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.

[dwaynedibbley]

It IS due to ebay making changes to the platform. Their constant tweaking definitely affects selling.

[davidstevensasidewayslook]

People are really feeling the pinch, the cost of living has skyrocketed and more so, the disposable income has disappeared and buying "stuff" has fallen into a big black hole. Sorry mate.

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. Decided to just take everything to the charity shop. It's just not worth having hundreds of items cluttering up my house. Hopefully will make a few quid for the charity.

I drive a cab for a living. There are definitely less people going out at night at the moment. I think there is just a shortage of spare cash. We just have to keep grinding and trade through it.

[TomDuggan-pggl]

Yes. Same here. Sales went off a cliff on Wednesday last and have not recovered. Does anybody know how long it normally takes to get back to normal after eBay makes major site changes?

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.

I have the worst week on eBay this week in 22 years glad I’m not the only one but thinking it’s time to move on .

[hawkinsemporium]

My sales have tanked since last Tuesday, I have a feeling ebay are tinkering & pushing the new private sellers accounts, so weird its been dead since they launched no fees. Still listing the same 10 a day everyday

[doctordestiny]

Ive been doing ebay for nearly two years. Last weel i had three days in a row with zero sales.. literally first time that has ever happened..get odd one day no sales once in a blue moon thats it. So i decided to create a vinted account ive got four sales in two days..and multiple views and favourites. Compared to many zero view listings on ebay.

[hamsternibbler]

I know six people who have ditched eBay in one week alone, that's just me. I think people have had enough of all the messing around.

[nanabear]

Replace top draw with bottom that way you can probably store a small box in gap.

[Yoofaloof]

I'm a private seller and only sell the odd item about once a week. Haven't sold anything in the last 2 months. I have to keep checking just in case I've missed a notification.

[dumpsterdivingdebz]

Im a private seller and my sales have gone through the roof since the fee change best its ever been.

[tomgrimshaw]

Hi Nick! I remember a few videos back you said you have a disc cleaner, which one do you use? Many thanks

[w.hawkins]

Regarding the plastic draws, potentially the frame can come apart in sections, you may be able to remove one level and place the topper back on.

[mrcoolsun]

I'm a business seller and yeah my sales where abysmal last week too. Edit: just had an email from ebay offering "sell pre-loved clothing for free this season" "We wanted to let you know about a limited-time opportunity for business sellers like you to sell your pre-loved clothing for free until the end of the year. 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. "

[julianwilletts]

I ve been a business seller for past 6 years and have never had such a bad month. Sales dropped of a cliff in past month by 45% dont know what ebays playing at but you would think being q4 the items i sell toys / games would be flying out. But no. Good luck guys

I hope your ebay sales pick up Nic, and anyone else who's sales have slowed... I'm not a reseller anywhere, I just enjoy watching various channels, a couple in America and George Ross & Nic and Andrea 🤞🏻 on your next video it's more healthy on the sales 💞💙
