I'm down 38% from last month, which is insanity. I have been watching statistics for years and never had a decline from September to October. Now down 38%! Plus down 50% from last year and I have 4x more inventory.

This weekend I got a slight uptick in sales because I did some advertising and upped my social media presence. Also, I pay someone to do my social media work which has added a boost.

Someone mentioned Bonanza and it works only if you opt into all the traffic. I do about 10-15% of number of sales as ebay, however fees are cheaper and I get more margin so it helps.

My expertise is not so good for Amazon, so I'm sourcing for a good distributor and have some ideas.

Just got started with Walmart so Cant say yet how that's gonna go...

Feeling the pain my friend. In my about 12 years of eBay. This is about as bad as it has been. Plus Amazon keeps handing out brand restrictions so it like a double whammy.

Yeah ok, I believe you. My first thought was gopro's until I saw the size comments. What else comes in a "size 8.5" and a "size 9 mens and receipt if possible", and is also profitable enough to make a seller arrogant?

I don't care either which way. If you're that ballsy you ought to look into goophones, lol. I'd be weary of the 230 feedback guy. Looks like he realized you have an auto accept price and emptied out his PP.

Jackery · #33 10-27-2016

LOL they're not shoes dude

Had a proportional slowdown in September. It seems things are slowly easing back up like they should, and they are erasing the loses almost to the percentage point. Although, I do not deal in high value items. More in the <100 dollar range.

lol I sell autoparts and my sales are consistant everyday... but you need a 2000ft warehouse with 5000 parts minimum to stay a float... im parting out 5 cars as we speak chop shops baby always make it...

I also sell other things priced exactly the same as jackerys.... but better not say

Dude asked for a size 9 mens, so that rules out dresses. The only things I know of which have different sizing for men and women and also come in half sizes are hats and shoes. Hats just aren't that profitable...

It could be rings, made with some of that fools gold,lol. Shoes seem more plausible though.

Well the more economy problems worldwide people have, the more less sales every year there will be, you can't expect forever to be beautiful and lovely. It's just the way it is. Sucks, but that's why it's good to invest in alot of things, invent something new, or just do something different. Goodluck, it's a risky world for everything even just living is risky you could die today, tommorrow, whenever.
