No sales at all, for around a month

I am barely getting any sales atm. When i do, i get a sale less than £20. My numbers in seller performance, have dropped off a cliff. Admittedly i am not posting as much, but that is because nobody is buying. Ebay is the online selling platform i know. Where when you call Customer service, They go, " well tbh pal, i have NO IDEA why your sales, have dropped of a cliff.' Try this, try that.' instead of just telling you, the problem. Well, it could be this, could be that, is absolutely no good, for me. I wonder, what kind of business model it is, where i am having so little sales, i doubt is it worth even listing. If i call for support, they can't tell me, because they themselves, can't say why. I am expected to behave like Columbo and get to the crux. No wonder, people are leaving. Yes, i know ni am a private seller. But it has to be worth the effort. Also i got a second transaction defect, because i guy bought something, but told me to delay payment as he works away from home. When i did, they gave me my second transaction defect. That, was after informing eBay. They won't take it off and i feel it has been on there, way longer than is even fair. It's almost like eBay has become an elite club, where only there top earners, can sell. Which is up to eBay. But, at the very least, Be HONEST if this, is the case.

Firstly you have some truly lovely varied items,  the photographs and descriptions are great.   I have put you as a saved seller to have a good look through when I have some time ! 🤗

 

Why do sales suddenly stop, it's the b$64,000 question and I'm sure all sellers experience this.  However,  transaction defects may affect your items visibility?  It is annoying when buyers ask for a delayed posting of an item, best way forward here is to cancel the order,  with the buyer's permission,  and relist when they are home for delivery, otherwise the outcome is,  as you have found a defect which can affect your sales.

 

Hopefully, with Christmas round the corner,  your lovely items will pick up.

Somebody reported me to eBay for having a banned item, too. Just not my day, i think. This was the  bone and ebonised wood, dominoes, which has been on there for months.  I was sure, is legal. Ivory, no. Ebony, no. But black painted wood and bone, i though was legit to sell. I am sure i have seen the exact same kind, on eBay, too. Thinking of telling my friends i can't help anymore and shutting down this account. TY

Nooo, don't do that,  don't let one disgruntled member who reported  you,  and  the AI ' agent' reacting,  put a stop to you listing as I said,  lovely items.

 

Selling is hard,  it's only because you are a conscientious seller, that this is affecting you!  A hard shell is needed to wear when selling, and not always possible for some! 🤗

 

What do they say?....   Keep Calm and Carry On !
