Ebay have switched off my lights again!

[beauty-savvy]

Well it's happened again....

We have gone from the normal 5 to 10 sales a day, 5 to 10 ebay questions a day, to zero sales, zero questions, and no views!!

This happened less than a month ago and lasted 5 full days.

Then as if someone hits a switch we are back on and selling again.

I have just created a 7% off sale on some items, trying to see if I can trigger some sales and have the lights turned back on.

Anyone have any suggestions? Really don't want 5 days of zero sales, particularly coming into the weekend.

OMG! do women really pay over $150 for 50g of some cream that they think is going to hold back the march of time?

I would just use some cheapo moisturiser and spend the rest on a bottle of gin,  I am sure I will look so much younger in the mirror after I few G&Ts :^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O

That is if I needed to do anything but you cannot improve what is perfect :^O:^O:^O:^O:^O:^O

Beauty-savvy it is simply our turn.  I haven't had a sale for 8 days and that has never happened before, and I have been selling for more than 10yrs.

I see posts like this all of the time.  I think we must all have our lights switched off for a few days every 3 months.... but they forgot to turn mine back on 😞

Thanks Austeam - sorry to hear you are in the same boat

I do accept that it may be our turn again (even though it feels as though my turn comes around very often - once a month rather than every 3 months), a few days of zero sales would be tolerable, but over 5 days is torture!

my sales have been declining since last week and over weekend, bounced back a bit Tuesday, but past 48 hours has been horribly dead  :_|

Yes it has been very slow, so slow that I have not watchers and hardly anybody looking on many items.

Hi All, I am finding the same thing, all but one of our stores (3) is way down on volumes of sales. But, on the flip side, our B&M is back to where it was 5 or so years ago, and treading water nicely ATM.  Its interesting to hear that quite a lot of our customers will not buy off ebay any more due to bad experiences, we actually hear it quite a few times daily now.  Its sad, used to be an incredible place:-(, and the fact that our real life store is doing well, & picked up pace, shows that you cannot just blame the economy for a downward trend in sales.  Hope sales do pick up soon & in time for Xmas:-)
