Sales Stopped

[rakem2011]

Just wondering if other sellers are finding that Sales have just stopped, it's like everything has been turned off, just seems strange or is it the time of year things seem to stop ??

Sounds like eBay silently throttling sales as usual. Some sellers call it "lights on, lights off" syndrome, where you make a killing in sales, and all of a sudden nothing whatsoever for three weeks, and then go back to selling heaps of the exact same things that were listed the entire time as though your account found its way into a black hole in the space/time continuum.

Could be. The throttling thing used to be as clear as day with combined monthly store sales regularly the same, almost to the dollar, but that no longer seems to be the case. Sales do still seem to stop though for a period after a particularly good day.

Currently sales are back 30% on normal, but I have not done any listing for a month or so. That also seems to make a big difference.

My sales have never set the world on fire, but in the good old days I used to sometimes have to go to the post office twice a day, with buyers in the USA my biggest customers.

These days I hardly have any buyers, let alone overseas buyers and can hardly remember where the post office is located 😃😃😃😃

P.S will be removing the rest of my listings by June 18........

Yep, May looked a little bit hopeful in the middle, then full stop since the 24th. It's like someone is playing psychological warfare with us....come here, come here......no get away, get away...... 😕
