My sales are down and I haven't made the mods to get my listings higher.

The reason is I refuse to give ebay any more of my profit than I need to.

eBay take a percentage of the sale but that doesn't include the postage fee. If we adjust our pricing to include "free post" they get to charge on that too!

That's the reason why ebay has made all that fuss with free postage forcing sellers to offer it in order to get TRS.  Just ignore it, because in fact it is not about TRS it is about ebay trying to get more profit in fees from postage cost.

I am TRS and I have never  offered free postage as there is no such thing in real life.

For 150 products I list only two very cheap ones come wth free postage because that's easier for me that way to sell them.

re sales drop, My sales have dropped too in the last 7 days and I am receiving less questions from potential buyers.  I would say it is more than 50% drop.
