So why do eBay sales slow? Very often sellers, at a loss for any other explanation, blame eBay, concluding that the marketplace simply doesn’t like them anymore. While eBay may not be deliberately sabotaging your sales, the notion that your sales are suffering because of their actions, or changes that they have made, could well be true. In this pos...
Imagine this – you’re an experienced eBay seller, you know your competitors and you keep an eye on them regularly. But one day, you type in a keyword to scope out your top competitor, and they are now ranking above you. Your natural reaction in this situation is probably to panic, but don’t! It could simply be that your competitor improved one of t...
If your existing competitors show no signs of having improved their listings, it could be that new competitors entered the market, and are ranking better than you. This might be because they have a long history of selling on eBay in other categories, and are more established. If their feedback and performance metrics are better than yours, then the...

So, when eBay itself has a slow month, or has a problem with its own search ranking, your sales may suffer. A prime example of this was the infamous incident of 2014, when Google applie...

Sometimes this is just to update aging technology, or fix bugs, but often it’s a deliberate update to make them act differently to how they did before. In May 2020, Google rolled out a core update, one of the largest in recent years. Each core update seems to f...
eBay is constantly looking for ways to improve the buying experience for its customers. So, when they want to try something different, rather than roll out a change to everyone at the same time, they’ll perform some random testing first. These tests can last anywhere from a few days to over a week, depending on the stage of the testing process. Rec...
Logically, you might think that eBay would give each sale to the best seller for that particular product, to ensure buyers have a good experience and purchase items on eBay again in the future. But eBay’s algorithm appears to do exactly the opposite. At times, they boost some sellers while holding others back, seemingly to share the sales around. W...
In a land far far away from the pay-per-click advertising of Amazon and Google, is eBay’s Promoted Listings, which your competitors might have started leveraging to eat into your share of the sales. For those of you who aren’t familiar with eBay’s Promoted Listings, you bid between 1% and 20% of the sale price in return for enhanced visibility in s...
When buyers are looking for products on eBay (and anywhere else, for that matter) a popular technique is to take the top few results, open them in separate tabs, and compare them to each other. In the past, when buyers compared your listing to your competitors’ listings, perhaps yours looked the most appealing and so converted the best. Now, though...
eBay, as many sellers know, is not infallible. Sometimes their mistakes can cost sales. A classic scenario is when it experiences outages, where neither buyers nor sellers can access some or even all of the site. In 2017, eBay experienced a significant outage, where sellers were unable to list items from the new Seller Hub. In 2020, a major outageh...
