Like you and many other sellers on these boards over the past couple of months our ebay sales are also down by about 85% or so.
We are trying to build our off-ebay sales now but its early days for us.
If your off-ebay sales are going gangbusters then you at least have that to fall back on. That is our plan now for the future. Good onya for forward planning and not putting all your eggs in one basket as we have erroneously done up until now.
If we can get our off-ebay sales to go gangbusters like yours we will likely drop ebay selling altogether. Its just far too stressful for the meagre returns.
My personal theory is that buyers are deserting ebay as a place to buy in droves. The site is full of glitches and is very difficult for a buyer to navigate. We have lots of buyers making errors when trying to buy especially the newbies. We are often asked for advice on how to do this or that when buying.
So why would they persist when they can often find the same items on other web sites with far less buying hassles. And as often as not cheaper too.
Google is your friend for product searches not Cassini these days.
