I think I boobed up over the weekend. Split my listings between Artificial Flowers (57 Listings) and Home Fragranced (23 Listings) I also took some listings of Home Furniture (14 Listings)

How many Auction listings do you think I should have to get a decent amount of traffic. I was running at a 10/90 ratio but iv cut it to 5/90 and nothing is shifting lol!

Should I try 15/90 or even 20/90

I don't list in your categories - mine are mainly in equestrian listings but for what it's worth, ebay has completely died since last week.

All this year and last I have had a constant flow of orders, sometimes only 1 or 2 a day (for a standard item on BIN) but always something, October was slow and early November too, but haven't had a single nibble since last Thursday:mad: .

Not worth having a listing on at all at the moment.

Are people feeling really hard up? My local sub post offices and village stores are reporting the same - a real slow down.:eek:

I also do not list in your categories but my listings appear to be doing well. Sold a couple of items today on a BIN with best offer and only a few pence off the advertised price, and one person just BIn'd the item and didn't even offer. I get worried if I don't have a sell through rate of approx 75-80%, and sometimes I even achieve near the perfect 100%, although those days are getting rare.

Last month I re opened an old selling id and sold absolutely nothing, I was gutted, all those fees went to waste. However it turned out that for some reason Turbo lister had removed the paypal option so I was listing with just cheques and that has never been good for me.

If your sales are performing poorly against those of your competitors then look to see where there may be differences, do they do anything that you don't, are your prices competitive and is your post and packing in line with other sellers?

Iv managed to sell today, only 1 item but iv added more listings so well see what happens.

Ebay has quietened down a bit.
