My new sales report for last week showed I had 6 sales. But it fails to show that 2 have not been paid for yet. I am getting soooo discouraged. Next to no views and no sales and I have lots I could list, but if I am not selling or getting paid, then how am I suppose to pay the fees? I feel like crying...

Odd sales...but sales non the less. Coming mainly from the west coast and late in the evining....just around quiting time for West coast customers 5pm Ebay time. I must be on the west coast servers right now. It would be nice to be on a server that served the whole country alowing sales all day....you know, like it was before April 15th. In any case I SUGGEST at the seller Suggestion box daily now. I am polite when I do so as they tend to bounce the rants back to you stating you did not submit a SUGGESTION. So, I politely SUGGEST that the turn my selling abilities back on and keep them on. Keep me off the rolling blackouts. I also suggested that they put me on a server that is open to the whole country and not just the west coast.

Time to tweet all this out so Ebay does not think that I am slacking.

What is wrong with this site?

I'm trying to relist 1500 listings and it is taking forever as my gallery picture will never show...as I'm trying to revise everything including the large image as required come fall..talk about ridiculousness...

Go down the laundry list of issues JUST on this forum..and it's enough to make one skip down...

Good gravy... Does it get any worse?

Their picture servers have been having problems for the past 3 or 4 hours. About half of the lots I tried to look at wouldn't load the photos, or enlarge the photos. I gave up. Going fishing instead!

Let's hope they get their picture fixed faster than the other huge issue going on here...it would obviously affect their bottom line..so that would get fixed quickly...unlike the small select sellers who are suffering from loss of sales up to 50% or more...that would not affect bottom line..hence why it is continuing to go on...hmmm

Alaska...fishing sounds better...AND a good ole fish fry...fun stuff!

Here is a statement from a blog regarding Best Match on ebay from the person who is in charge of the search area...

Once a new algorithm looks good, it’s time to test it on our customers. We typically start very small, trying it out on a tiny fraction of customers, and comparing how those customers use search relative to those who are using the regular algorithms. As we get more confident, we increase the number of customers who are seeing the new approach. And after a few week’s testing, if the new approach is superior to the existing approach, we’ll replace the algorithm entirely. We measure many things about search — and we use all the different facts to make decisions. It’s a complex process, and rarely clear cut — there’s facts that help, but in the end it’s usually a nuanced judgement to release a new function.

Yep...it started last Sept for some....and slowly it would seem to be expanding hence the more sellers that are complaining of 50% loss in sales....see, some had it in Sept..some in Feb...mid April..me end of April..some June 1st...

I don't think this looks good for improvement...

All my sales the last two weeks have come either from auctions or from returning customers who purchase BIN's.  Watchers mean nothing now for auction items however.  I can have 12 watchers on an item and not get a single bid.

I bought some items yesterday and got a taste of what buyers are probably experiencing.  When it took me to paypal to log in and I entered my password NOTHING happened.  No error, no rejection, just nothing happened.  It took 3 tries for the password to take.  Once it took and I went to pay I got an error message from paypal.  I wasn't sure the payment hadn't taken to I went to my paypal and saw no payment.  I then had to go back to Ebay to start the payment process all over again.  Same password issue, but I was allowed to pay on the second try.  But how many buyers would have given up at the password stall, or the failed payment and error message?

No wonder sales are down; nothing works.

And pictures, Gods picture issues out the wazzo.

I was an idiot to ever trust ebay with the majority of my business.

I think I might be done here.

-I'm going to give this 2 more weeks. And if there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I'm going to let my listings finish and that's it for a few months.

-They take my TRS and shove it.

-I'm also going to demand a partial refund on my fees. Time to call the D.A. if my request is not met.

YOU WON EBAY! BRING IN THE REST OF YOUR WHOLESALERS!!!

-Good luck to you guys! God Speed!

Just contacted CS on their SELLER SUGGESTION LINK....now the listing process is messed up. Tried to list something and it comes up in what I believe to be the SIMPLE form to list. I use the advance form that allows HTML. I click on the change form button but nothing happens. I can't list in my style of listing from this SIMPLE form. It does not have a box for FREE SHIPPING. It does not allow you to UPLOAD PHOTOS!!!! NO PHOTOS???!!! You can not work with HTML. WHAT IS GOING ON EBAY!!! It's bad enogh that my sales are down but now you have fixed it so I can not list ...or at least no list with any kind of professionalism as I have always done. THIS SITE SUCK!!!

ANY ONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE? Do you list using the more complicated form and has that gone away for you? ANYONE??

I am having the same issue.

Pages won't load properly. Taking 30+ seconds to load to the next.

-Mainly Selling, Uploading, Revising, searching inventory.

-Free auction tomorrow? Maybe I'll be able to to list 10-20 max at this rate!

-I had a 35% off sale -not too profitable!

I keep telling everyone to get together and check each others auctions, do a count for each other and most importantly do a search for each other at random times and during peak hours and selling times. Sundays etc...

Some of you need to get together from states that seem to never buy from you.

Then document and screen shot these findings.
