https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/UK-Retail-sales-down-1-1-in-October/m-p/7960759#M340451 <P>Since October im about 40% down on Ebay on last year and about the same as last year on Amazon which is quiet for me there anyway as i dont have much stock listed.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I dont seeing it being amazing after the budget not with all the price increases coming next year (it will be broadband, mobile bills, council tax, water etc) which will lead to inflation increase when all the tax increases kick in. As said by&nbsp;<a href="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2477567">@theelench</a>&nbsp; the tax threshold is a massive problem and if they don't rise nothing is going to get better any time soon.</P> Fri, 21 Nov 2025 12:00:23 GMT tribalgiftsuk 2025-11-21T12:00:23Z
