Are your sales down because of E-Bay being down alot? I notice my are way off this week and I think the outages to to blame.Alot of my items get bids right before the auction ends.

Of course! I notice that hits on other auction sites soar when eBay is down or limping.

Mine definitely are! I had almost 50% of my auctions end yesterday without a bid, something that has NEVER happened in all the time I've been selling on Ebay (since October 1999). I think it was because the site was up and down like a roller coaster all day and evening yesterday and buyers just got tired of trying to get in to bid.

I think a lot of it is because Ebay being down, but also where our item is placed in the catagories now. I tried to browse for some items. I went through 16 pages of candles and wallpaper for instance.. Which I had no interest in .. Got so tired looking at stuff I didn't have any interest in I QUIT looking. Wondering if other potencial buyers are feeling same way.Have you tried going to look for your item by browsing where Ebay placed your item .. Try it..

Mine are down. Have 15 auctions running and will close shortly and not a single bid. I generally sell about 80%.

My past 2 months I've had over $900 in Ebay sales - my 2 best months ever since starting on Ebay.... Price wise have been getting about what I expect too as well.. don't usually find a lot of sniping on my items.. 8(

Every once in awhile, yes, but most of them just get bids when the buyers who want them find them, or they go BIN...

Exactly, too many auctions closing without bids. I to am a 80-95% seller depending on the day and time etc.

Last 30 days looks ok but last 2 weeks look bad. Probably 50% or less.

By the way I am in computer parts.

Time of year - annual slowdown when school is out; many being laid off; concerns with economy.
