Anyone Else Having a Bad Weekend With No Sales

HI All

 

I am a long-term ebay member and have started selling on ebay again about 2 years ago and now have 1900+ active listing and I normally sell around 10 items per day and even more on the weekend... but for the past 48 hours there have been no sales... making me think ebay may have issues or something else going on...

 

Anyone super super slow with their sales.. or is it just me

 

Thx

Ebay are having huge amounts of issues, it would not surprise me if that has/is having an impact on many sales/sellers

 

 

Mine have been dead in the water for a long time, so I can't really comment from personal experience 

ebay turn the lights off to some stores at times as this is a frequent occurrence where lots of sales will happen over some time and then it is like items are not visible for a few days before they start selling again.

 

Of course ebay will never admit there is a problem but it happens so much.

 

That is what I was thinking too... like they just turn the store off whenever they like and turn it back on... so frustrating tho.

It's very hard to have sales when I can't list anything.

ebay is still trying to charge me $1.65 for my FREE listings.

It has been going on for over 2 weeks, and I am so sick of it.

I just don't know what to do.

I have contacted ebay several times, but it makes no difference.

I don't have enough confidence to list and try and get a refund for fees, as others are still waiting for their refunds.

It is really stressful as I rely on ebay for part of my income. 

I also sell for other people who are desperately short of money.

I can't help them if ebay don't fix the problem soon.

try listing this way: do everything as normal, but instead of 'listing now' click on 'save for later'.....wait a couple of minutes....go to 'complete draft'.....and it should be fee free with 3 x relists

Or - another workaround is to open your saved Draft and if it is still trying to charge you a listing fee - go to the top right of your listing to Quick List ( or something like that) - this gave me the fee free listing + the extra 3 x free relists.

I don't have a store, but I am experiencing the same thing - no sales at all this weekend. Normally weekends are my busiest times. My most recent sale was a single one last Thursday, another single last Wednesday and 9 sales last weekend.

Nothing happening here for almost a week.  I have just about given up on eBay.

According to eBay's weekly email, the items people are most looking at recently include:

 

Pizza ovens

Gym equipment

Phone protection accessories

Floor sofas

 

And... Socks which say F*** OFF (true!  And not censored in their email!)

 

Perhaps a subtle message to us small sellers who are failing here...
