My bidding has just about come to a halt on my auctions. I was doing great Feb and March (I sell clothes). I know it can turn around last minute...but I seem to remember last year about this time it also happened...I think it was right around tax day (April 15)...anyone else noticing this...did this happen last year to?...do you think it is due to April 15? I know summer doldrums are coming but I thought it is a little to soon for that.

perhaps....and maybe people are a bit shy about spending $$ given the daily economic forecasts. Also, MHO that many folks do not buy used clothes for Easter. who knows for sure.....hang around and things will change.

I think people are too busy doing the tax thing at the last couple weeks to shop

Joyce,
I am in my third year selling clothes now.

Hits(and bids) have been way down ever since Ebay introduced all the categories in clothing. I guess if I pay double listing fees I can get the items listed in 2 categories and get more hits.

And check this out- they are considering recategorizing everything by size!! If they do that I think I'll find something else to sell because it would never work!
