Has someone turned ebay off ?

[stickerswa]

Whats going on ...I was selling heaps over all 3 accounts and then about 2 weeks ago ALL accounts have seen 60 -80% drop in sales. I know ebay turns the lights on and off but I have never seen it soooo dark. 

Anyone else ???

That's probably why you haven't sold anything lately :D!

I only gave up last week still have one item for sale. Won't be resisting it.

Ebay is loading fine.   

I suggest you clear your cookies and cache if it's running slow for you

Or change browser if you're using IE especially

was looking for items and gave up due to pages not loading.  cleared cookies and cache made no diff at all.  tried another pc and same thing. maybe some areas in AU its fine but bad where i am for the last month or more.

Yes all online selling has gone dead for us too over the past couple of weeks.

Some days have been ZERO sales across ALL our selling venues.

We even had a day this week where we had ZERO visitors to our website, which has never happened before.

Etsy sales have also been few and far between.

So I don't believe it's restricted to ebay.

If it is any help, everything seems to be working logically now, but over the last week I (as a buyer) have noticed a couple of frustrating things.

In my searches, I found a whole lot of things came up that had absolutely nothing to do with my search terms & didn't have any of my search terms in the title-I specifically checked as I was so surprised. (I think I was looking up slow cookers and a whole lot of car parts came up).

Also I was browsing for curtains within 50 km and lo & behold UK & USA listings were included there.

I'm a long time user of ebay so just shrugged my shoulders and tried again but I can imagine some newer buyers would just click out in frustration. And all of us could very well have missed seeing relevant listings.

HAHA. just gave up checking items as pages take too long to load yet the rest of the internet is super fast in loading...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i'm using chrome and get a lot of my fav message, the 'oh snap something went wrong'

have been putting it down to my internet connection, telstras wireless.

but now thinking about it i dont get many problems off ebay.

hasnt stopped me buying and listing. have no idea if sales are bad as i'm not a huge seller.

In case people haven't noticed, the olympic games are on at the moment.  A lot of people would be glued to their tv screens instead of their computer screens.

I think thats the reason too englishrose.... however I' ve had much more success through local facebook groups lately - I think times are a changing, and ebay need to offer eternal free listings to encourage sellers to take the time to list on their site if only a tiny bit ever sells - as in its not worth the time it takes to list!!

Done all that several times - after a whinge to CS it suddenly started runing at normal speed - funny that?
