Sales have just STOPPED???

[shamrockshirts]

Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow sales? 

I've been selling here for over 5 years, an average of 10 items per day, every day of the week.  Then suddenly on Saturday, my sales just stopped.  Ebay can't give me an explanation for it, I've changed nothing in my listings or my settings. 

My products are still selling as normal on my other online sites, and my other ebay accounts are also selling as normal.

Any ideas what could be going on?  It's costing me a fortune!  X-(

Guys, you may have all lost track here a bit - the OP was Shamrockshirts, and they have not been back.

I don't care if I'm berated for this comment or not ....

Reading these boards is often like reading a transcript of a 5 year old school ground squabble.

You're all as bad as each other!

True, but at least they are openly discussing with each other when they could be talking to themselves burkeinlad  LOL

I think the feedback you have received on your listings is quite valid. Just as an example... the listing for

   
BRAND NEW WOMENS TS 14+ STormy days TOP SZ s + $100 in free gifts do miss out

• Your title implies that there are 2 items of clothing, yet only one item is shown in the 6 photos (unless the two tops are almost identical).


• There are no measurements given for either item, and 14 and SZ s just don't cut it. Especially something marked a size S.


• What is a 'cowneck'? Presumably you mean 'cowl neck'?


• The 'pOLYESTER elastane' fabric referred to... which item of clothing? (you may wish to check your use of caps here)


• Do you really mean 'free gift do miss out' in your heading?? Perhaps you mean don't?


• And $14.00 for postage? For two tops, which if polyester are unlikely to even reach 500g. And even if the weight exceeds 500g due to the 'free gifts' $14 still seems excessive.

I love the direction of this thread.

It's funny how annoyed they are because they are not getting any sales and then get even more annoyed when people try to give him advice....

He sorta just answered his own question as to why he's not getting any sales.

People have to realise that ebay is one of the best concepts for a free market. ie. In a free market the consumer and competition determine the price.

Rarely does the seller, unless they have a monolopy.

So if the product isn't selling then then the marketplace isn't willing to pay that much for it, so you either need to adjust the price or stop selling the product altogether (there maybe no demand for that type of product atm)

It's amazing how learning a little bit of economics can help with your business

Am I the only one that had to google Monkey Fart fragrance?

[punch*drunk]

OMG, there was so much more to my post than that. Wonder where it disappeared to?

Fragrance Oil - Monkey Farts$4.60

Don't be put of by the name. This fruity combination of tropical banana, with a hint of coconut and grapefruit is anything but disgusting!

Tracey the advice here is good, your listings could do with some improvements, describing Monkey Fart fragrance would be a good start.

yes you are all right, what is going on is australian ebay allows overseas sellers to send to australia. the australian buyers dont have to pay GST so they think they can get it cheaper over seas instead of here.So what i sell with US postage and small profit out weights overseas ebay!

• Your title implies that there are 2 items of clothing, yet only one item is shown in the 6 photos (unless the two tops are almost identical).

Not to dismiss your reply but it is one top for sale. The brand is called TS14+ (it is a plus size brand)

so a translation would be

BRAND NEW WOMENS TS 14+ (brand) STormy days (style name) TOP SZ s (small) + (and) $100 in free gifts don't miss out 🙂
