My sales have been down this year too (particularly the past few months) and I gotta admit I've become pretty disillusioned with ebay lately.

I can't help but wonder if Australia Post's recent price rise is also partially to blame (in addition to other peoples' theories). I sell mostly sell second-hand clothing and it was much easier being able to sell things for $6.60 but I imagine a lot of people are put off by buying a second-hand item for around $8 postage PLUS the actual item's price.
