Friday 6 sales, Saturday 7 sales, Sunday, 1 sale, Monday 0 sales, today 0 sales.
sunday and monday are normally my best days too. |
james13v | 10-15-2014 10:20 AM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 another day of no sales.
Nobody else? |
drewd96 | 10-15-2014 10:46 AM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 My sales have increased yesterday |
bjammin | 10-15-2014 01:39 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Lots of variables to consider.
Last week I was real slow, then sat & sun was booming! |

re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Depends on the market too |
aspkin | 10-15-2014 03:54 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Usually the 1st and the 15th are the best days of the month as most people get paid on those days.. Holidays are almost always slower. It's generally slower before Thanksgiving and then it ramps up until Christmas.. lots of variables. |
stanislav | 10-15-2014 04:56 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 My sales haven't been better since May. I don't know why everyone else is complaining ...
My sales are through the roof! |
shani1212 | 10-15-2014 05:27 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 My sales drop this month also..As above members have said " many factor involves in it. I guess this month is not a good month for me..Wish you guys all the best of luck... |
james13v | 10-15-2014 08:09 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 So I checked my sales from this time last year. The amount of sales I had were 30% of what my average months are at the moment. And that was with 5 times less listings for sale last year. October 2013 was actually damn good for me, especially considering how few items I had up at that time, by comparison.
I sell watch parts, which range from $20-160. So not expensive, and not a gift item, and something that people buy at any time of the year because they need to fix their watch.
I'm not seeing the variable that would make my sales fall to 90% from every other day the past 6 months. Something is going on. Perhaps people aren't seeing my listings anymore or something. I don't know. |

I agree with you, there is something going on with eBay, and listing visibility, I definetLy think it has glitches just like the rest of eBay and paypal .
Sometimes it seems like things are normal and sales are flying and other times it's like shut off, at first I thought maybe it was,all other variables , but there is too much of a variance that doesn't make sense
And the same items are flying on Amazon, and I'll have 3 good days on eBay than 5 days of nothing, just too strange to have 3 days in a row with 100 sales and the next 3 zero
Ebay is flawed right now , they need to correct things , just too many system glitches, so if everything else is glitchy I think the search is as well |
GhostWhoWalks | 10-15-2014 08:30 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Last month seen a huge amount in drops and some days I'd go without selling items on my main account and normally do 5 to 15 per day and had 3 days in a row of 0 sales.
Ebay got pulled by google for horrible SEO work. Traffic dropped I seen the chart by a member on here who sent it to me. |
yotano211 | 10-15-2014 08:41 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 No problem here. I am going on a record year. I'm still stocking up for the Christmas season. |
james13v | 10-15-2014 10:20 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Yep. Another days, another $0. No variables explains 40 sales the first 10 days and 2 sales the next 5 days . |
exxomscp | 10-15-2014 10:47 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 Last month was absolutely great, pulled in quite a bit. But yeah, sales have been kind of here and there this month. We were kinda off to a bad start this first 1-2 weeks, especially since I had an entire week and a half of sales in the beginning that were basically deadbeats. |
james13v | 10-16-2014 10:22 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 End of day 6, and 0 sales.
Anyone else want to claim that 40 sales in first 10 days and 2 sales in the next 6 days is just some fluke, with many variables in play?
Called ebay, they didn't know ****. Said my account looked amazing, blah blah blah. Never heard of throttling. Said that the last 3 months, the economy has been bad. Had no explanation why despite a bad economy, my last 3 months just keep ( until now...) getting more and more sales.
But he did give me an extra $15k a month listing limit... Thanks... That will help me a lot. |
aking | 10-16-2014 10:28 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 This week has been super slow. I was actually looking to start a thread to see if anyone was experiencing the same thing. |

The real question is ''will they fix it?'' |

Business reports suggest retail spending is down. They dont know why. Summer showed an increase in the economy and latest report says we are stalled.
One the plus side they say oil keeps falling and should help soon.
I am at a stand still on sales across amazon/ebay. It will pick up after halloween. |
yankee | 10-17-2014 10:38 PM | re: ARE your sales still slow this month? Oct - Nov 2014 For the slow sales, Auctions or Fixed Price listings? | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:41 AM. | |
