As I had some spare time on the weekend (normally busy doing parcelling of ebay sales!!) I went through some old ebay sales records to compare "May" sales from previous years.

As I suspect, sales from previous years (going as far back as 2003) are down by as much as 80%.

I appreciated some years the number of items I have listed may of been higher or lower but when the number of sold versus unsold is compared it is very clear that more items are not selling (and dont get my started on ebay fees when compared to my records back in 2003 etc).

I also remember back in 2000 when it was free to list on e-bay (just like another Aussie site is promoting at the moment!!)
