eBay sales fell off a cliff

[Jbenn26]

Recently eBay sales have fell off a cliff I was getting 5-6k a month for years the past 3 weeks since they have changed all the item description stuff I've got maybe 200$ combined in 3 weeks and most of that is now being lost to item not received cases which I've had 7 in week. People aren't paying for their offers anymore as well. I'm not sure if anyone else is having these issues but it's been brutal lately.

Did you update all your listings? Sales were real slow for me right after the format changed. Didn’t have a chance to update all of my listings (~450) until last Saturday. I’ve been getting a lot of sales this week. I’d suggest taking the time to update them all if you haven’t.

I think he means add the item specifics - eBay is going to require sport and graded (yes/no) coming up.

Exactly. Doesn’t hurt to choose as many as you can to get more views.

I went thru and updated over 1500 items and my sales have picked back up.

I filled out all the required ones now through bulk edit now for the fun part of filling out the 6-7 suggested ones, I like how it asks if it's graded you put no and it still suggests you fill In a grade

So I looked at last years sales for the holiday weekend and the last weekend of the month to compare with this weekend. Having gone thru the debacle of the 11th and relisting and organizing over 1500 listings my sales since Thursday night thru tonight are more than double those two weekends combined. with an average of $200 + a day.

My sales this week are at 1/4 of what I’ve been used to and my returns are at a record high. I’ve realized I’ve got to ride the wave. It’s my turn to take one for the team and eat that crap sandwich eBay gave me. Then I get to enjoy many months of normalcy. Though not gonna lie when it happens a little part of me always doubts it’ll go back to normal and I panic how long it’s going to last.

I feel ya I'm trying to fix 2200+ ads, item not received cases at an all-time high for me and on top of that I refund people and now I'm getting negatives, I really wish the boom hadn't happened I was doing better before it did to be honest

My item not received cases are also at an all time high. I had to refund 2 Saturday after both had been missing for over a month. Today they both showed movement in tracking.

Its summer, people are not couped up like they were last year. Nearly every seller normally sees a drop in online sales from about May to August. Last year was not a typical year and its really hard to compare it to now.

Sales still going strong here. Since the 2 week debacle after the 11th of May may sales have more than doubled and mail outs have increased. I need to get busy listing as I am having trouble keeping up. I guess thats not a bad thing. lol

Mine are about half what they were this time last year for me but up from 2019. I did 13k in sales last may. So that was way above normal

[jamcas997]

Mail outs last month average were 9 a day and 17 a day this month. 65% of sales are SE and 35% have been BBL mailer and Priority with $3,000 done.
