eBay Sales Performance
Thirty-six percent of eBay sellers said their average selling price (ASP) has either remained the same over the past 2 years (18%) or have increased over the past 2 years (18%), while 54% said their ASP has decreased over the past 2 years. Two percent did not know, 3% said the question did not apply to them because they no longer sell on eBay, and 6% said it did not apply because they are relatively new sellers.

More people had a declining sell-through rate (STR), however. Sixty-three percent said their STRs have decreased over the past 2 years. Fourteen percent said STRs have remained the same, while 12 percent said they have increased. Three percent did not know, 2% no longer sell on eBay, and 6% are relatively new sellers.
