I have seen reports by a lot of big sellers that their listings have been pushed down and their sales have dropped 80% overnight. Seems eBay made some algorithm changes recently which is affecting some sellers. Hold tight. I feel as things will rebound soon.
What is going on this weekend? My sales are being cut in half suddenly on every account I run...and I have been adding a bunch more stuff over the last few days.
Not sure how that is relevant. Each account is completely unrelated to each other and had a 4 month+ track record of sales percentage based on number of listings. All three have suddenly hit the skids this weekend.
I'm guessing that there is less overall traffic/exposure on the entire Ebay site somehow.
I have recently come back to eBay, been selling in other places - amazon, etsy, aswell as building my own websites. I am still selling in all these other places but kept forgetting to add ebay, I have been back around a month and I am finding sales to be pretty good - margins not as good for some items but still getting good sales, none the less. I find that I you have to keep adapting and updating in order to stay on top. Keep working hard
You are right I should have invested more time into branding. I see my competition has survived but they aren’t doing the same numbers they were just a few years ago. I noticed they lowered their prices so that could also be one of the reasons why they are still doing okay but not great. My products aren’t outdated, in fact we both purchase products from the same factory l. The only difference is their listings are a lot more appealing. They standout because they age strong brand presence so that gives them some advantage.
Sounds like you figured it out. If there are other people selling the same product for cheaper than you, with better listings, and better selling history. Then why would anyone buy from you? The first part of fixing a problem is realizing there is one. So until you stop making excuses, it will never change.
