My exposure and sales seem To have dropped off. Is this because I do not have a store, or is it that eBay offers all these free listings.

"Is this because I do not have a store,"

 

No.  The listing exposure in search results is the same whether you have a store or not.

 

"stuff" does not sell because buyers do not buy.  It is that simple.  eBay has had "free listing" promotions after "free listings" promotions with two currently running.  While an increasing number of listins are available to potential buyers, it does not change the amount of money they have to spend.

Hi, I was curious and checked out your listings - they look really cute.  BUT even though you're in Canada and so am I, when I clicked on Shipping the following came up?

 

"Shipping cannot be calculated for your area. You can contact the seller for additional shipping costs and services."
 
That seems strange to me, if I wanted to purchase, I probably would look elsewhere - maybe you should check that out.

Someone on one of the Facebook forums just mentioned that views made by mobile don't show in your totals.

If true ( and this person normally knows what she's talking about), the totals might be the same or higher, but not showing all the views.

Competition is fierce & your concerns could be related to a number of factors.

 

Check your competitors & their Completed Listing & see how you stack up.

 

If possible make some item price & shipping price adjustments to remain competitive.

Thanks so much for the response. Do you know anything about Terapeak? I was considering that as an option for trying to track but because sales are down wasn't sure if it would be worth the added cost?
