We operate 2x ebay stores and estimate that for the past 2/3-weeks our sales are down about 60%.

On Wed this week for the first time ever since opening our stores (12-months ago now) one store went 2-days without a single sale. It has been a terrible month.

On the upside tho ebay haven't taken much from us in fees this month.

But I guess for them it doesn't matter as those same buyers who might have otherwise bought from us are still buying, but probably just from Chinese sellers as that is what is coming up tops on the search results in our category.

We will be ready very soon to launch our own web site so hoping that will provide us with some backup to here in the quiet times. If we can get that working how we would like it to over the next 12-months we will cease trading on here and rely on our own site. Use the exorbitant fees we pay here in marketing campaigns for our own site. We are quietly confident this will work.
