A lot of pain being felt in the reselling community worldwide not just here in the UK, could be a lot of reasons for it, but my own feeling is that the cost of living is eating into everyone's discretionary spending.

A true shame this channel prefers to delete comments regarding very odd things that happen for pte sellers (such as major drop of views / sales) as soon as 'no fees' was brought in. It's a very big reason why so many things around us appear never to be challenged.

@TheDrum2010 2 дня назад

With all due respect you're selling low end junk. Decent antique items and genuine collectibles will always hold their value whether you're a private or business seller. You're scraping around charity shops buying board games and coffee cups expecting to make a living. Expand your horizons, buy a van, put in the physical work, spend money on advertising for house clearance work, you reap what you sow 👍 For someone that's been selling on ebay for two decades + you're falling remarkably short. You're buying in CD,S in charity shops, 3 for a £1, 5 for a £1 etc Scraping pennies from polly pocket or a kilo of Lego. All stuff anyone can do, and are doing in their hundreds of thousands. To build a valuable reseller business requires investment and advertisement.

Private seller here. I had a few hundred items listed but was getting no views on anything. I don't understand the promoted listings. No sales since last week.

All you need to do is opt in and sell your items that are in a ‘used’ condition. As soon as you’ve opted in, you won’t pay any insertion, final value, or regulatory fees through 31 December 2024. "

I mostly sell warhammer around being a stay at home father. I tend to find I have a monthly trend where 2/3rds of my sales happen between the 20th - 31st of each month. However....i am aware of lots of people selling on ebay now its fee free....so I suspect there is a level of the market being temporarily having more sellers than buyers. I've also noted that vinted bargins have decreased. I'm using this as an opportunity to do more buying on ebay. However i am aware this is a fairly narrow view of a very large market.

What’s your target revenue per day? Obviously going to depend on what you paid for the items you’re selling but you said £250 or thereabouts for two days of sales was pretty poor so I’m guessing you’re aiming for that per day usually?

I’m a private seller (selling inherited bits from my husband’s grandparents home we’ve been left) and I’ve noticed since the fees went my sales have not just tanked but my stats have too. So I like numbers and I always look at my organic views vs promoted as I don’t normally do more than 2% promotion. It used to be my organic views would be much higher than my promoted. It’s now the other way around. It’s like they are trying to push people into paying higher promotional fees to make up for their loss of other fees. I don’t know if this is happening for all private sellers or business sellers too but it has certainly affected my views & sales. So this change might sound good on the surface not having fees but so far I’m yet to see the positive results.
