To find out what things are actually selling for, click on the " advanced" link next to the big blue search button, type in what you have for sale ie. Murano glass etc. and then scroll down to " sold items ". Tick this and search. This will then show you what items are actually selling for, rather than what you have them insured for.

Some of your items such as the vice are reasonably priced, while others are priced much higher than they are currently selling for ( ie. your glassware and pottery ). Most of your items are discretionary spend rather than things people really need. When the economy is tough, or they have just spent a lot of money on Christmas etc. the first thing people cut back on is discretionary spending on the internet.

As for sales, mine are still ticking along quite nicely, but have slowed slightly over the Christmas / New year period. This could be because I have spent very little time on ebay. With ebay, you get out of it what you put in. Little effort, poor results, 

Might I also say that your postage rates are all over the shop  You have an orchid book with $1600.00 for postage.  I think you may need to do a bit of homework.

My sales started pretty well....until I had 2 buyers completed wasted my time for not paying for their items, failed to reply to my emails. I had one person bid's retracted, and a finally a sale on eBay.
