Has Ebay gone dead for anyone else?

For days now. If it carries on like this I might as well shut up shop at the end of the month, no point paying fees for nothing.

    I think it goes quite around this time each year, i have shut up shop for a few weeks.
  • Yes, it's quite but I've found it's usual in my marketplace this time of year.

    My bits and bobs are as busy as ever, if not more so since the sun went away. Lots going overseas at the mo - no particular type of item , few books that have been hanging around for ages, toys and household surplus.

    Still b***** all here. I'll start adding up over the next couple of weeks, see if I'm losing money keeping it open.

    I'm just a private seller having a massive wardrobe clearout. I've listed loads of summer holiday type clothes over the last few weeks and have been pleasantly surprised by how much interest my items have and some of the prices things have been going for.

    That said, I've just a few auctions end tonight that are a little disappointing but yesterday and day before were very good.
  • Hit and miss with me. A good run last week, selling quite a bit, but this weeks auctions aren't totalling much. That said, I do have a fair amount lined up on my 10 day auctions for the middle of next week.

    After a totally bonkers few weeks it has ground to a halt almost totally. :( Good for buying though :D
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    I don't do a lot on there bits now and then, they are greedy but no alternative. I seem to remember that it goes quiet now especially if the suns out, may be not for every one??.
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I need presents for my DD who is turning 7 and can't really find anything on ebay!

    Try ebid.net. Not the widest selection as yet but there's a lot of reasonable priced shops. Or Etsy has lovely stuff, if her birthday is pretty soon though you will have to search for UK sellers specifically, a lot of them are American.
