Your username is the exact reason why I'm killing myself trying to make this happen. I'm looking to buy a 997 Carrera S. You are absolutely right, something I knew since I was ordering parts, but totally have forgotten recently. However, a few VERO emails and a 7 day suspension didn't help this month either. Probably after this batch, I'll stop with these stuff. Great items to build up feedback and make a little tiny amount of profit, but it's no longer worth it. People really penny search, and one or two defective item can ruin 200-300 nice feedbacks.

auction sales are on a low for me, seems like the BINS are on the rise, BINS suck, Ill guess ill have to get in a market with BINS

[golden_monkey]

no you just wait out the slow period.....

maybe this is why eb4y is giving out 200,000 free listing this week cause i'd damn sure be listing the min amount at this slow sucky sales rate. im relisting as many items as my normal daily totals.

for the 1st time ever I didn't have to go out last weekend and hunt down more stock......which is not good, normally by thrusday im running on empty.

april sucks balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im counting the days till its over

With less than 10 days left, so far I'm exactly 50% less than last month in gross sales. I don't even wanna start doing the calculation on the Net which I think will probably be peanuts.

Yea but that's just how sales go. Unless u monitor what u did in April 2012,2011,,etc.. you can't get a clear picture of how consistent ur sales are. On top of that with 10 days left, all it takes is a big sales day to be back on track

[imjustme]

Beginning of the month was great. In the past 5-7 days it has slowed down a lot for me.

[100HRWEEK]

Wow, Monday was ok, Tuesday & Wednesday are turning to be big busts for me. A big holiday for Chinese sellers are coming up which should be 5-6 days, however I'm not seeing any boost in sales so far.

[yungsc1005]

Very slow these past few days thats including Amazon. On top of all that, I've had TWO buyers with ZERO feedbacks not paying for the merchandise.

[SaiJin]

Honestly I want to stop selling in April and Summer. too many troll buyers for too little sales.

What holiday? They had New Year or whatever the middle of Feb. and just finished tombsweeper. Yeah they told me toombsweeper. They have weeks of holidays. All I can say as Chinese know how to party. LOL

Had that last week. This idiot with 0 feedback put a crazy bid on one of my items 5 minute before ending. Other real sellers kept trying to win the item with legit buys, but this idiot's price was so high, they got outbid. I already knew, they wouldn't pay. Long story short, 14 days later, and still no payment. Opened up a "No Payment" claim but what's that gonna do.

I hear you. Every time I drop off items at the post office, I pray that I don't get some message with one of these a55hole buyers with a "made up" problem. When a messages inside my eBay account light up, my heart starts racing.

My vendor from Ali asked me if I was excited. I asked, excited about what? He said the Chinese have some sort of holiday coming up and all the Chinese sellers will pull out of eBay for 7 days. Not sure if it already happened, or it'll be happening next week.

c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnn its sales, you'll have ****ty times.

ups and downs.. plan for them.. expect them!!!!!!!!

[imjustme]

Everyone's sales still slow? I sell Women's Clothing right now and sales have been almost dead starting from the middle of this month. I have 50 watchers on newly listed products within a day but no sales, where normally I get 10-20 sales per day.

[yotano211]

My are going along ok, not bad but just ok. Prices seem to be about 10-15% below average on auctions.

Same here, I used to have 25 things needing to be shipped every night constantly and bringing in $300-$400 a night. However right now, it's down to 4-5 items. Garbage. I'm wasting more time with eBay with problems and customers wanting refunds after they have used the item for 30 days or more.

I stopped using Auction, too much monitoring, since the market is so soft. Before, I knew I would still break even. However now, I have to monitor each item at auction to make sure I don't end up taking losses.

[yotano211]

its why i start my auctions at a higher price.
