Will it be viable for you to run your store based on current sales?

Would you think there could be temporary store fees relief if there was to be an exodus of stores closing?

Last week was very quiet, but I've just had a much busier monday-wednesday than usual. Overall takings not up, but number of transactions high. Considering I axed overseas listings, this is promising. Again, some of this is stuff that has been up there forever that I thought would never sell.

I ended up with exactly the same number of sales in March as in Feb.

Last week was very quiet.  I only had a few sales over the weekend, but they've continued on, and I've actually had more sales so far on Monday-Tuesday.  Mostly more modestly priced items, but enough to keep things ticking over.

One thing I've noticed - several sales have been items which had been relisting for six months or more, and which I'd nearly given up on. I think I may  know why.  Copies of many of the items I sell are available from the UK or even the USA at competitive prices.. I think CV19 is actually driving  some of these overseas sales back to the domestic market. 

I stopped shipping overseas last week, and it only makes sense that, for similar reasons, many people will have stopped buying from international sellers.  I think the overall trend downwards in sales is being offset by picking up sales which might previously have gone offshore.

Early days.

I received a lovely message from an international client saying their parcel arrived safety, well packed etc. They went on to say the reason they where late in responding after receiving the package was that they left it outside for a week before opening as Covit 19 precaution...............Interesting times.

Oops. Thought the figures were all in.  March was actually up by nearly 10%.
