Sales have just STOPPED???

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-(

Hi the-kazbar


 


I had no idea that 'STormy days' was the style name. The heading is therefore even more confusing than I thought. I really don't think buyers should have to 'translate' what the seller is trying to sell. Perhaps she should have written TS 14+ 'Stormy Days' top.

As a buyer without a credit card I have to use e-cheques, which can take up to twelve days to be processed. This is not satisfactory for me or the seller. The old system used to work perfectly, payment was made instantly. I will NOT put credit card information on the internet!


    My solution is to stop buying. I guess many other people are doing the same.


  If sellers cannot offer bank transfer I will not be buying.

You can also purchase one-of use or rechargable Visa cards from post office and other outlets over the counter, that are not linked to an individual or bank account

I pray for people who are prepared to pay via Direct Deposit, the fees are a killer when you also have to factor in Unsold items [some listings [alone] cost $3.00 to - $6.00 depending on the opening price listed in 2 categories].


 


What do you like to buy ????

In addition I am quite certain if you asked a seller for the bank details they will happily accept your money into their account. Who wouldn't?


If it is a trustworthy seller, as most are, then great for all concerned.


No paypal fee's for the seller, no worries about a claim for INR or INAD for the seller.


No protection for the buyer - So if not such a trustworthy or honourable seller then


you just gave your moneyaway to a complete stranger.


I do not consider that too wise2677


 


Just saying.
