It’s been weeks, maybe months, since I sold something on Bonanza.
It’s been a week or two since I sold something on social media.
I sold something on The Bay about a month ago.
I think I sold something on V maybe two months ago.
Too much online competition.
I sold some VooDoo dolls at a community Small Business Sale. I think this might be the way to go.
How you people doing with online sales?

It’s been deader than a door nail. The last week has fell off the map other than one sale across the sites I sell on.
Thanks for asking. I was thinking of doing the same.

Definitely slower than last month, however, I am doing on average 2 sales a day for my booth here and about the same along the others. This is always a slower time for internet sales though, and now with the Government shut down and such I think as mentioned everyone just does not have that extra money right now. I always use these times to just stock new product, fix older listings, adjust pricing etc.

Due to labour disruptions, then Christmas, I closed down my shops early in November and just re-opened late last week.
I had one sale each on Bonanza and Etsy yesterday. I find my sales on both sites are infrequent, but I need to get to work.
On Bonanza, I need to figure out how to show shipping from Canada, reliably. I need to revamp old listings and get new stuff added.

My ScentWork Booth has sold 4 items in 2019. I’m actually happy with that.

One sale for January so far. I’m using this slow time to add more items and work on old listings.

2 sales this month (actually in one week). Normally I can go 3 or 4 months without a nibble but perhaps Ebays new payment system (not accepting Paypal) is taking its toll there and peeps are looking elseware. I hope it keeps up. I got lots of tokens accumulated just waiting to be used. Happy Sales to All.

Sold a 13 year old SUV yesterday without advertising it anywhere. The guy did some yard work for me and asked if it was for sale. It was not in running condition but he said he could do the work. He needed a 4 wheel drive with all the snow we get here in the NC mountains and has a disabled wife and raising 2 grandchildren.
Then last fall I sold a 30 year old utility trailer which needed new tires and paint job the same way to workmen installing my new floors. They asked if the utility trailer was for sale. Again, I wasn’t advertising but dragging my feet in advertising it.
As far as online sales, mine has also been deader than a door nail too…..lol haven’t heard that saying in a long time but how true and descriptive.

My sales have been so low here that I have my booth on vacation. I’ve been on another site for about two months now and have made close to 30 sales already. I may just close this booth down all together. Even with self promotion here, I barely sold anything, 12 sales in a year isn’t really worth the effort.

I sell more when I advertise stuff on ebay. I am getting more traction with adding in advertising for my bonanza booth from these sales. Went from 1 sale a month to maybe 5 or 6.

On some of the small stuff you get a lot of competition from ebay’s China sellers for small toys, plastic stuff and stuffed toys. They sell jewelry for next to nothing. You kind of have to look at what IS selling and think of ways to expand that. Maybe by sticking to unique stuff.
By the way a wire that powers something is a cord, not a chord. you have a typo in your listing.
