My sales have dropped off dramatically and wondering if anything has changed in the listings

[rainbow090434]

Over the past 6 weeks my sales have dropped off dramatically and so have the amount of watchers. Has anything changed in the listings or placement of listings? I realise increased competition would have an impact, but wondering if there are other reasons for the lack of consistency in sales.

ivé got half a dozen antique samurai sword tsuba i'm going to sell so i'm going to try quicksales for first time just to see how they go i know they would sell on ebay no problem BUT with ebay's high fees thesedays i'd be giving them away anyway just my own personal test

I just got off the phone with Paypal.com and the worker was telling me sales may have dropped because Paypal.com and Ebay.com will no longer be a party together by June or July. They said that it would make sense that the buyers would wonder what Ebay is going to do next. I seen messages from buyers talking about Ebay prices has increased, but we have been giving our stuff away for too long now to reduce the cost any lower. It is ridiculous.

Since when has anything from Paypal or eBay customer service been useful? They tell you one thing, call up again and ask the exact same question and you will probably get a different answer. Their services are not syncronised probably just want to feed you information to satisfy our minds.

Remember when some guys twitter got hacked? The hacker explained the process (which used both PayPal and GoDaddy) and got info out of PayPal to get into GoDaddy. Godaddy admitted it was hacked but put the blame on PayPal for giving out details to the hacker.. Paypal just said nothing because they knew they screwed up..
