Re: Corona
 

honestly, I don't think I've seem much being discussed, except for the thread about Chinese suppliers, and the one about banning masks and ****.

Re: Corona
 

I have read the forum but as James said, when I check a few days ago there not much content as I would have expected.

This is a worldwide pandemic and if there were a hundred threads on it then let there be..

This is an open discussion

Re: Corona
 

I did not see the latest thread in the category. This is my mistake.

Re: Corona
 

It's hard to tell if my sales are slumping from Covid-19, because I'm still working on getting my stock back to normal levels after Covid-19 nearly wiped out China. :(

Re: Corona
 

If the US and Europe go into quarantine-mode and workers stay at home, I think that would affect mail and package delivery big time.

The issue is not limited to China anymore, it is now global.

Re: Corona
 

that thread is more about the virus itself. while your thread is about issues with sales because of the virus. Honestly, I wanted to post such a thread myself.

Re: Corona
 

Having thought about it i agree. I just read every page and it discussed the virus. Not how the virus will affect sales moving forward

I initially thought it would not affect so much providing mail can be sent and stock can be obtained either from china or other sources, as lots of sellers resell from retailers.

If people were stuck at home, they may choose to buy everything online.

However on the other hand, given its such a pandemic, then if no stock is obtained, demand outweighs supplies and hence dramatic drop in sales.

what does everyone else think?

I spoke to some chinese contacts, who told me its getting a lot better there as its under control, so they will begin trading more, soon.

Well,
Just closed the books on last week, sales volume dropped by nearly half Profit margins 11% above average.
I would bet that it's my low inventory levels right now along with my higher prices (as I priced everything higher due to low inventory) that's accounting for my steep drop off.
People are still shopping, in fact I think people are buying more these days as virus concerns continue. People just like to spend a lot during emergencies and panic.
