Good Afternoon

I haven't got a clue why you haven't sold anything for 12 days. Sales are sometimes classed as feast or famine. You are starving at the moment,that said you have had a good run recently.

Try offering something other than comics in other words mix it up a bit. Don't despair you will no doubt make a sale soon.

There's the law averages works in mysterious ways and there's no equation that says a certain amount of listings should = a certain amount of sales over so many days...however like you say with 600 promoted listings you have every right to be concerned and if the powers that be at Ebay had any business sense so should they.. It's up to Ebay how they run their business but surely a great business is where everyone is happy.

eBay sales have been declining for a long time, but now Simple Delivery has been introduced and made mandatory,alot of private sellers(myself included) have stopped listing item's, and also stopped using eBay to buy stuff because of Simple Delivery, alot of private sellers would sell items to get the money to buy things of eBay, and alot of people are furious about Simple Delivery & Buyer Protection Fee's, so it has a knock on effect with everything else.

3 sales only in the past 2 weeks absolutely dire to say the least - all my items promoted as well - ready for giving up now as fees and postage costs now taking most of my profit with so few sales.

After a quick look at your listings they all seem to be for similar things.  Collectables are as prone to the vagaries of fashion as anything else so it really is likely to be feast or famine for you.  At some point in the future the same things could well sell as fast as you could list them.

You could try ending some and re-listing them as that would get them to the top of the search if people are looking at Newly Listed first.

Oddly I sold something last night and another this afternoon both of which I'd given-up on shifting; one had hardly even been Viewed in the weeks it had been up.  You just have to wait for the right person, or people, to find your stuff.
