All I came here for, was to find out if there was something going on with ebay. That's all. It's in my title even. "anyone else?". Because that's the one thing I can't figure out on my own. I need to know if anyone else if having the same issue. If not, THEN I know it's me, and there's something I could do about it. Otherwise, all the effort in the world isn't going to help

I'd try to spread out into other accounts if I were you to get that number up and provide redundancy.

Kirkland: 'velocity limit' is the idea that EB, AZ, and other sites throttle ( ie secretly limit ) your sales to a certain number. james13v is saying his secret limit is around 10K.

Usually this means no matter what you do, you cannot exceed that threshold by very much, if anything.

In other words, if by some freak of chance he sells 10K on the first day of the month, nothing will sell the rest of the month, they'll do that by limiting visibility and promoting other sellers instead of him.

EB has a lot of sellers, and a limited amount of buyers. If you never sell anything, you give up and go away, right?

EB is trying to give everybody a slice of an ever-shrinking pie so that there isn't a mass exodus of sellers from the site.

I noticed that when i would log in on some accts to do admin work, answer a few questions, it seemed to generate more traffic and sales to the page while im logged in. Didnt take long but, i began to realize that being logged in helped with my sales too.
