translation - the 60-day grace period for Powersellers with bad DSRs is almost over and that 4.3 DSR for shipping gouging would have caused her to lose her PS status.

I'm getting a ton of traffic to it, but no sales.

Statistics seem to be implying a moderate rate of shopping cart abandonment.

I'm shocked! No sales on that site? Shopping cart abandonment?  Confusedarcasm1:

Her site looks like a scam site or a cut and paste affiliate site.  She needs to hire a web designer and do something about that logo.

:ditto: The logo design makes it look like the site name is Earrings.  Add to that the site's cookie cutter appearance and you have a recipe for low buyer trust in the site and abandoned carts.

Aside from it looking like a parked domain page...

I am shocked that it appears to offer free shipping?  What's this???  FREE SHIPPING? 

Apparently she believes (and rightfully so) than ONLY on eBay can sellers get away with gouging their customers on S/H.

heh
