Re: Apparently IT isn't working. eBay sellers complain of slow holiday sales
I never understood that either. I have a lot of people tell me I should buy adwords to get more ebay bus. I don't want it there I want it somewhere else. I do buy adwords and overture for the company's website.
Thentavius, did you get moved? My sales have been about 1/2 of last Nov. but of course most of this year has been. Although I've actually sold several hundred off ebay which is always good. I wish I had more time to deal with my website. I don't really like MW and want to just install Mals into my webpage but still struggling to get the whole shipping issue figured out. It's not even so much technical as it is just how I want to deal with shipping period. Baby steps but things are getting a little better. Hopefully next year I wont give a IT what I sell on eBay.
Cowboy Up!

Thentavius ... give us details of your plans!
 Back to OT. Someone posted on the Stores Board that eBay was number 1 on Cyber Monday. However, it was for "visitors." BIG difference between visitors and buyers. |

Re: Apparently IT isn't working. eBay sellers complain of slow holiday sales
I'd say in the middle. Late 2002 to mid 2003 Xmas sales on the bay in 2003 were noticeably less during the normal holiday rush, at least for the me. I think that is when I started looking into the forums for answers at ebay. My first peaks were at the tech boards and boy was it hopping then with pizzed off bayers. I remember some threads with over 3 to 400 posts about "giving ebay feedback", "this site is just no fun anymore" "slow loading pages", "category roll outs" and yes "enhancements that were NOT enhancing".
Stuff like that.
