The community is flooded with messages about drop in sales suddenly from March, to April and now May.
This is occuring in multiple niches.
The issue is confined to Ebay - many individuals, including myself, are seeing steady if not growing sales from other platforms when Ebay is in decline.
Can you please confirm if there has been some sort of algorithm update to the search function recently?
Google provides announcements to search algorithms in the interests of transparency, it is in Ebays best interests to do the same to enable sellers to adapt to any changes made and prevent a sudden and unpredictable drop in revenue.
It is also in the best interests to announce any changes made to avoid unecessary speculation and conspiracy theories circling around online.
Thanks for your question, vintagewatchpart.
No, no changes have been made that would impact your sales. Think about it this way, the more you sell, the more money you and eBay earn. So, we would never introduce an update or change anything that could reduce your sales or other sellers sales.
I understand that times now could be tougher than before, but our goal as a company is to help sellers sell more, as it is beneficial for both you as a seller and us as a company. If anything, we will come up with updates/changes that help you boost your sales, like the roadshow for example, where we help sellers with listings optimization or best practices for sellers which would help you with visibility and similar things like this.
Thank you,
Marco
