Just a quick question - are anyone else's sales abysmal? - I used to sell 5-10 things a week, not much but the items can be higher priced so that helped. I've sold one thing in 12 days... this is not the first time this year that's occured. I get fresh lots up regularly at reasonable prices, all are unique pieces of art - accessible quality and clean. Is eBay dead? Or have I been blackballed somehow? This is my living and with accessibility issues sales are extra important. There are always sales just prior to the monthly store renewal which doesn't help aleve any suspicions.
in fact when we offer "Free Shipping" our sales tend to decrease.
At a guess, the decrease may be from the apparently higher cost of the item conpared to sellers who split out the shipping.
Which is higher $10 with $5 shipping or $15 with Free Shipping?
While most buyers love Free Shipping others will be turned off by the higher asking price.
I've seen sellers put FREE SHIPPING in their titles, but that could lead to misunderstanding with foreign customers.
