eBay

I noticed at the bottom of the seller dashboard that there is a total sales. I've been using this to track my progress, but I notice that it updates weirdly?

Is it updated when the funds are released for a payment (I'm not at $250 sold yet), or when the buyer sends the money after purchasing the item? Or is it just updated periodically?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is any relation to payments, it's just a running total of your sales (not including shipping or taxes). I have no idea how often it updates.

If you view your sales on "my eBay" or "Selling Manager" on eBay.ca, the total is presented in Canadian dollars.

Since you sell in US$, the amount will fluctuate with the currency.

If the US$ goes up in value (Canadian dollar goes down) then the total will go up even if no new transaction has taken place.

There are three numbers for performance to date

1. Percent defects

2. Cases

3. Number of transactions, and dollar value for that number of transactions.

Click on the triangle to the left of number of transactions.... and you will see that the number as indicated today covers a period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

When February 1, 2015 arrives the number of transactions and the dollar value will be for February 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015.

The number of transactions and dollar value for the transactions does not continually change over a 30 day period... but it would appear to change in relation to the 15th of each month.

It appears not to change for the first half of the month... and then goes up until the end of the month (or Is it the reverse???)

----------------------------------

Percent Defects and Cases change in relation to the date indicated... Today that date is January 10, 2015.... That is the start of January 10....

Trending data is for a period starting the first of the month to the date indicated.... which is the start of January 10, 2015.

------------------------------------

The numbers at the bottom of the page are for total transactions for all sales on eBay.... right from the very first sale on eBay

The number of transactions, the total dollar value for those transactions... and the date for the first sale made on eBay.... For me these numbers cover sales from my first sale on eBay back on February 3, 2003.
