Sales drop

[dinosaurman00]

Have been selling items consistently until last week. Some days 5 or more sales and even more on weekends. Now im lucky if ive sold 5 items in a week. Has anyone noticed a drop in their sales in the last week?

I'm currently down 90% from this time last year. Yes, you're reading that right.

It's gotten worse as the year has progressed.

No explaining it, but I know that on the other platform I sell on, my sales are consistently decent month on month and often around 5% above the same time last year, so this is a uniquely Ebay issue.

Our sales are down about 25% in both our accounts over the past 6 weeks. Whilst this is common year on year over the same period for the past 10 - 12 years it's a little alarming heading into the Christmas rush. Especially when we have twice as many items listed this year vs previous years. Interesting times ahead!

Keyword Spamming by whom, could you explain what you mean please?

'Fresh' is best. Once an item gets relisted it's a race to the bottom of search.

I'm a little reluctant to draw any conclusions yet; it's only been about a week, but so far my sales have cratered this month                                 

As I anticipated, as soon as I wrote this, things went back to normal.
