i JUST HAVE TO GET THIS OFF OF MY CHEST. I GIVE DETAILED DISCRIPTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS. MANY PHOTOS AND MY SELLER DASHBOARD SAYS DOES NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE DISCRIPTION. I AM TRYING TO HELP MY CUSTOMERS BY GIVING THEM ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEY USE IT TO SAY I DO NOT GIVE ACCURATE DISCRIPTIONS. THANK YOU FROM DONNA MAE ROBINSON ID

At least in part, you are not getting any questions as eBay somehow has dropped out the 'Ask Seller a Question' on listings. If I have any questions as a Buyer, I pass on that auction.

You might ask eBay why the 'Ask Seller a Question' option on listings has somehow managed to disappear!

I for one won't bid anything if I cannot ask questions, and I think other potential buyers feel the same way. If eBay was a fair business, it would/should return the listing fees on all auctions that did not include an option for asking questions.

Does eBay REALLY expect a buyer to purchase something sight unseen and no questions asked? I think not.

Most of the overseas shipping was knocked out by the post office 3 years ago with that major increase.

Then ebay comes up with the idea that power sellers will pay less for their listings and get better exposure.That came with the big dsr's attitude they fondle.

I decided at that time I am not going to be a slave for ebay, paypal and the post office.

I only list very occasionally when I am curious about an item and only as an auction. If it gets any worse I will stop even doing that.

I too have experienced a decrease in sales as well as interest in some of my items. It's obviously due to the recession in general, many people are cutting back including ebay buyers. The best thing to do is keep trying and, like many of you, hope that perhaps in the future there will be a better venue than ebay to sell our wares. Good luck to all!

The CEO did state during an interview on NBC's financial channel that 50% of their revenue came from outside the US.

Sales are down the most I have seen in my nearly 10 years as an Ebay seller with most at the Power Seller level. There are many different opinions as to why sales are at possibly the lowest point ever on Ebay. Ebay does not seem to be concerned, leaving us sellers to fend for ourselves. Ebay does offer some extremely useful selling tools, but of course with extra fees. An example: why do we have to pay a "fee per click" for an enhanced search service that will help generate more sales resulting in more fees for bay? Ebay should provide this service free for both our and their benefit.They don't seem to understand that the more they promote their sellers and the more FREE sales assistance they provide, the greater our sales will be, thus more fees paid to Ebay and PayPal. Unfortunately, the free services they presently offer, do little towards increasing sales.

It would be extremely helpful to sellers if Ebay would provide ( without charging us for the service) useful information on an ongoing basis such as:

(1) Average Ebay sell -thru rate for each category
(2) Average domestic and international shipping & handling fees applied by sellers in each category
(3) Average selling price realized in each category, expressed in three sales ranges; low, medium and high end.

My firm belief is that if we all pull together, much can be accomplished, but it will be a long, uphill grind if Ebay does not come to the assistance of sellers in this extremely troubled economy.
