My sales for Sept - Oct totalled $5.80 to a UK buyer. At that time I had around 100 items listed, mix of auct & BIN. No money coming in, no money going out is the simple equation I work by! 

It appears that ebay have rolling blackouts. Sometimes your items can be seen, sometimes they can't. Simple as that!

I've sold on ebay this last fortnight & even today, with less items listed. I now have money to spend. Ebay forgets that sellers are also buyers!

What kept me slightly afloat & alive were my Quicksales sales over the lean ebay time. No fees to pay to list or sell on the QS site was helpful. That's my take on bad sales & why I'm  not buying!
