WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUYERS GONE?????

[jackied2]

Business is WAY down compared to last year's Sept to December period. My offerings are just as good if not better than last year (I sell antiques and collectibles - 19th and 20th century). And I've significantly lowered my starting bid prices. The buyers just seem to have evaporated. I was hoping the Christmas season would make my year and instead, I'm seriously considering giving up on ebay altogether. Can anyone offer possible reasons for this sad situation? Is Ebay Express in the US having a negative impact on Canadian sellers? HELP!

Now from my expiries.
I was working for auto shop and make 50% from buying and selling cars 7 years ago. I was making about $500-2000 from sale one car. Now you go and ask how much seller person make in month in any auto shop. Then put it on Discussion Board.

Hello. I found all the comments interesting regarding this dilemma regarding lower sales. I sell the good, bad and ugly, collectibles to electronics. I have found sales are down by at least 30% from last year. I'm getting more Canadian buyers than American buyers. I noticed the downward slide in sales when the Canadian dollar got stronger. My sales were a lot better when the shipping was cheaper due to the higher exchange in the USD.

That is true!!! But I think Customs fees return to us Canadian buyers!
