Is this what happens when eBay runs 1 cent listing days? Sales are well crappy and thats being kind. My other sites are kicking eBays butt. Time to move more goodies off eBay.

On a brighter note I have gotten a lot of great bargins for .99

I have had a very good week, I hope the rest of April is that good. Most of the stuff I listed for a penny was bid up. I used the sale to clear out old inventory. I just place two orders so I need the room.

Yes, it is April but sales are even suckier than the usual APril sales.

do you guys think the new ebay "BEST MATCH" default search format has anything to do with the sucky sales?

i believe that the BEST MATCH format pretty much removes any type of excitement from ebay as what it original was... an online AUCTION marketplace.

My question was for the originator of the thread, but I appreciate your answer. Up here in the Northeast, people start thinking about spring and the outdoor stuff by this time. I sell antiques, and even in the non-internet world, would avoid doing shows, etc. this time of year.

With any promotion, whether deals on eBay listing or early-bird specials at a restaurant, they are trying to drum up business at the slower times. So unless for some reason it fits your plan, best to avoid.

Even though it is traditionally the slowest selling time of the year, BEST MATCH isn't helping any.

I have been dreading best match, but I see it as having little effect.
