As the title. Zero sales today. First time in 25 years selling on here. Something is seriously wrong on here. Anyone else? Will eBay ever come clean and tell sellers what actually gone wrong?

One sale today, £7.99, week started ok on Monday, but has died since, as usual, for the vast majority on here it's not a platform for the typical business, too unpredictable, ebay feels like its in a doom loop, not a day goes by without a lot of posts regarding lack of sales, and everyday seems to bring yet another glitch.

It's dire. Now into the second week of November and I'm normally crazy busy by now. And it's not 'just' the economy, my Etsy shop is flying.

Were you busy on ebay this time last year? I think people really have deserted the platform
08-11-2024 10:24 AM
I wasn't busy on here at all last year and had a really disappointing Christmas period. So this year I upgraded to a featured shop and quadrupled my listings over the last few months.
Although sales have improved marginally the numbers are still in the toilet and I have had several days with ZERO sales. Too many years of experience and loyalty on here count for zip. Ebay are currently making more than I am from my business and that can't be right.
If your face doesn't fit, you're not getting in.

Join the queue of seasoned sellers who have increasing numbers of zero sales days this year. In fact my sales days are becoming less than my non sales days. However. I have been ending all my listings tweaking them and sell similar and two of my sales this week have been from these refreshed listings. As I have quite a bit of time to do this at the moment I'm going to continue doing this to see if it continues to bring in more sales

Today I have noticed that my views have gone from a consistant 20k a day to 4k on Thursday and 0 today not sure that is going to help sales.
08-11-2024 11:13 AM
Same here. My views yesterday were half of the previous days and past month so something was definitely amiss yesterday dont you think. Question is what was it. Every single day past month views were over 30k yesterday they were 10k and today so far says ZERO views.
08-11-2024 11:16 AM
They updated the traffic stats yesterday and it has not been working since they did it, it was the same yesterday showing zero views then insufficient for the previous day, it seems there is a 24 hour+ delay in the impressions and views going onto the graph.

There does seem to be a lot of tinkering going on
I had the need to contact CS for another issue and mentioned in passing my concern with two 'no sale' days, the checked advised all OK, said they'd pass me to the 'specialist dept', who again advised TRS account all in good standing, complimented listings etc etc etc
They mentioned they were receiving calls of a similar ilk, and suggested it may be due to the beginning of the month and just be patient, pointed out the beginning of the month for the UK is often pay day period but thats all they could put it down to and reiterated, just be patient, your doing the right things.
Personally my Business Account pages and Private Account pages look different on some aspects so there is tinkering going on and Ive had an evening where I was asked to securit check with captcha every 5 minutes, so frustrating, I gave up.
Cards were dealt with, historically these periods happen, just have to crack on

Yes last November was pretty good.

20 years since American Idiot album came out, it said on the radio today 😭 makes me feel so old
08-11-2024 9:13 PM
Over 20 years here too, and surely you must have got the message by now ?
Promoted Listings ONLY - pay more to sell less.
Pay large fees now to subsidise private sellers.
It's over, we've both seen the good times on here and we both know they disappeared quite some time ago.
There is no atrraction whatsoever for a business on here anymore

Correct there is a lot tinkering going on.
Reported 4 sections not working this week that has been going on for 2 weeks.
Traffic now shows a completely different set up giving eBayers basic results that does not allow detailed results to be seen, makes me wonder why.
The Tech Dept. seem very slow in getting things working & eBay's CS fob off enquiries.

Last sale was 6.51pm on Thursday, at what point do you just jack this all in...................answers on a postcard.
09-11-2024 12:49 PM
My sales were pretty steady until the announcment of free selling for private sellers. Read into that what you will. As things stand Ill be ending my business by the end of the year. Thanks for 20+ years eBay!
09-11-2024 1:09 PM
We are jacking eBay in in the new year
09-11-2024 1:10 PM
No one is buying on here anymore. Fact. Temu and the likes have destroyed eBay
