To All Out There on Ebay
particularly the collectible crew ..
it isn't ebay it is the general state of economy
there is chance of deflation we have upcoming imortant federal election
job security, investment pressures, and unemployment and migration issues
people in Australia and worldwide hlding onto the dollar
its tyre kicking e-bay time
i have been in busines of selling from teenager to my young 40's
these last two years in particular have been very slow
bricks and mortar wise not just ebay wise - hence had stopped brick mortar shops (30,000 annual rent plus)
and even ebay adds for a while
notice newtown it shut down - business moved -- or died look around where you live
business dying
thank the government for not supporting small business financially and wasting money on rescue jobs fr busienss which dye anyway fridge ,car manufacturers theres two ..
still have some involvemnet in brick and mortar - and it is slow
it is not just the buyers not spending - people saving rainny day is coming soon..
imagine as most people do worried about increase in iving costs ..save now
do with what we have and in fact get rid of stuuf we dont need
whatever price - they dont care about those sellers who built reputations on quality price
this practise of beating to bottom well they get there $$
the ebay seller can't make costs stuff doesn't sell
and well let us not go there ---
that is reality of it
buyers lose confidence when prices of goods constantly fluctuate,,
there is a flood once item gets good dollar theres like herd of sheep
chomping to get their patch of grass..
what is item really worth - and in most cases particularly in collectables and vintage stuff
it isn't lets make another one -- ship it here free from overseas tomorrow..
and values should be more along Carters style rather than ebay
check out last few months prices style
as ebay is not reflection of anything if your not selling new you can't gauge anything
as e-bayers we need to stick to our guns
don't be pushed into selling all your stock cheaper and cheaper
it should not be race to the bottom, rather strive for the top dollar
or keep a constant round about price
if as colective we supported each other more closely well wouldnt that be an unreal world
thats is it too the world isnt kind anymore to anyone eats dog eat dog
let us make ebay the sellers world once again as it was pre 2012
keep tough don't give up
its in the timing- and how about ebay Australia offer a election special
build up confidence in sellers
as seller maybe also try more social media styles of selling as that is the new trend -
unfortunate as is ebay is not the only one out there anymore
and people do shop elsewhere -
give that a go too be a buyer support ebay wherever you can ..
and have ook round ,ear to wall where do people go if not ebay ??
thankyou to all who read and its a top day its sunny and Central Coast Nsw rocks...
