Zero sales

Anyone having a serious lack of sales action? I haven't seen this inaction ever in my short career on Ebay, seems like business has just dried up completely. Nothing for 2 months now and I am feeling like I am on some kind of black list.

Hi! I also think that no matter what "rules" there are, there also has to be a randomizing factor.

I believe this because as a buyer, if I come to eBay once a day for 10 days, and it always presented the same 10 or whatever number of items when I first come in, it would get boring and I would go somewhere else where there was more "variety". To keep things "fresh" to a returning buyer, I have to believe if my item follows all the rules etc it would still only come up some of the time so it wasn't always being shown to the same buyer. I expect there is some form of randomizing in the algorithm as well to ensure this variation happens.

This is only my opinion.

I suspect you're quite right -- it only makes sense to shake up the kaleidoscope a bit!

Sales have dropped for me too, in other years I had at least a  steady flow of buyers. even around the special holidays or seasons,  I continue to absorb any new information  to help my sales increase but this year seems to be the slowest ever since i have started.
