I am closing my eBay business, because it is not worth it anymore, literally making a few pounds a day and having gone from a £70k business, the Brexit mess and the Russia illegal war has ended sales all over Europe. High postage prices in the UK and across the world and now with what orange face is doing to the world financial markets we are all heading for an even bigger dip in sales. I literally cannot get any lower I don't think.
Today though, a nice wake up of a purchase of over 40 magazines which is fantastic UNTIL you realise the buyer is from the USA, has 3 feedback, been a member for a few years and last made a purchase over 6 months ago. Total price for them, over £700 and you just know already that they are not going to be interested in paying, bought magazines mixed in with global shipping purchases, not queried anything, not paid for anything.
Have messaged them to say it will be better and more cost-effective to put it in one lot and use Global Shipping, it is one of those moments where you find typing a message hard knowing they will barely read it, let alone reply.
Yet another hopeless moment of my career on this dwindling platform and of course, I have the wonderful wait of days until eBay will do anything to allow me to relist the magazines.
I just wanted sales to survive, it is my only income and it is incredibly frustrating people still take the p***.
