Me. I haven't sold anything since 5 th of February, things have listed 3 times in a row without selling. What am I doing wrong? It's pretty ridiculous.

Re: What's the longest you've been without a sale?

Try listing on quicksales .... I have items on there that sell well here but that have sat on there for 6 months and not sold 1.

 

I have 3 accounts on feebay and they have all slowed to a crawl. Same items and price as months ago when i was selling 30 a week ...now lucky to sell 3 a week.

 

on 1 account .... nothing for 6 days then last monday 8 sales before lunch ...and nothing since !

 

Oh well saving heaps of fees I guess.

Selling on average one or two items a week (in a good week !!) compared to hardly ever having to relist (items almost always sold on firsty listing) if I go back a couple of years.

 

It seems to be pretty much the same or similar story for all small sellers these days, at least on ebay.

 

I guess different variables do affect volume of sales. Obviously, someone listing 100's of items a week is going to get a greater sales volume than someone listing 10 items, but in terms of their percentage of sales, it could be much the same picture.

 

Naturally, there are lots of other variables affecting sales frequency and success.

 

However, there is no getting away from the fact that for small and casual sellers the picture is pretty bleak !!

Yes, sales are slow. I've just reduced the BIN prices over the weekend to get a few more sales. Can I also suggest you rotate your pictures to make it easier for prospective buyers to see what you are offering..

List more items?

 

I list one or two most days, and my inventory is reducing at the moment, as sales are more.

 

Oh yeah.  A week, once; 5 days a couple of times.

That sounds like a good idea 'davewil' !!

 

I've been slotting in new items to replace ones that sell, but I think I'll try your approach next .... I keep hoping for an improvement .... maybe April ??
