I,m not really a conspiricy theorist ( and neither is the wife ) but the lights on, lights off thing, and selling ceiling seems too predictable and obvious to ignore. It seems something pretty strange is going on. The wife who is pretty hard to convince agrees. BUT WHY ? The only thing I can think of is that ebays computer systems are too clapped out to handle the growing customer base. ( and too expensive to replace when the ebay share price is tanking ) As for sales, I havnt been listing lately, but my sales are pretty flat at the moment. Hoping to do some fresh listings later next week to get things moving again.
