We need storms where they would stay at home and check eBay.  I noticed my sales got spike during the snow storms, any kind of weather storms every year!!

It's the economy! People have a lot less disposable income despite the hype you hear coming from the States. If you think it's bad now just wait and see how much worse it's going to get! THIS is the new normal so better get used to it!

Going by your feedback, you have been averaging 32-35 feedback per month for the past year, and have received 31 in the past 30 days.

Those three negatives, and the Responses criticizing the buyers, probably don't help.

We've found, both in our now -closed B&M and online, that it is best to compare sales to the previous year, not the previous month. Some of the reasons were given by other posters.
