Hi I have been selling on eBay for over 2 years, since I moved here from Canada. It was slow at first since I had to build trust but I have always had happy customers and no issues or cases against me. I had one return once but it was over a typo, I wrote 19inches but meant 19cm for a bracelet and the buyer returned it and I paid her back BEFORE I even got the item in the mail, jsut to make sure that she would be satisfied with how the sale went etc. I always get the nicest emails and calls from my customers once they receive their items they always seem genuinely thrilled which is ofcourse pretty rewarding.
Ok so with all this said my sales have gone from brisk to non existant in the past 2 months, my prices have not changed or the items I sell, I am sort of stumped. I know the economy is bad but shouldnt that mean more people would be coming to alternative sales sites like eBay and Etsy for mroe expensive items? Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this as well. The weird thing is my sales outside of eBay have not nosedived, they have been steady if not increasing... This is what makes me wonder if it is eBay specific. I am jsut wondering if it is worth it to keep paying auctiva fees and ebay fees and posting listings if this is commonplace now.
I need to be clear, I have no watchers, no emails, no offers, and if I do get an offer it is a fake offers - those would be offers 1/3 - 18th of my asking price.
Any help would be much, much appreciated!
