    I tried putting my sales up some time ago and t killed sales. As for not knowing if badges are selling, I look at other sellers who are selling for more money.

    Ebay always blame others for their own shortcomings.

    Meddling with the platform is the reason their revenue is down.
    Their revenue is up, it was their estimate that was down, which was blamed on the European market.

    So these other sellers are selling on Ebay?
    They are selling the same products at higher prices?
    Are they selling them in good quantities?
    Do you know if they are promoting them elsewhere?

    I know we sell some products at higher prices than they are available elsewhere but we promote via email, Facebook, Twitter, do you know your competition don't do that?

    All 30 odd private, varied item listings came back just now UNSOLD. This never used to happen. It's absolutely dire.

    Then it can only be your stock on your listings/account.

    My dry period last week suddenly ended, and I'm now back to the stage where I am running out of stock again and panicking as I can't get out to buy more stock at the moment.

    Nothing to do with stock. It's about Ebay not getting my listings seen like they used to. Again, all listings put up this weekend with not one bid or watch. It's terrible.

    We are going round in circles here- it can only be something wrong with your account.

    Things do seem to go up and down for me but the dry spells only last a few days. I can't pack my stuff fast enough at the moment.

    and yet 3 years on you're still listing and still complaining, got to be Ebay's fault then;)

    When it affects my private sales too which used to sell no problem my suspicions are with Ebay tinkering with the search engine. I have such a variety of goods for sale they all can't suddenly go out of favor with buyers. Other people here are also experiencing the same issues.

    I could re-list my business items but what's the point ? I will have to pay a seller fee for nowt. It will go down as more expenses in my accounts.
