Are eBay sales being affected with the credit crunch?

November 20th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Hey to all eBay sellers out there have you find that your sales are decreasing in anyway with the credit crunch?

Thanks for your input.

Possibly – our ebay sales were down 85% on last Christmas. However I also firmly beleive that ebay themselves have failed sellers by introducing their new search format in September 2008; our sales started falling dramatically from this point!

    I think sales will go up because people will be looking to pay less for things. I recently bought a projector for £57, which was probably about a tenth of it’s original price.

    Yes sales will be decreasing.

    Many of the items sold on eBay are expensive compared to high street retail prices. Just take a look. The reason why is eBay have raised fees so sellers have to charge more.

    September and October were horrible for me and December was a little better. January turned out pretty good.

    It all depends what you are selling. In demand items will always sell and I think that in this economy, people are turning to ebay for bargains.
