Has anyone's sales improved over the past few weeks?

Still dead here, so depressing.

Watchers are like the tooth fairy . I had an item that had over 200 watchers - it relisted 3 times . Still sitting here

i'm in the same boat. down 50% or so compared to last month. only began selling in march last year, so can't compare with this month last year. 

it sure is depressing!

So predictable... once I mentioned the sales in this thread, it all ground to a halt, nothing since!

After several back-to-back days of absolutely nothing in January, I managed to sell some coins ($40 worth of old NZ coins I kept getting in my change and hoarding!), three games and a DVD-ROM drive. eBay didn't even get $10 out of me this month.

Two user names 1 sale this month....Throttling is well and truly on with Ebay.I search my items and can never find them.Unless i go to end of the listings after 10 or so pages.

So how's sales now ?? everyone - mine WERE OK but really slowed down now!! So thought I'd give them a boost by coming on here & saying how slow it is!! We dont even have the idiot selling his empty boxes to keep us amused!! God ... he was worth the price of admission round here!! Anyone know what he' s doing now?

I checked my non store account awhile ago. It is a standard 40 freebies per month account that does not get the three free relists, but does seem to get the 150 freebie offer quite often. I have had 52 sales for the last 30 days on this account, with slightly above average $$$ figure, so pretty happy with that. I,m also negotiating a bulk sale with a customer at the moment for around 25 items.. If that comes off, I will be doing a little happy dance.

The stores have been ticking along nicely for the last couple of weeks after a reasonably slow holiday period. I have done around 200 new listings in the last two weeks and I,m sure this helps with visibility.

All up I would be very pleased if sales stayed at this level for all of 2017. Fingers crossed.

Oooh that's great to hear that sales are active for at least some, Chameleon.  Gives us hope! !Yes mine were inline to beat last years January sales BUT THEN CAME TO A DEAD STOP. Xmas sales started very slowly but then picked up nicely later in the month. Supposed I'm just relieved to that sales arent in that doldrum of late Oct to early Dec last year. Still think that was the "sellers hub" tinkering Ebay did then. Still cant bring myself to go near sellers hub!! Another co-incidence I've just realized is my sales stopped as soon as Trump got sworn in !!! Ha Haaa! He;s become my bad luck symbol I think he;s the world's bad luck symbol!!

REALLY?? Are you yanking my chain!!Although if anyone would do that- it'd be him ...REALLY? Amusing little bugger !!
