Sales Are Too Slow Jun 2025 -

[fasyonet]

Hello everyone, how are you doing? I see many sellers are facing slow sales right now—it’s really difficult, especially when you have to pay for warehouse rent and other expenses.

In my case, I have almost 1,000 listings and only get less than 17 sales per day -  these are low value items. Before I used to get 150 sales daily, so this is a big problem.

Because of this, I am thinking of canceling my monthly subscription and keeping only 200 listings to save money.

Thank you.

What shop subscription level do you have? With the number of listings you have the best/cheapest subscription level would be a featured shop subscription. You would still need a basic shop subscription even with 200 listings as without a shop subscription you pay a listing fee for every item. The number of listings where a shop subscription becomes the more economically viable option is as follows:

• Basic shop: 90 listings: 90 x 30p = £27.00
• Featured shop: 140 listings: (140 - 90) x 10p = £50 (£77 - £27 = £50)
• Anchor shop: 8,700 listings (8,700 - 1,500) x 5p = £360.00 (£437.00 - £77.00 = £360.00)

This is why I don't envy business sellers who have put all their eggs in eBay's basket.

It seems to me that they are trying to kill off ebay.

As a private Seller people are not going to pay the supplement and now only Simple Delivery can be chosen which makes more money for ebay and costs more for the buyer because sellers usually have better postage rates or absorb some of the postage cost.  For low value items it is unfeasible. MAYBE THE BRAINS AT EBAY WILL WORK THIS OUT EVENTUALLY BUT IN THE MEANTIME THEY WILL LOSE MANY LOYAL PRIVATE SELLERS.

Maybe the brains at Ebay will also work out the business seller trading on private accounts.

That would improve the seller experience and give them more confidence to buy.
