Our sales are all over the place. As in abnormally so. £20 one day. £275 another day. Seems something very odd going on with the sales pattern? Anyone noticed the same. Almost as if listings are hidden one day then live the next day. Our other online selling platforms are totally consistent its just on ebay.

It's been like that since Cassini reared it's ugly head! I stopped selling for 2 months (July / Aug) until I could get my head around the new Simple Delivery foisted on ps. I started listing again beginning of Sept. No sales for >2 weeks then I had 2 sales last Thursday night - within an hour of each other. Then had one yesterday.
But yesterday my seller hub was 'missing' - when I clicked on Selling to see my summary it only showed my items for sale that were eligible for promotion (🤣). I had gone onto my desktop to print off a label but with eBay playing up and then my printer (cos it had been idle for so long) I was nearly having a panic attack. Apparently it has been resolved but not been onto my selling page to check.
It never has been consistent for the past few years. It may be the servers can't cope showing everyone's things so they are rotated? I am not techy at all but it does seem a bit weird there are long periods of nothing then a McFlurry!

'How eBay Controls What You Sell' by Justin Resells on YT had some interesting data and good info last month.

Sales are very poor on here lately. Only doing a fraction of what I would expect to get.
But I have noticed lots of IT faults on here in recent weeks, which I suspect is having an effect.

They seem to be retracting on lats night's change of they way the variations were shown. Suddenly some drop-down lists turned into picture options and everything went down in terms of stock adjustment for us. Just noticed, it has gone back to normal... for now.
Well done ebay - brilliant as usual. Instead of getting things right, they are just messing about.

I've been searching items past couple of days to get information on current market prices and sold prices of particular items and the search results is completely all over the place. One time only overseas sellers items were being shown then refresh page and uk sellers shown.
Their IT teamust be utterly novices, well when they make changes and don't test before releasing, says it all!
