eBay is getting tired for me [View all]

eBay is a side gig, I sell some historical items but it's like difficult. No one cares about the past. Seems like eBay gives little visibility unless your items are large dollar or popular. It wasn't always this way. Now I find no way to grow volume.

My volume is 1/3 of what it was in 2015, and 1/2 the annual sales.

As an example, I bet this goes for a song because there are no bidders anymore! And now Dejoy is raising USPS rates for the holidays. I mean 75 cents on first class packages, and $5 on heavy heavy Priority Mail.

I suppose they have to hire temps for the volume, but I do see my post office is spiffed, hired a floor waxer, new carpets, heat in winter, AC in summer, window tints so it always looks closed. These things cost money too.

This listing is a fail. Yet very rare.

I'm new here to this group. Never knew there was an eBay Flea Group. Hey, that's me. An eBay Flea! Or maybe I should flee.
