Sales tanked after UK election
 

Leading up to the UK election I had three weeks of almost everyday selling at least 4 items (these are high prices items so 4 sales is not bad) just a few days ago I sold 9 items in one day.

On election day (this thur just gone, june 8th) I sold 1 item, then today so far none.

Funny, the British election didn't have much of an effect here in the US... :)

EB probably just turned off your tap for the month when you reached your velocity limit.

Its highly unlikely that the election is to blame for a drop in Ebay sales.


Tesco hasnt gone bust yet :d

I havent listed any new items of late, I notice when I list more items all of a sudden things pick up again on all listings. Its weird. But yeah, ebay throttling maybe too

eBay Throttling..

Best thing to do is spread out sales over more accounts.

Get to work. :thumb:

New listings seem to increase your number of hits. Relisting, not so much. :)

wow really? i never knew such thing...holy sh!T.....no wonder why my sales have dropped tremendously... >.<

Re: Sales tanked after UK election
 

Sales have picked up now, knock on wood.

Seems like the UK election did have an impact on my sales, election day and the day after were flat. Yesterday sold 5 and today sold 5.

It wasn't the Election, it was Russia they hacked your Ebay account ;)

I think it's so interesting to see what world events can affect your sales. On US eBay I've found that weather events affect sales. On Amazon, it seems to be political events.
