My first "real" winter on eBay taking this 100% serious. I love it so far, and it really hasn't even started yet. More users for me at least more active in my categories I sell in now.
Its ALWAYS good to sell things that work for the holidays (i.e as a gift). So basically right now is good for me, when it really gets into mid November and beyond I'm going to be $$$$$$
I'll have to look into search rankings as well...thanks for the reminder. One of the linked articles I read about the downbeat outlook on eBay mentioned that changes with Google searches have meant eBay items aren't getting ranked as high...ebay is working on some kind of complicated fix, according to the article, but it didn't make it sound like it would be delivered soon. So you may be getting fewer hits through that direction as well as through eBay's own search.
I only sell 5-10 items per week but have not had one sale in over 10 days. WTF! This has not happened in 5 years of doing business. Over the summer I noticed most buyers did not do BIN but waited but NO sales for this long is unprecedented.
Possible eBay has lowered your search ranking for some reason. Try doing a test search on your item keywords...that could be the culprit.
