    Last weekend was really busy for me but as for this weekend really quiet. I am told the 20th of the month is when people tend to be in debt money just before they get paid so lets hope next weekend brings on a boom!

    Perhaps it's due to the weather a lot of people are having.

    It is a buyers market out there at the moment - eBay page views are at their lowest in about 3 years, and even quieter than the new year lulls.

    Not seen any TV ad's for ebay recenetly either but I know they have just changed their ad agency so that's probably a factor.

    Hi Steve 8975,
    This last week or so Ebay have been advertising in the cinemas, the ad is quite catchy so who knows ! might drum up some fresh business, i've hardly sold anytime in the last week & what i did sell wasn't worth the effort :mad: :mad:
  • I've been finding it quiet too. This Sunday was 10 days after the cheap listing day so there would be lots more listings than usual and probably only a few more customers. I sold 4 out of 7 Sunday-finishing items.

    With half the country under water and the other half trying to get away on holiday - not really surprising that it's dead.
    It's the first weekend in 3 months that my best seller hasn't sold at all , usually sell 3 or more in a weekend (£80 item).
