Default drop in sales

Is it just me, or has anyone had slow sales today and yesterday? Is this a usual occurrence on 22nd/23rd Dec because of Xmas and postage times?

Yes it's usual, and the day of and day after Christmas sometimes picks up because of people not getting what they wanted.. That being said, this has been my worst year in all of my business. Niche i sell in, people at home don't use it as much

Hi guys... Found out about this forum just recently, I'm not a seller but I want to find out about stealth anyway....

Anyway, just one question please, are you all doing dropshiping or what?

Guess you are not selling drugs )), just wondering why you need "stealth"....

All the best and wishing you a successful new year!!!
