What has happened to Ebay ?

Again, re-listed for 10 days. I have covered everything and hours to go with no sales. Again, lots of watchers. It doesn't make sense that I should go from sales to no sales in a matter of weeks when I have been selling these badges for almost 10 years consistently. I haven't introduced anything different. I have improved my photos and descriptions. People with the SAME items and HIGHER prices are still making sales. It hasn't been gradual, it's been a dramatic shift which tells me it isn't natural trends. I would understand if I was selling Jimmy Saville signed photos or something but I have built up a good small business and many buyers have known me to be prompt, honest and still have my 100% feedback.

It's so depressing because I can't put my finger on what it is :-(

Well they came back all unsold bar one. I no longer can afford the forfeit the cost of listing an item that doesn't sell anymore. This time of year used to be crazy sales for me. Time to look elsewhere.

Its actually picked up for me. I sell trainers from time to time from my own collection. Sold three pairs in the last week that didnt sell for the previous two free listing weekends! £45, £40 and £73 (unsold) then sold this last week for £50, £65 and £92!!

Free listing weekends are a bit of a pain though - many more listings, equals many more options to pick from. When options are more limited, buyers tend to pay more.
