eBay

Something very strange is happening to my sales this month. I have not had a single sale to the US and normally the majority of my sales go to the USA. My sales have all been to Canada and the UK. September was normal with 9 put of 10 sales going to US buyers. It's almost as if US buyers are not seeing my items. Seems to be happening on both my ID's. Anyone else noticed this?

Of course, what makes it worse, is that this month Canada Post added Small Pkt Air USA to our free shipping Tuesdays and I haven't been able to use it!

Not sure how the "accepted solution" got marked as accepted, maybe my small screen and my hand hit something but didn't mean to do so. Sorry, mistake.

If you click on the arrow at the top of that post I believe that there is an option to unmark it as the solution.

I noticed starting early July a marked decline in US sales, dropping for me from July to Sept to around 30% of pre June 2022 numbers. It was quite a stark and quite a fast decline, it hasnt recovered. I think its economic, they are struggling to cope with inflation and there are fewer discretionary purchases being made across the country. Even the odd offer I get from prospective US customers are ridiculously low, they want stuff even cheaper than they would in the past. Anecdotally the sales I am making are to parts of the US where there are lots of wealthy prospective buyers (major cities and their metro areas where there is a higher concentration of wealth - Atlanta, Boston, LA, Chicago, NYC, Vegas, Washington DC, Phoenix / Scottsdale & Miami, as well as states like AZ and FL where lots of retirees live), sales to customers from 'heartland' locations (entire Midwest and most of the south except GA, FL and TX) are mostly gone.
