Suddenly not getting any purchases for past 10+ days on my seller account?!!#??

[t57460]

My average sales per month is around 40-60 sales. However all of a sudden I'm not getting any new sales for the past 10+ days or so. Its all come to a stop!!! Why? My performance is ok, there are no restrictions placed on my account. I have around 500 items for sale on my seller account. Daily views are the same,  if not higher. So why this sudden pause??? Can anyone help me? Has anyone else experienced the same?

You have 460 new items for sale. including some multiples, but you are selling on a private account with a 'no returns' policy.

The introduction of the Buyers Protection Fee has helped buyers to identify business sellers and those trading unlawfully on private accounts.  This is bound to have an impact on some sellers as buyers become more aware and perhaps more careful where they spend their hard-earned money.

By the way, I declare my sales to HMRC anyway.

Suggest you read this, if you are declaring your sales to the relevant authorities then you need to ensure your ship is in order here too on ebay.

That's good.

However, you are not trading lawfully.

If you were properly registered as a business seller on Ebay, with a business account rather than a private account, you would have to display your trading name and address on your sales and you would need an 'any reason' returns policy to comply with The Consumer Rights Act.
