My hits have been down in comparison to about two weeks ago. Is it possible that when the weather is good that there is a lot less auction activity? Or could it be tax season?

Well, but, good lord, when it's nasty in Chicago it's lovely in California and vice versa. It's always great and always rotten somewhere in the world, isn't it?

When the weather gets extreme, the ebay activity goes up as a general rule.
I have noticed that if there are two days of rain in a row in Florida or a particular region that the addresses of my bidders tend to concentrate in that area when the auctions close. Same for snow, or high winds or whatever keeps people inside. During the summer I tend to have more sales from Texas.
So weather is just one more factor in the equation. But not the only one. It's quite a puzzle to try to figure it all out.

Most of the nation has bad weather now. I'm in one of the few areas where it is actually sunny and warm. Minnesota is in the single digits; Texas is in the 30s.
