My Bids on Ebay, Yahoo, and others are almost non existant. Whats going on?? Ebay messed things up with there all mighty rules, so they have an excuse, but what with the other sites. Anyone got any ideas?? Family is getting hungry....
If you think eBay ran folks off with their rules (rules basically only effect sellers), go read the Yahoo board, they started all the "seller" stupidity back in January, and they actually had lost about 70% of their auctions, and they have NOT returned.
Sales seem extremely slow to me also, and I've been at it for years. We deal in one "hot" item which is disallowed on eBay, and normally they are selling like crazy through one of our web sites, and in the last 2 weeks there has been a DRAMATIC slow down.
I don’t remember and early summer so SLOW.
I think perhaps the buyers are on early vacation, perhaps some connected to Memorial Day holidays; and other used their expendable funds for graduation, weddings, and who knows what else.
Many sellers have taken their auctions to:
AuctionAddict, BidVille, ePier, 321Gone, BidBay, Tbay, and others.

I see many people saying that this is not the best season for auction selling, but for me lately within the last two weeks my auctions are doing better than ever on other auction sites.

I have had excellent luck on Bargain and Haggle.Love that site.But also looking forward to E-Bay's Storefronts.This time of year Amazon Marketplace does good for me.
