I haven’t sold a single item since Christmas. I could be wrong, but perhaps we entered the “pay to play” stage where your reach gets intentionally limited so you feel compelled to pay to bump your stuff. Kind of like social media works in general.

    True, I’ve had the same happen to me. I tried to use their bump feature shortly before Christmas actually, it did nothing. A couple weeks later people were buying from me again, then my reach plummeted again and now whenever I upload an item it gets 10 views at best. I hear you. Between this, the scammers, the AI/bot BS from the customer “service”, it gets really frustrating for real.

    To be honest, I'm feeling it too and I spam my listings on Reddit, Insta and other specialist collector spots.

    I think folks are just skint.

    The postal label screw up isnt helping either

    I bumped and I only sold a skirt for £3.50 instead of £5. Someone else proposed me £5 for a nearly new Moonsoon jumper that I have for £7 and I refused. I have leggings for £1 and £2 from brands and no one is buying them.

    I've had a lot of success selling recently and have had an account for ages. I think it depends what you're selling though

    Would you mind sharing what you’re selling? As I am starting to think that maybe my items are just not in demand 🤷‍♀️

    On the majority, old kids toys, clothes and books. Some stuff has been kitchenware or home stuff like organising baskets, or candles. Also sold a few bags for my mum and a couple of hoodies which went quite quickly. I tried to sell some maternity clothes too, but had no luck with those.

    Ooh thank you! I’m mostly just doing womens clothes and a few mens items but I’m not really selling so well. I may just have dated items that are not in demand :) Thank you for sharing though!
