I have been selling quite well for July, at least 2 or 3 a day, so far 30 sales up to Thursday July 13. Now nothing, usually each weekend I would have at least 5 to 6 sales. It is like ebay turned my lights off. I'm wondering if other have noticed or is it only me?

Part of the new page on .com. Lots of good info.

Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays are days without any sales. Below is my sales record. The blue are sales made. You have to remember I sell CD's that are usually under $10. The figures below are also US $.7
Maybe the Tuesday phenomena is a holdover from the days when people bought cds at retail. I quite fondly remember selling thousands of units in a single day. Now artists are lucky if they sell thousands of units period.
It's a bit of you aren't seeing Friday/Saturday sales as those are typically peak active days for us buyers, but it may be the demographic within your category.
Sales have hit an uptick here after a slow month. Fri/Sat/Sun sales were about half of what the rest of the month looked like. Only correlation seems to be higher listing page views (listing page views double of typical "slower' day, but impressions were only maybe 20% higher). Over half of transactions were multi-item transactions.

All part of the seller hub, which was supposed to launch at some point in Canada.

Thanks very much. I don't know how I missed that.
It's helpful in some respects I guess; however, I noticed that it doesn't include Subscription (Store) fees, or labels not purchased through eBay. With shipping labels being purchased from various sites -- PayPal, Shippo or Snap Ship -- you would have to manually factor those expenses in. Personally I'm still using Snap Ship and paying with my credit card (at least until July 31st when their promotional discount ends).

I'm not using the sellers hub, I've managed to avoid it so far but even if you are not listing on .com you should still be able to get the hub on .com and use it for the info. I'm sure the info goes back and forth between the two sites just like it does on selling manager. Just a thought...

Mine shows both listing created on .com and .ca.

Seller Hub on dotcom applies only to the listings created on that site when I last checked a week or two ago.
That corresponds with my experience. The sales history only tracks sales made on .com in my case.

This is what I see from the Selling Manager on ebay.ca:
While the Seller Hub on ebay.com is a big ole pile of zilch because literally none of my listings have been created on ebay.com:
So if one listed on ebay.ca and ebay.com, they would need to be careful when analyzing their sales data on the Seller Hub because it only manipulates dotcom-created listings.

Although I list on both .ca and .com, and have about the same amount of listings on both, most of my sales are on .com. I only have a few sales on .ca so maybe that's why I haven't noticed that my .ca listings are not included. I will check the next time I make a sale on .ca to see if it logs it.
Thanks for the heads up.

And what about sold and then cancelled orders.
Ebay includes those in my seller stats.
They should be removed once cancelled or the stats are totally useless numbers and $s
