I’ve been selling on eBay (seriously) coming up to a year now. Switched to a business account towards the end of 2024, sales last summer were booming, I was doing great! This year I’ve not even made £2000 in sales. I’m listing x 3 per day. I’m now ending and re listing everything too, making small changes each time to try and get the algorithm to catch me again. I cannot understand why I’m getting basically no sales!!
Anyone in a similar situation? I’ve made more on Vinted this year than I have EBay. Am thinking of just moving everything there… any thoughts welcome!

If others are like me, then I’m avoiding buying anything on eBay at the moment.
Why would I want to pay a buyers tax of 4% + 75p ?

He's a business so no BPF

I was just reading up on this and thought buyers tax was only on private selling accounts. Mine is a business account so doesn’t have that (I’d heard nothing of it until looking through posts here today)

She, but thank you I thought that was the case!

Apologies wrong assumption

So as a buyer you have to check if who you are buying from is a private seller or business seller first to avoid them buyers tax …..
Or simply buy from elsewhere where you don’t have to.

It is in the item view, listing itself, it was removed for a very short will but is back now. But you can usually tell from the price they will just look odd.

Is it this account as having trouble viewing it at moment and feedback page not loading either
just so i can see what your selling that may have something to do with lack of sales.

Thanks, yes it’s this account! Let me know once you’ve had a look 👍

Just for context, I’ve scaled back my listings from around 200 items as I put lots of them on Vinted due to getting no sales on eBay! So maybe that has contributed? Maybe I just need more items, but I’m reluctant when they’re not shifting!

Absolutely nothing showing on this account in sales, sold or feedback ??

I'm also seeing nothing for sale (the listings link goes to "kellymariet_123")
04-04-2025 3:09 PM
I guess I need to contact eBay in that case! Can you search me to find listings that why? I’m concerned now…

I have recently changed the account name but it should be showing my listings. I’m still getting views and favourites but that is worrying! Thanks for letting me know
04-04-2025 3:10 PM
Both @moldosgifts or I can see anything. I would call CS straight away.
Let us know how you get on.
04-04-2025 3:11 PM
Thanks so much, will do!
