I tried that, but got no bite. I went trough two weeks of just trying everything at break even cost which is still way below market value, but these idiots just want that bullsh1t 0.01cent garbage.

I have that problem too. I think next week I might just cut back on sales and wait a few weeks.

[imjustme]

I just noticed, eBay is running a special of 100,000 free auction listings from April 20 - April 29, that's likely the reason why sales are slow. eBay is basically swamped with that huge amount of listings.

I already used up my 100,000! lol

[exxomscp]

Same, things are sort of slow and sluggish, but we're getting by little by little..

I've also had an extreme amount of cancellations, 3 in one week.

Well this month has been hell. 20% of sales only and triple the amount of buyers remorse who makes excuses trying to blame me instead.

I'm starting to feel really angry .

[100HRWEEK]

Let's recap April:

1. March was soft, had left over inventory for April which should had been all sold in March.
2. Started April with 7 day Suspension (One Week Gone)
3. Remaining 3 weeks, were super slow
4. Sold 2-3 big items (Decent Profit to Keep vs the Burn & Churn $1 joke profits)
5. All said big item buyers want the items returned.
6. Got a few RED Negative feedback from the (Burn & Churn $1 profit items).
7. Got a 30 day suspension, pushing all the way to May
8. Pending open cases as usual
9. Can't add in any new inventory
10. Loved April

Im always same 2,500 weekly. Thats what i list. Spend 1 day a week on ebay. 1 Day auctions or buy it now. Both always end in 24 hours or less selling about 23 to 26 of the same thing. I could list more and more but like 6 days off to spend with my son. Being single dad of 3 year old eats up time. Lol

Next month i will double up in sales
Theres a few needy families i draw from a hat, through "Helping Hands" with needy children and will help and donate near 5,000 for the month buying their food and toys and such for their kids. I do that 2 times a year. Thats when i really put in a few extra days to help out

Good luck to everyone and hope for those of you struggling things turn around 10 fold for you

Thanks

I usually end the month without 2-4% that are nonpaying buyers. This month looks like closer to 15%. I still have some open cases for nonpayment and other that havent opened yet but it might be close to 15% nonpaying this month. wow, I remember, last year wasnt this bad and I was selling the same things from last year.

[O.Michaels]

wow, amazing.

...pretty good, not to mention the fact that my PayPal got limited!

Nice Dunersdunes - I do the same but not from my sales. Nice to see happy faces - 1 time for needy families with children - another time for the local shelter for adults - 3rd time for a very sick ward of a children's hospital.

[Dunersdunes]

Cool deal rsot. Good to hear. Great to see others willing to help out. Keep up the great work.
