My sales are zero, nothing for days now, after shop fees this week I'm left with £1.42. I have little confidence that this will change come the 7th, I'd absolutely love to be wrong but low engagement and sales sadly breed lower sales on here, and the testing they have done recently has proved disastrous for both... the damage is very much done. No amount of new listings, tinkering with existing, promoting, not promoting, new photos, optimisation etc have proved fruitful and at the moment they're being well and truly outperformed by their competition. Ebay has a lot of ground, for me, to make up but with dwindling buyers and poorly thought out beta testing, it couldn't really be a less attractive site for business performance right now.
There are a huge number of very similar subjects being discussed on the forums now, it makes very depressing reading, I hate to see so many sellers, myself included, becoming even more distrustful and disallusioned with eBay.
Interestingly, simultaneously with sales grinding to halt, and domestic sellers being undermined by ebay, the direct from China sites are sending invites to UK sellers in an attempt to attract them to become sellers on their sites. I've had invitations to live events, for zoom calls, and emails with no fee offers from three of the more well known players this week. While eBay push endlessly, products and sellers from sunny Shenzhen, the direct sites look to be pushing to attract their UK sellers and build their own global marketplaces. 🤔
I can honestly say as weird times go, this is certainly one of strangest.
