No Sales in March 2025 - What happened to our once best selling platform

[theglo-68]

We have noticed a sudden decline in sales and since last week we are on Zero.

Has anyone else noticed this issue and is this related to any new changes by Ebay.

What happened to our once best selling platform.

Promoted listings is a waste of time and money (your money.)

Far better to just refresh your listings every few weeks (using the 'sell similar option) and completely do away with promotions of any kind.

Do you think this is an effective way of having listings appear ?

Well said.  I have had no sales for weeks again and then only two or three.  Ebay needs to get some

clever people on it right now!  I like your idea of saying "Free to buy on Ebay" that's a good slogan I think.

I mean who thinks Buyer Protection changes anything for buyers? I have been selling on ebay for over twenty

years and had built up good customers who knew I was an honest and reliable seller - they have now

melted away as have many repeat buyers.  Ebay needs to do something and quickly to turn this situation around.

Ebay won't do anything and if they do it certainly wont be quick!  It took them months to change a simple delivery / buyer protection charge.  They then made it out like 'oh look we've listerned to what people have said'....

There has been many people raise the same points in weekly chats, everyone noticing decline in sales, ebay money grabbing more in fee increases, buyer protection and now promoted listing change which basically just makes ebay more money.  Ebay won't listern to long time users who know the platform better than their own support team.

I sympathise with you.  Since the Buyer Protection came in I have had hardly any sales at all.  I paid the extra to so -call- promote my sales, still none!  Waste of money!  Advised by some ebay lackey to get a business account- I am a small private seller and cannot afford the fees in the hope that things might change.  My friend advised me not to change my account as she had done so and still no sales!  It seems that now ebay don't want small private sellers who used to sell regularly - exquisite and beautiful items.  There's loads of cheap trash from China and India which seems to be the new ebay.  I'm just waiting to clear my stock before 

packing it in after over twenty years.

Ebay has made it increasingly difficult to purchase items with registered cards being blocked, only allowing purchases with Google Pay, and constantly referring more and more to USA based sellers when searching.
