Sales down 55% on monthly averages, dead as a DODO on all IDs including the auction listing one. ( 100 free listings, a few sales but VERRRRRRY SLOOOOOOOW ) Did eighty new listings in the last couple of days for two extra sales. I would normally expect around ten !!!

Sold six of the eighty new BIN listings today, ( three days after listing them ) plus some good results in some auctions and a few sales on existing BIN items.  This follows no sales at all for 36 hours middle of week.  Is this another example of the "on again, off again" results many are experiencing ???   All very strange

SWITCHED OFF AGAIN !!!    You can come to my place Clarry and share our dry bread and dripping.

I think you make a really good point. I know it has already been raised somewhere on a thread, but has anyone done a google search for items in your store? eBay search results used to be featured heavily on the top right-hand side of the screen for most items. I believe this was bringing people to eBay because the pics were nice and clear. Even when you click on google images now, eBay items used to feature heavily on first page. Now there's more of a mix of everything. Images from my own online store are actually above the eBay images. This has never happened before, as I don't promote my my own online store adequately at present (but certainly will be getting onto it!) Has eBay down-scaled its 'googlability' (due to costs) or something??

I'll bring the dripping. You bring the dry bread. LOLOLOL

By the end of this week we were mailing out 4 items each day across both our stores.

This is crazy when we normally mail out 20-25 per day. And were hoping to reach around 40 per day.

Perhaps 4 is now the new norm.

This is our bread & butter. We will struggle to keep this up.

I don't know what else to think other than buyers are leaving in droves and taking their business elsewhere. And we need to find that "elsewhere" too.

Perhaps we need to call our new website "elsewhere.com"

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but when using my tablet, trying to search or browsing, its hopeless

Looking at Little photos,  click onto it, then you have to click discription etc. The mobile site is **bleep**. So relaxing on the sofa watching telly, I am not now browsing on Ebay. So nothing being bought for my own crafts etc. I have to wait until I am on the computer.

Others might be having this trouble also , so spending is down.

My sales are average , but then I am selling out, once I get rid of my stock, thats it, but at this rate may take couple years.

Also with the new fees on postage, not buying anything else to sell, so overall Ebay will loose out from me. But I am just 1 little person, which won't make much difference to their greed.
