I Know Everyone Is Sick Of This Question

[arlottstreetstation]

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing a massive drop in sales?

Things died for a while after the increase in FVFs but picked up - But, ever since the lastest "Disaster Release" I've noticed a steady decine to the point where I'm now going days without a Sale. This time of year is normally the other wayaround for me with the lead up to Xmas.

Granted, a lot of my normal return Customers are now contacting me direct because they're sick of paying the high prices I'm forced to charge on Ebay to cover Fees, but there are VERY FEW new Customers coming along.

When they do, I am constantly surprised (and amused) to hear cmments like "I don't trust Ebay anymore", "Ebay is too User Unfriendly" etc. .....

THE BUYERS are telling me that they don't believe in Free Post & in fact even become suspicious when they see something that seems too cheap with Free Post as it usually signals JUNK!!!! They're sick of being ripped off by the Chinese Junk Peddlers & their misleading Listings saying the item is in Australia, only to find it's coming from O/S & will take weeks to get here.

I've taken a wait & see attitude up until now, but alas I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worth it. Some boffin who wouldn't have a clue about my Business constantly telling me what's best for it - what Buyers want when clearly it is not - creating a poisonous atmosphere of distrust by BOTH Buyers & Sellers & so on & so on....

So in the immortal words of "Big Brother" - It's time to go....EBAY!!!!

Sales might be slower on other Sites, or even my own Website, but then, nothing is happening here anymore....

Have you lost your 'caps lock' button & are unable to do little characters.

Seems to be becoming a norm - are you using IE, FF, M.

Check under the desk.

You look like the Doc - giving bad news.

S'pose that is factual & important.

Especially if pregnancy wasn't a priority.

There's always one fool that insists that everyone on here works for eBay. Those fools usually insist on screaming at everyone to get their point across. What they do realise is, no-one cares about their non sensical rants because a single, long sentence is IMPOSSIBLE to read. Some people really should get an education before they start trying to rant on a public forum.

As for me paying bucket loads of fees, nope, I don't pay a single cent. My buyers pay the fees. Oh, them and my wonderful employer eBay. You see, I am one of the favoured, protected ones. EBay staff have those special priviledges you know. Maybe you should get off the dole and get a job with eBay too, so you can reap some of the benefits. Best thing I ever did!

So there, your suspicions have been confirmed. All the regular members on here work for eBay. We've been caught out. You're a genuis.

Now I've finished with the sarcasm, getting back on topic, I've had a great few days! I don't expect it to last, but the last few days have been good.
