July Sales non-existent - What is going on

[theglo-68]

We have all good selling items and none of them are selling in July. Has there been a recent change in Ebay as its a complete STOP- No sales for over a week now and its been so hard to manage all fees already. 

Has anyone else noticed this same issue wit ebay sales down in July please share your findings.

You know, repeating the same thing again and again and again does not help anyone.

If you want to talk about what you have posted pretty much every month, then use one of those threads.

Or do you think that your going to get different answers?
If you posted with your own selling profile, you would actually get more help.

Looking back at your previous posts, I can see you have posted the same comment every single month since last September, with the exception of December.

Either you're at the wind-up, just stirring, or you really aren't trying.

Unless we can see your listings, we really can't help. However, I am struggling to understand how you can have "all good selling items", yet have sold nothing in ten of the last eleven months. It doesn't really add up.

This time last year I earned £1,000 per month now it’s at £2000 up till today. 
there’s got to be something wrong somewhere I’ve tweaked my listings.

There are multiple threads on this issue but yes sales are dead but for us it is on Amazon as well so not confined just to eBay. There are a multitude of things going on with the state of the UK as you will be aware and that’s having a massive impact on people’s spending habits

When the likes of Poundland are struggling and closing shops and Primark are cutting jobs and paying for advertising you know the economy is in a bad way and people are cutting back. Plus the weather is lovely and people are getting out rather than scrolling to buy things online.

It would help to know what you sell and see your listings as others have said if your looking for help/support/advice.

I think people either dont read the news or are just blase. Woke up this morning to see the UK economy has shrunk again for another consecutive month. I think its clear to see the UK is in recession but its not filtered through yet but may well do next month. Reeves crying the other week... do you believe it was personal matter? I very much doubt it. Macron came over for a nice glorious banquet the charlie and smarmer and went away laughing with his boat people plan. The UK is a laughing stock right now. Sorry to get political on here.

I know exactly how you feel and i personally think we have been in a recession for the last 6 months but it is being covered up by fiddling the numbers/ clever accounting. They don't want to admit the economy is shot to pieces and that her budget moves were very wrong for the economy.  The truth will out soon hopefully.

At least end July/ Augusts retail sales figures will be helped by parents buying school uniform 😁

Similar here. Total for YTD £1179. Used to do £800 to £1000 per month. Remember the rolling 90 day total we used to have, best ever was £3800. It's like a stop button was pressed somewhere a few months ago. I've got similar car parts listed that have always done quite well over 12+ years at good prices. Similar qty of listings. I'm doing what I've always done, so the problem isn't at this end.

I think a lot of people just don't understand why they have more month left at the end of their pay.  The freeze on Tax Allowances is insidious and is biting deeper every year it goes on.

I have / had more reliable sales elsewhere and the decline in sales started quite noticeably last year in April/May, after the Notices of Coding went out from HMRC. 

Sold 25 items to the end of May '24, only 3 more to the end of December.  This year 5 to date.  If you think the economy's bad now watch what happens if the freeze on allowances is extended yet again in October.

Same as every other month you post. this. 

Your entire contribution to this forum is ten posts. Nine of these posts is essentially a carbon copy of this post.

Very True

When I worked in tech support we used to wish for good weather on the weekends because people would go out and and do stuff rather than stay home and break their computers. 

Now the opposite is true. As a professional ecommerce seller I wish for miserable weather in the hope that people are bored and scrolling through stuff to buy.

its a sinking ship

I wouldn't be complaining if I could have 2500 listings for free and 100% of the sales costs.

[therenewalworkshopltd]

Wow, the cheek of it!

[cobwebcottage]

It gets worse!

I hadn't looked, but did see the post.  🙂

It's like one of the ones complaining about feedback being removed.

You can usually see why when you look at all the feedback that has been left by them.

And they must be the unluckiest buyer ever......

Economy bad

Merchant sad, sell fridge

My sales have almost stopped too. I am a Private Seller and I find that eBay has changed my listing's to Simple Delivery. In doing this they have removed my free postage offers. Also changed postal service, so that small letter rate has been withdrawn, and worryingly replaced with parcel rate. So no wonder sales are affected. I did have a sale yesterday which cost the buyer over £4. The price I stated was £1.20 with free postage.

This is a business seller forum   Please don’t come on here with your woe is me moans Private sellers get more perks than those who honestly present themselves as businesses  you clearly are a private seller appearing illegally to be a private seller. 
Business sellers do not in any way feel sorry for those who do not play by the rules so sympathy you will not get
