How do you sell on eBay? If nobody sees us!!!!
Hello, I sold on eBay for a long time, but I haven't touched it in years.聽
Recently I started listing items again.聽
But the thing is.... I HAVE NO VIEWS聽
If there are no views, there are no sales.聽
聽
Does the same thing happen to you?聽
Is eBay Spain dead?
聽
How do you get someone to see you on eBay.聽
I have items that have had 6 views in a month and I've been through tutorials and done everything they said but no luck.聽
聽
Thanks for your time.
Last question: is eBay dead?

路2 years agoIt's been more than 2 years since someone started this topic. I've read others like it. Two years after the server change. Two years in which Ebay Spain聽 hasn't worked. The search engines don't work for either sellers or buyers. My items for sale get a maximum of 5 views a month.聽 You set up an auction and they don't show up, zero views.聽 I used to sell plants. Like me, I knew tons of people buying and selling plants on eBay years ago, and they've already fled the platform. Now it's not only that the fees went up, it's also that Ebay Spain doesn't work. As a buyer, if I search for a plant, before the first thing that came up was eBay, now it doesn't appear anywhere. And it doesn't matter whether you pay them for a shop or to promote items, I know people who have done it. It doesn't matter: Ebay Spain DOESN'T WORK.聽
I've spent two years waiting for someone at that company to realize they've lost the Spanish market and try to win it back. I don't think it's that difficult. With the commissions they're charging, having more business should be the goal. It doesn't seem like they care
Someone pointed out that it's because we don't sell outside Spain. I do sell outside. But neither outside nor inside do the search engines work for Spain; neither the people inside nor the people outside can see us

路2 years agoThe same happens to me, I have products with dynamic promotion but I don't have visits.聽 I don't understand what's going on.

路4 years agoIt's clear that something is going on, I don't know if it's all eBay's fault, the crisis
or what the hell.
聽
What I do know is that before, as soon as I posted an ad I already had visits
and now more than a week can go by with 0 visits.
聽
I've been selling since 2013 and I've had three stores; last month I closed
one with 800 votes聽 without negatives, just because of two delayed shipments they
lowered my level to regular, since then I wasn't selling anything at all.
And on top of that they send me messages telling me to improve, haha, it's like throwing
someone into a well and telling them "come on, get in shape".
I think I'm going to close this store too.
eBay is hitting rock bottom.

OP4 years agoThat's where I want to get to!!!.聽
Weeks can go by without a single visit.聽

Do people prefer wallapop over ebay more?聽
I think so.聽
Who these days isn't on wallapop?聽
Well, everybody.聽
Not to mention how easy it is to set a maximum weight and have the platform automatically calculate the shipping costs for you, so all you have to do is go to the post office and scan the barcode.聽
聽
I sell on vinted and wallapop. VINTED makes up 90% of my income and, besides being convenient, the shipping costs are lower and it's super easy to ship abroad.聽
You just print, stick it on and send it.聽

Thanks, you've cleared up my doubts.
eBay Spain is dead.

路2 years agoThe same thing has happened to Wallapop as to Ebay... either you pay or you get zero visits. I haven't sold anything on Wallapop for more than 6 months. I signed up when I saw what was happening on Ebay, at first it was fine. Suddenly they introduced the pro account... and the sales stopped

eBay eliminates seller fees in the UK to counter the new wave of marketplace startups.

路1 year agoIt does sell on wallapop, it鈥檚 just that there鈥檚 more competition; the same thing happens with Vinted and Milanuncios, people have migrated to those platforms, along with others like Catawiki... there are hundreds, some work better than others, but it鈥檚 still the only way to reach millions of people.

路4 years agodon't delete my answer, eBay friends. that's the answer to what this gentleman is asking.
you work at this company, but for the reasons I mentioned there will soon be many layoffs at eBay聽
I'm not going to repeat them again, but they're destroying the company because it's impossible to manage it with so much constant change. every day its management is more inaccessible

路2 years agoThey don't delete your reply because, just like there are no visits to our Ebay Spain articles, there aren't any here in the community forum either. Spain and all of us matter to them a

路4 years agoAs you say, eBay is dead.
You just have to look at some very good posts that explain what this platform has become over the last year.聽
To your question, yes, we鈥檝e all had a drop in sales, especially over the year so far, to the point that many colleagues have already abandoned this platform; we ourselves gave it up for good in June.聽
Simply good luck and be careful who you sell to and where, eBay is always against sellers.

路3 years agoI'm about to leave the platform. I imagine it all has to do with the fact that I'm not a professional and I'm not going to pay to have low-priced items (some of them) promoted. They already take quite a lot in commissions to be promoting them.聽
Since then, I've gone from 0 to 1-3 visits per item a month. What's more, I look for my own items, some of which I know people are moving heaven and earth to find because they're out of print and then on Discogs or Wallapop they last minutes after I put them up for sale.聽
So, they're there in case luck strikes. But anyway, I've probably sold 1 or 2 items in the last 6 months.

路2 years ago聽 聽 聽The truth is that it鈥檚 pretty frustrating... I鈥檝e been here for more than 7 years and this has been going downhill continuously.
聽 聽Basically, nobody buys on Ebay because they don鈥檛 know it, there鈥檚 no advertising on TV, I think not on Google either (I鈥檓 not 100% sure about that), and nobody buys from a site they don鈥檛 know...plain and simple.
