The last 12 years have been fun, but its time to jump this sinking ship.

When you only sell two items a year, there's something wrong and I don't see it getting any better here.

Want to wish you all Good Luck, Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas.

Have a great day

Best wishes for the holiday season. Knowing when its time to move on is one of the skills any business person needs.

 

The ship is not sinking but the cargo it is carrying changes from year to year.

Ebay isn't the only place i sell, so they'll still be reported.

Have a great day

     I wish you the best in all your future adventures. Being a seller on eBay kind of reminds me of Kenny Rogers and the words from one of his songs. 

 

"You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run"

 

Best of holidays to you, family and friends.

I think if thats how its working out, you've solved the problem.  Not every site is a great site for every item.  Some items do much better on certain sites, not so well on others.  And that may change over time.  Ebay may become better in the future.  The sites they are doing well on now, may cease to be later on.

There's definitely a hole in the bottom and filling up with water.

At least you have other platforms to sell on. Best Wishes.

A lot of sellers do not create a "business plan" before selling. And a seller has to adapt to our changing 🌎.

Selling the same old same old doesn't always work. 

And we have to realize more and more sellers jump on the ship....unfortunately you had to jump off the 🚢.

Just a bit low in the water. So the "tech team" needs to stop making waves.

That may be - but according to your own feedback your primary products for sale were ground-up eggshells and rabbit poop. I am pretty sure that when people out there go looking for ground-up eggshells and rabbit poop Ebay is not their first thought for sourcing, nor are either of those products ideal for holiday gift-giving. You could probably widen your range of products and enjoy more success as a result. Good luck.

Stick around the boards, though, okay?

Yes, agree with Maxine totally, if you leave who's going to guide the Sri Lankans?

Besides Ebay, I sell on another site, plus I have 5 of my own sites.

Selling the same item does work if buyers are able to see your items.

I dumped the store subscription a few years ago, and since then, my views have gone down to almost nothing.

Have a great day

Yes, those 2 items were my best sellers here and have been for years.

As for gift giving, you'd be surprised how many people bought for giving as gifts.

I've received messages from members that received them as a gift and wanted to know if I had anymore.

 

As far as a wider range of items, I did, but when you only get 0 or 3 views a month, there's something wrong somewhere.

 

When no one is able to find your items, the chance of selling anything is pretty slim

Have a great day
