I wonder how much I could make if ebay didnt turn off my lights. I have had very slow sales the last 3 weeks ...and I mean sloooowwww.

 

I went to bed Saturday night with 3 orders all done up ready to post. Sunday came and went and I went to the PO today (Monday)  with 34 orders to post. Yup a very busy Sunday.

 

Now its almost 5pm on Monday and I have had one sale.

 

Thanks for the one day window of light ebay. I wonder how much I could make if they left me on and how much in fees they are losing by turning them off..??  Just does not make sense.

It's called 'throttling'......numerous threads over the years:

That's staggering.  There's got to be something going on there.  Wish I had a crazy day like that, it's been a long time...

I had a similar experience around seven or eight months ago. Lights blazing for three days. I spent the time just full time packing. Nothing else, just packing and still getting further and further behind. Each day I backed my car up and used trolleys at the rear entrance to the post office as I had too many parcels to go over the front counter. Unfortunately it ended as abruptly as it started.

 

It does make you wonder though. What If .......????????

Same here - reasonably steady daily sales for the last couple of months; died early last week...
