Hi. As i have said on other posts my sales are down. At one point by about 95% now perhaps 75%-80% There are various reasons but it all comes down to Ebay pushing us out to make way for larger profits from international sellers. Im sure now however I will get lots of advice by other users who mean well but are not quite on the ball as usual. Things like, "offer auctions," "Offer Free Post" etc etc etc. However after 14 years on Ebay I am pretty sure I know my business a little better than someone who reads my post and decides they have a "miracle cure!" Been there and done that! (there are some options but If I mention those my post will be removed by the moderation squad) I no longer use auctions as my items are low profit and I find now days a $0.99 cent listing often sells for $0.99 (IE: I pay for someone to take my stock). My profit margin is already below subsistance level so free post is out of the question.It is NOT because we are in Recession. It is NOT because I dont know what Im doing. Ebay has changed and those who are luckily making enough profit per item may survive. (If you are one of these, good luck to you.) Those of us with minimal profits will NOT! As for those who have listened to the Ebay hype over the years like the stories (or paid advertisements as the case may be) on A CURRENT AFFAIR, where they have told us to open an Ebay business and make our living there. I think these people have every right to complain. Not that anyone will be listening.....
