eBay sellers, are you finding sales are slower and bids are lower this year than previous years?
I occasionally sell collectibles on eBay, and I never sell the same thing twice, so I don’t have a direct comparison, but it seems to me I’m getting a higher percentage of disappointingly low bids and no-sales than I have before. Anyone else having the same experience, or is my perception affected by the pervasive gloom and pessimism around the Great Recession?
I have to agree
Last year sales were great- this year about 1/4. (all mine are multiple BIN’s)
Most items only going for starting bid.
I also found the shops quite yesterday, and was suprised how quick I did my shopping.
Think people are cautious this year, but also ebay search is a hinderence to some Buyers- so they go elsewhere.
Lets hope it picks up in the New Year
