    Ebay sales

    Has anyone that sells on ebay.com, been experiencing slow or non existent sales lately?

    Most of what I have listed either sells or gets a few bids on it, within the first day or 2 of it being listed, but this past week there has been tons of views, a few followers, but no bids or sales.

    Is there a "slow time" right now that I am unaware of?



    I have things listed at prices like in the past.

    During the springtime people want to get out of the house. Once the heatwaves hit people are back inside with the AC. Collectable stuff still sells all years long since the younger people hit ebay using their cells and tablet pcs/laptops while they are out and about.

    Its a good time to max out your ebay account, my selling limit for my store are at 87k right now, i just need to list 20k more to hit that level. After that i plan on opening a few other accounts and selling on those as well.

    Take advantage of this slow time of the year and low metals/escrap prices to build inventory and reorganize items.

    My sales have remained level or increased over the last few months.

    Im hitting the curb, garage sales and thrift stores hard over the summer. Doing heavy advertising on craigslist also.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    guess it depends on what ya sell my sales have not slowed but I sell almost everything I can find to make a buck off of sure electronics make up most of my profit since most of what I get is free or very low cost but most of my sales are a lot of various things. also depends on how much shipping is because if its heavy and costs a lot to ship people will turn to clist which is were I do a lot of sales in person that way which I sell a lot of hard drives and ups back ups this way and all the couches and chairs I find and resell
