If you have a chance, run a traffic report and do a comparison between today 4/15 and the last two tuesdays.

I belong to a small (7) local group of merchants that all sell at least some merch on ebay. 6 out of the seven of us had an interesting drop in traffic that started two weeks ago and seems to have peaked today with a significant drop of between 20 and 55%. Among the 6 of us, we specialize in four separate products with two of us selling mixed unrelated goods. Our two clothing people picked up on it first. I've seen this in the past, but not so broadly or starkly. Generally it passes in a few days. I would love to have additional data from you ladies and gents.
 

Maybe Passover has something to do with the drop in traffic.
 

April 15th...tax day!

I don't have a store so I can't do a traffic report, but my sales have definitely slowed to a crawl over the last few weeks. Only 9 sales in the last 30 days, and half of them total nickel and dime situations. It's killing me, thank god my etsy store has been doing better.
 

I have only sold 2 items this month, I average around 7 or 8 so I'm well behind. I'm forecasted to have 50 fewer page views this month, an approximate 8% drop from last month.
 

I don't have a store either so I can't check my traffic report. I've been averaging 1 sale per day over the last month. This is with an approx. 50 item BIN listings average. Sales should pick up in the next week or so hopefully. I can say my "page views" have been pretty pathetic. Easter is this weekend and tax day just passed, probably has something to do with it. I've been having the same luck at the sales on weekends the last month or so. Just bread and butter type stuff, nothing major.
 

Odd- my last two weeks were above my average compared to the prior month or so.

I've noticed it fluctuates a lot. Some weeks I have 0 bids or buy-it nows selling and other days I get 5 or so bids and 1 or 2 BIN or best offers.
