Christmas was probably a last hurrah for a lot of people. A lot of people are maxed out. Quoting: Serenity Now Good luck to you. I hope you can pivot as needed. Christmas wasn't even a hurrah. I probably spent half the amount I normally spend. Yeah, people are broke and their CC debt is getting huge. Lot's of people on fixed incomes too and they have been hit especially hard. No extra spending $ which 100-200% price increases. 10% inflation is an outright lie. |

I can't sell small $5 items and ask almost that much in shipping. It makes no sense to the buyer. I sell on Mercari and DePop it is deader than a doornail.

I’ve been doing it as a *cringe* “side hustle” to make a little extra cash on and off for the last 10 years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51281220 I’ve sold electronics, musical equipment, kitchen equipment, automotive parts, furniture, hand/power tools, basically anything that I think I can flip. Sometimes I make a little, sometimes I make a lot. It really depends on the item. Now, before I go any further, I realize that less people purchase off of eBay than in years past. I get that. However, more people do than might be expected. That’s more or less why I still sell. During the start of the pandemic things were going great. I mean, REALLY great. So great, in fact, I converted one of the bedrooms in my home into a tiny warehouse with isle shelving. Within just a few weeks, I emptied the entire room. I repeated this about 4 times in around 5 months. It was pretty cool and amounted to around an extra 1500 per month on average. Fast forward to the tail end of 2022. I can’t get ANYTHING SOLD. ANYTHING. I’ve literally been sitting on the same items forever. Items that would have flown on the shelves two years ago are collecting dust. Right now, one of the items I’m trying to sell is a husqvarna 20 inch gas powered chainsaw (new in box). Retail is around 450. I listed it for 325 with free shipping. To me, that seems like a pretty good deal. 6 weeks on line. No buyers. A few days ago, I get an offer. Fifty dollars.. FIFTY DOLLARS. I was so annoyed, I pulled the listing. I still get all the views I did but NOBODY is buying ANYTHING. In ten years of doing this, I’ve NEVER seen it this bad. I’m fairly certain that this economy is going to collapse in a few years. We are going world war three then the depression its over |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80691620 United States 02/03/2023 03:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Business has been slow and much harder to win. Last year I was wait listing orders and turning work down at this time. This year its down 52% yoy and trending down from the last week or so. Christmas was much harder to win business, seeing the trends I designed cheaper items and had to sell 3x as many to only do 80% of last year. Things are going to get worse it seems for online sales |
