eBay sales kinda suck lately, and now they're trying to automatically opt you in to using their international shipping service (they may have opted you in to this- if you don't want it like I don't, go check to be sure).

I go to opt out (since my shipping is included in my U.S. listing price, international shipping is expensive and complicated, I don't like intermediary services, I only ship internationally in certain cases), and I get this. Opt out being processed?

eBay. Seriously.

Has anyone else who sells on eBay seen REALLY decreased sales recently?

I've sold on eBay for 23 years now, just casually on and off when I feel like it, and I've sold a LOT of things, from electronics to toys to clothing-- just everything.

But this year is incredibly strange. I've had no sales since January, absolutely 0, which is extremely unusual. Three whole months, nothing. I think this is a first. Some months I may only sell a couple things, but it's usually SOMETHING.

I suspect eBay is pushing down listings of sellers who don't pay for their 'promoted' listings. I tried doing some of those, and saw no increased sales when I did it, so I stopped. Sure, you get so many free listings now but why would I pay a final value fee AND a promoted listing fee, when I see no difference in sales? No thanks.

I have almost 60 things listed in my store, too. And they're all priced pretty decently-- as cheap as I can, with rising shipping rates now, etc.

It's just weird.

Are you all seeing this too? Is it the economy? Something else?
