Dramatci drop in Store Inventory sales - Last two Weeks
shilagani (5710 ) View Listings | Report Jul-09-05 09:00 PDT
In the last two weeks I experienced 100% drop in store Inventory sales.
Here are the qty sold in last four weeks
19 - 23 - 10 - 9
Has anybody experienced this drop or is it me?
Nothing changed at my end. Same quantity of listing and its a featured store.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I think you meant nearly a 50% drop. A 100% drop would reduce sales to zero.

I've had the same experience this past week. The week before was great, but this week sales in my store and auction have dropped by at least 50%. And the mortgage is due next week!

Over the last two weeks we have had a 60% drop in store sales and a 30% drop in auction sales.

Hey - do you guys export your store listings to Froogle?
texcyngoods (2379 ) View Listings | Report Jul-09-05 11:38 PDT 5 of 25
Acme - I did export to Froogle when it was first announced, but have not since. Is this something I need to do on a regular basis? Other than Ebay, my largest number of hits actually come from Yahoo. Very few from Google and I've never seen any from Froogle.
If you have a moment, could you refresh my memory on how to import to froogle? It was a long time ago.
Thanks,
Cyn

Actually Cyn, once you set froogle it just grabs your file regularly.
Items exported by Froogle have actually been showing up at the very top section of GOOGLE searches for a while now up until mid june or so.
Google and Froogle no longer show items like they were - and acording to the Ebay Stores forum (there is a big thread there) Google made some major changes in June that have affected everyones search engine ranking.
I asked about Froogle because that was my only export and the Search Rank problems that seem to be pretty widely acknowledged don't apply to my particular issue, but it could be some of y'all's.

It is vacation season - so if your items were a big pre-vacation purchase type item then you may be coming down off a 'seasonal' mini-surge in sales.
Summer is usually pretty quiet, but you may have maintained good momentum right up until the throngs started leaving town for the beach!

Last month was up 65% over last year and I was getting pretty hyped for this month since thay went up last year.
Instead of an increase, sales on Ebay and my web site are down 53% for July.
My only consolation is that my competitors are listing like crazy with gallery images and their sales are as bad or worse than mine.

Shouldn't try to watch the race and type at the same time.
I was getting pretty hyped for this month since sales went up in July last year.
Instead of an increase, sales on Ebay and my web site are down 53% for the same 10 days in July from last year.
whoops...trouble in turn 2...gotta go!

Mine were down last week, but this week has been good for my store. I didn't list a lot last week though. I ended up with twice as many store sales as I usually have (exculding last week's low).

Actually my store sales are the only thing keeping us afloat. Auctions are doing nothing. Last week I had auction sales of $125.94, my fees were $112.64, 8.3% sell through. It's slow, we have everything at full retail in the store so that helps. I believe it's only going to get worse. We have had 12 years of economic boom so now we are going to have 12 years of depression. What goes up always comes down, this is thw way of things. That is what I think, but I also think rain is wet, but who am I? Hang in there, everything cycles. It will come back.

Okay, I'll just send a note to my mortgage company "Hang in there - will send payment as soon as the cycle turns." LOL - Not being mean, just a joke, I know what you are saying.
Guess I'll go check that money tree in the back yard - Shoot! It dried up since we haven't had rain in months!
Here, tropical storm, here little stormy that will produce enough rain, but not destroy everything.

I think the changes at Google are having an effect on store sales.

Yes tex we need that rain. Crops are toast. Corn is only 5'tall and not going to make. We are struggling to keep the house from repo too. We don't want you to blow away, but if you could send us that rain we will take it.

Anybody know a rain dance? We folks in Texas could sure use one! We don't want a Dennis, something a little milder would be helpful though!
Google - why oh why did you have to go and make these changes? And are you responsible for the drought here also?

Oh yeah, Google. Just when I get my store loaded up and Froogled, they change the ranking algorithm. Everything that was first page ranked is simply... who knows where? It cost me $1000 in fees to gross $3500 last month. This month sux worse. Sales of $400 in 10 days. We need $400 a day. Small comfort. Creditors can't take my house; I already sold it. Like the old joke goes, "there's a pony in here somewhere." artz

Need guidance on froogle set up please.
I have heard and read that eBay spends BBBBBBBBBig $$$ on search engines like google. If so, what is reaction for these latest changes by google!!!.
My second best traffic is coming from yahoo. Google is # 4. Is this a majority trend?

Oh boy, I'm behind the times. I've never put my store on any search. But, I sell quite well from there. Any info on this would be appreciated. Is it on the stores board?

Waiting anxiously for a small hurricane to happen by.

Sometimes we get rain without a hurricane. Sometimes when it gets real hot, it sets off thunderstorms! Happened north of here just the other night! But they went southeast, right past San Antonio!
Did I mention it was 106 degrees here the other day?

WOW! I just checked and both Google and MSN have dropped off the map for searches. I heard about Google making changes which have scrambled the search rankings of just about everybody - now I know it wasn't just griping.
However, our sales are about on par with last year, and ahead of last month slightly. We've been listing a bit more than usual, so it's true - you can't sell it if it isn't listed...
Guess it's time to pick up the camera and get back to work...

okay,
how can you tell where the sales/searches are coming from
when I check my traffic report it doesn't break down where the search engines come from just the keywords being searched.
owen*and*emma (2788 ) View Listings | Report Jul-10-05 06:44 PDT 25 of 25
pinehaven .. YOu can look at "referring domains" and "search engines" under Finding Methods.
