Sales down on Ebay, but not other platforms

Does anyone feel like there's a new algorithm going around for sellers?

For the last 2 months, my sales have dropped quite dramatically.

Yes, I know there is a pandemic.

Yes, I know that JobKeeper has ended etc.

On the other site I sell on, my sales are up by 11% in comparison, so doesn't seem relative to the pandemic or to JobKeeper.

Anybody else going through an Ebay drought at the moment?

I said

" my sales have virtually stalled in the past two weeks, especially the last week. February though, was one of the busiest months I've ever had. Which makes it seem all the more curious."

FWIW the last several days have been so totally mental, that I'm back to average for the month, despite the dead first 10-12 days.  Total feast or famine lately. No idea why.

I did a whole lot of tweaking last week after I had posted the thread.

I did discuss the issue with a friend of mine who sells clothing and she said that when she went through a period of no sales recently, she ended a whole lot of items and then relisted them as "sell similar". I did the same thing in my shop and after about 48 hours, I did start to see an uptick in sales. 

After making pitiful sales over the previous 3 weeks, this week is almost back to what I would consider close to the normal cycle of the shop. It hasn't been mental like yours, but it's definitely increased and I've also had several enquiries which often lead to sales.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same.   It doesn't seem to matter how many different items I sell or for what price, my sales have been down. I am an Ebay Plus seller as well so my listings are supposed to get better page rankings but they really don't.  Yes, I feel the algorithm has changed as I think my items are not getting shown to as many buyers. I also think part of the problem is that there are more sellers on the platform.
