Sales Are Down to ZERO or Slow Jun 2025 -EBay Help!

[theglo-68]

Hello everyone, how are you doing? 

There has been a downward trend in our sales from start of June 2025. Now end of June and we are now looking at Zero sales per day.

I see many sellers are facing slow sales right now—it’s really difficult, especially when you have to pay for warehouse rent and other expenses.

In my case, I have almost 500 listings and only get less than 10 sales per day -  these are low value items. Before I used to get 25-30 sales daily, so this is a big problem.

Because of this, I am thinking of canceling my monthly subscription and keeping only 200 listings to save money.

Thank you.

My last sale was June 4th. I've had nothing since. There has been a massive drop in sales these past few weeks and I'm not sure why. The changes that eBay have made to sellers isn't exactly fair and I think this is having an impact on the sales. It won't be long before eBay realise they are losing their sellers left, right and centre and hopefully will do something about it.

You wouldn't save any money doing that. The break-even point for a basic shop is 90 (BIN) listings; at 90 listings you pay the same whether you have a shop or not i.e. £27.00 + VAT (£32.40). Without a basic shop subscription you would be paying (200 x 30p) + VAT; i.e. £72.00 in listing fees.

In over 21 years of selling I've never had a month where sales haven't covered ebay's costs - until May this year. Now June has followed suit. Time to take a couple of days off - the weather is good and the beaches down here are calling.

You create a thread like this every month. Perhaps you need to put a bit more effort into selling stuff. It's clear from your own posts that your sales have been dreadful for ages. Maybe take a look at the root causes.

Is your pricing right?

Are you selling the same stuff as everyone else and thus competing for sales with lots of people?

Is your seller account in good standing?

Are your listings coherent and well presented with good photos?

Do you have any VeRO strikes?

Is your stuff actually worth buying?

Have you moved with the times or are you still selling exactly what you were selling fifteen years ago?

If it's not one of these then it will be something else.

So many things can ruin sales which we can't see because you are posting this from an account with no listings. I'm to criticising that, we just can't offer tips to our fellow eBayer. This is my personal eBay account, It's not either of my two work accounts.

What isn't the problem is that "Nobody is buying anything on eBay". People are clearly buying a lot on eBay. They're just not buying it from you. Try and figure out what you need to change to become profitable again.

Nobody ever sold a single additional item by asking "Are sales dead <insert relevant date here>?" There's no reason to think your duplicate posts asking that will ever help your sales.

I posted this on one of you many previous threads like this. Same still applies.

I had a great start to June, almost hit my target in the first 2 weeks.

One of my shops averages 4-5 orders a day....in the 3rd week of June - it sold 1 item in a week & in the 4th week it sold 2 items.... It should have sold 60-65 items, but it only sold 3. Now that July has hit, It's back to normal. I've had a great day today (1st). Make of that, what you will.

I had 2 messages from potential customers saying there was an error on the app. Said it couldn't complete on the app, to add to basket and use the webpage or another device.

We originally started our business on eBay, so it is a special place for us here...

However I hate to say that the last few month our amazon fbm sales now exceed eBay's sales by 10%, the Amazon fees including ads are lower as a % of gross sales and our own simple wordpress/woocommerce now takes 1/3rd of the gross sales we do on ebay using google merchant center and a campagin based around 20% of the website sales (approx same as amazon / ebay fees).

I'm sure if we listed everything on Amazon we could increase sales significantly there too.

We're planning for a future where eBay takes a smaller and smaller percentage of our overall sales.

 Of course, it would be lovely if eBay sales rocketed and fees didn't rise, but that is not the trend.

I think for sellers of small or rare used items eBay still rules, for larger items it's FB Marketplace
