I think I have to agree with you re being punished.... I think You & I had this discussion last week.... I noticed after my comments re Throttling ect that my Sales, which had already been HORRIBLY slow, just stopped altogether.... Then, after I shutup for a while & stopped posting, they went back to normal for a week....
Sort of makes you think.... Those that say Ebay don't read these Boards may be wrong.... And if you think about it, they'd be crazy not to have someone looking in to see what the general mood is from time to time.... Only basic Market Research really...
There seems to a pattern evolving with me.... I get a week or so of Sales from certain States, then they seem to swap over to the others... Then NOTHING for a while....So SOMETHING is definitely going on....
Will be interesting to see what happens now that I've mentioned the dreaded "T" word again on here.... Maybe I'm just being Paranoid, but it's been going on for too long now to be a coincidence.....
I always say, if you are wrong, its paranoia. If you are right it is good instincts!!! I agree that it feels like punishment! It is not just a lack of sales as we said last week, but when the views, watchers, enquiries, offers, are ALL down by a big margin, you know something is not right!
And I have had pretty much the same, I hardly ever get sales from SA, and yet at the back end of last month I had a couple of sales, a couple of offers and some enquiries!! Maybe those in SA are all hackers and have bypassed eBay's 'controls'???
