Terrible for March, slow for April, great for May (but too many unpaid items) - OK so far for June.
I think it could be all the free listings and 25 cent promotions clogging the system.

Awful. My sales are the worst they have ever been and I have been doing this for quite a while - 4199 positives!

Not too bad, considering the economy and I haven't been able to list a whole lot due to family obligations. Once I can get past all the grandkids birthday parties and graduation parties I will be roaring to go. But my items are one of a kind collectibles, linens, glass, ect. I have been lucky to be able to list what the buyers want. So hang in there Bill, you have great stuff, the buyers will show up.

my sales have consistently improved on eBay. I just sold a chair for $1750 last week.
With collectibles, much of my sales really depends on what I come across at any given time. If I come across several popular high dollar pieces then I have a better month.
My other account is 75%-90% slower than the holidays, but I expect that because it is directly associated with the season.

High end high ticket items seem to sell better than the low end garden varity ones.
I suspect the dealers are shopping on Ebay!

Slow for eBay sales to North America, but still good to Western Europe and Asia. The one bright spot is Switzerland where direct, non-eBay sales have trebled over the past quarter. Looks like our Google AdWords campaign for Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands is paying off. The Europa market is extra profitable as payments are invariably by IBAN and so free of commission & fees. Japan is still holding up to pre-Tsunami sales volume, though China/HK sales are faster growing.

agitprop, are your Google Adwords campaigns in Chinese, Japanese, German, and specifically directed to those countries?
My Adwords campaigns are in English, and when directed to Asia, my ads were on about 50 Chinese sites. In fact, they were the top sites.
What about language for Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland Adwords?
