EBay is dead only one sale last week

[loveelectricals]

I know I shout grumble but for some reason I haven’t sold a bean in weeks when normally things fly off the shelves I’ve been with eBay over 20 years selling unwanted items now new but hit a dead pool of watchers and no sales some enquiries but still no sales. Is there something I’m doing wrong ? As not selling anything since they changed everything. And also cannot add additional photos when needed like measurements on existing posts like you were before the change to show updated photos of the item

Personally, I would not choose to buy from you.

The Buyer Protection Fee has perhaps made potential buyers look more closely at the status of the seller.

I would look at your items for sale and, from your name and your profile, I would expect you to be registered as a business seller with an 'any reason' returns policy.

If I was looking for an item like this one, Power Vibration Plate Vibrating Machine Platform Exercise Body Black Music, which is widely available, I would struggle to believe that a genuine private seller had multiples of such an item for sale and I would look for a properly registered business seller who clearly respected my rights under the Consumer Rights Act.

I can't see any of your listing - zero items. Plus I can't even see your feedback page, which I sometimes use to get to the view feedback page.

Is this your posting ID, or should you have items for sale showing?

[jckl1957]

It's a glitch - you can use 'advanced search' to find the seller's items and feedback.

Thank you.  I see what you mean.

How do you register to be a business because it’s a bit cut dry here  really just starting To be a business, I thought I just do private setting for now

I had to rush off when I posted before.

It is worth adding that you can have a business account and an additional private account for selling your own unwanted items.

I would suggest you upgrade this account to the business one so you can keep your feedback and current listings.

Ok thanks

If you haven't really thought through your business plan and researched it properly, before jumping to change to a business account you might want to check the fees ebay would charge, which are not the same as for your private account.

If you're not going to go gung-ho for really becoming a business, you might be better off withdrawing your 'new' items if they were bought to sell and just staying with selling only your own pre-owned stuff.
