This may explain the almost zero sales from the 15th Aug - had 3 normal weeks before then but lights out again.

Buyers & sellers alike do not want the hassles of clearing caches etc neither do they think of it, they just want to use the site - this is the sort of thing that sends buyers especially running. eBay has to be one of the most difficult sites to navigate and use.

All these glitches may also be due to eBay implementing in August, the new review section whereby buyers can message past buyers for an opinion of an item. This surely must have privacy issues and I would be furious if I received never ending messages asking for opinions on an item I purchased - surely this is what feedback is for????????????

Got to hand it to eBay - they sure know how to drive away buyers & sellers!
