Sales Decreased 90% ... Need Some Discounts On Selling Fee

In this period of Recession .Every seller face Poor sales .
In Between Sep to Nov ,in three months I sold Over 900 articles buy Dec is Worst ... Since Ist dec only sold 75 products and 35 out of these are not paid yet.... my Fees payable increase everyday by few hundred and if curcumstances remains same I am sure fee will cross my total sale ...
I tried to increase sales by reducing Prices (even below wholesale market prices ) but ...NO BUYERS ..

I REQUEST EBAY TO SUPPORT IT SELLERS BY GIVING SOME SPECIAL FEE PROMOTIONS ..LIKE FREE INTERNATIONAL LISTINGS OR DISCOUNTED FEATURE FEE ..

We really need Support from ebay to stay alive here ...

Hi all !!
all of us in the same boat. Just due to the recession.
My sales are also down by almost 90%.
But we should not loose hope. May be the new year brings good buyers who pay promptly.

Ebay should come up with some new good ideas to promote the sales.

Lets see what happens.....

for last one month I have tried so many things too many methods to increase sales but none of them worked but my fees increased to good five figures .

Even i tried to sale items on Rs 1 auctions with free shipping for items worth 250-600 but received maximum bid of Rs 26 to Rs 71 ( my courier charge atleast Rs 55 for a packat)... so lost thousands of Rupees in this experiment.

I think , it is better to stop sales till recession end ..ebay has closed their eyes about this situation because they dont feel the impact of this recession ( they are getting their fees asusual)

I have already started pulling out my products

ebay should lower its fees. Give us free listing for this month at least.
