 Re: Did anyone notice a drop in sales 1st week of Feb?
My sales have been slower in previous years but inventory has been better. February up until this weekend compared to the past 4 or so years has been good to me.
I do sell some oddball stuff. Items that are somewhat for specific markets.
I will say eBay was not a crazy garage sale like it was when I first started 10 years ago. Was like printing money. But things are what they are. I wish I could say my sales were going to Amazon or some other site. But the majority of what I sell isn't on Amazon on it is terribly listed on Amazon.
So I don't know. But having talked to Sandy D who is the Queen Cleopatra ruler of stealth eBay in my opinion. Us long term sellers have had to change our business practices drastically to account for just the change in regulations, traffic and everything else.
I will say it lots of people who weren't on eBay in 2002 to about 2005 maybe 2007 when it was mostly a community of small individual sellers might disagree. But the days of the small guy. Are basically over on eBay.
