Always quiet in January, but I have found December January the least sales I have had in over  a year. Hope it picks up soon

[davewil1964]

Define quiet.

Compared to January last year? No

Compared to December? Yes, but that is normal.

Last year my January sales were down about 20% on December, this year they are down 80% (so far)

Possibly also depends on what you sell

School Hols and buying back to school stuff probably draining the purses and wallets atm.

i know i'm not buying as much as i was a year ago. i think its because ebay is just annoying the **bleep** out of me with all its new rules and regulations. i'm fully expecting another raft of fees, the search fee, the watch fee, the ask a question fee, the quit ebay fee. ect ect

I seem to be running along OK. I can't compare to last January as I wasn't selling then. I seem to be going off to the post office most days with 2 or 3 things.

Most people are still in shock at how much they put on their CC's over Xmas and are desperately trying to pay them off LOL

That's my reason anyhoo !

I'm not complaining, I've surpassed my average for the last three months already, with nearly two weeks of January left,  So the buyers are definitely out there.
