My sales are very inconsistent. Last week was one of the best I've had, this week it's like my ebay store is behind shutters.


 


But this seems to be "normal", Overall, my sales are ticking over, certainly enough to make it worth while.

Can't comment on activity at the moment as I am 'on holiday' from selling but you are selling in a very oversubscribed category and it is very hard to get anywhere with a store with so few items listed.



It wouldn't hurt to diversify a bit and sell other things, if you offer good postage discounts people who bought something else may add a few stickers or whatever to their purchase.

I have found the last 10 days have been especially quiet.  Sales only every couple of days as opposed to everyday.  It has been across the board though and not just here.



Hopefully it will pick up soon.

My sales have nose dived for about18 months now.  I Think it is because the big stores are selling on ebay.  I used to be able to rely on sales to help out when bills came in or do my Christmas shopping. but now my sales are down about 75% on what they were.   I keep on keeping on bcause I have stock


We are selling up soon so it will be interesting to see how pre loved stock goes against brand new.

Strange thing, I have noticed a pattern over the last 3 weeks. Sales are good Monday to Thursday then very little or nothing on Friday and over the weekend. It is like the lights have been turned off for those 3 days.
