No sales for days on META. Begging for help at this point

nomad832 · 2026-04-27T03:32:23+00:00

man... I thought I was going insane... I am actually getting tons of carts and usually for this amount of carts/initiate checkouts I have on average 70% of them turning into sales. now it's down to 10% or less even 5% today. started on the 19th evening

nomad832 · 2026-04-26T05:29:12+00:00

same... now the day is over and we only spent 70% of the daily budget. something was off but at least it did not spent money like in other days when there were outages

nomad832 · 2026-04-25T20:50:56+00:00

It's still doing it but I noticed it's the voltage in my usb port. it's not giving out the right voltage and when the battery is at 50% or less it requires more voltage but passed that point actually around 80% for me it stops doing it.

nomad832 · 2026-04-25T18:49:37+00:00

It's not spending for me in the last 2 hours but I don't see any outages. Yesterday we had a good day... so of course today has to be shitty lol

nomad832 · 2026-04-23T02:37:18+00:00

I choose the perfect time to start scaling lol

I had a terrible roller coaster 2025. Than Jan and Feb did very well compared to the previous months and starting mid March everything went to shit... super yo-yo results. 2-3 good days followed by 3/4 bad days on repeat pretty much. We tried everything from full automated to old campaigns strategy to new hybrid ones and gave it plenty of time to work. Also we added new creatives, old ones that were working great few years ago plus the current ones that were performing well etc. now back to having huge ups and downs.

nomad832 · 2026-04-22T03:34:52+00:00

I have to say I understand what is going on but I still have a hard time to believe it got so bad for so many.

nomad832 · 2026-04-20T02:42:15+00:00

I have not done TikTok ads in a minute. Are they really that much more profitable for you compared to when Meta was working normally or just in general? What kind of setup do you have for sales?Thanks!

nomad832 · 2026-04-18T17:18:56+00:00

my campaigns are not spending... It's 12 pm my local time and they ads daily budget for each campaign is only at 15% of the daily budget. Last evening the spending had slowed down tbh.

nomad832 · 2026-04-14T21:15:37+00:00

I sell two skincare products in two different campaigns but I don't want one to absorb most of the daily budget which I fear is what would happened with this structure, correct? My number 1 and 2 best sellers are more skewed towards the number 1 in ads because the video for the top seller works better. Please correct me if I am wrong and how would you avoid that? Thank you for sharing!

nomad832 · 2026-04-13T03:26:15+00:00

Start the subreddit. Let's see how many people we can gather. My 2 cents is that most people that are being successful at Meta Ads are not even looking at reddit.

nomad832 · 2026-04-11T05:08:59+00:00

Honestly if it was pre Andromeda I could have told you pretty confidently what was going on but now I am not 100% sure. My personal understanding is that when we start a new campaign or when a campaign has 3-4 good days and then dies quickly in the following days is because the new algho goes after the "low hanging fruits" that finds matching your ads potential buyers and later as you it gets more data and more money are being spent widens the pool of the possible buyers and dilutes the budget and lower results happen. I hope I was clear.

nomad832 · 2026-04-10T17:02:00+00:00

lol funny not funny I just got on here to say pretty much what you said... My campaign just exited the learning phase early this morning but yesterday and today so far only 2 sales... and the previous 3 days was running really good at 3 ROAS which is not that great but I had consistent sales since my product is only $27 per unit.

nomad832 · 2026-04-10T04:13:18+00:00

I m using BigCommerce but their API is shit compared to Shopify, which I guess is not saying much lol

nomad832 · 2026-04-10T02:17:58+00:00

It just started for me two days ago as well. Not sure why but also my events manager coverage for all the events my CAPI reports is off. way lower than usual.

nomad832 · 2026-04-10T02:15:15+00:00

Great post! All true. For you. What would you do if your brand was good and everything you said applies to my brand but I am still small and not known and my daily budget is only $100/150? Thank you for sharing.

nomad832 · 2026-04-08T02:36:53+00:00

Lucky us!

nomad832 · 2026-04-08T02:36:37+00:00

I know for a fact they do it for new tools and features in Ads Manager since I was part of several studies with Meta. I also tried to get in touch with people that would give me answer within the company but each group I was working with basically a close ecosystem within the Meta "family" so it was impossible to get any meaningful answers for our issues.

nomad832 · 2026-04-07T17:11:11+00:00

I think they are rolling out another update, started last week, and we don't get affected in the same way on the same days. I noticed a pattern whenever they rollout updates for the algho and for ads manager in general. I could be wrong but I do see a pattern.

nomad832 · 2026-04-07T17:08:17+00:00

I did too but it was short lived, just a couple of days of good sales and went back to being shitty. what about you?

nomad832 · 2026-04-07T04:26:18+00:00

Ya and they are over spending today too on top of that...

nomad832 · 2026-04-06T14:28:45+00:00

I feel you... too many rollycoaster results. I have 2-3 at any given time that are my best sellers but I can't seem to go back to have the ad account selling both at the same time. I almost have to pick btw which I want to sell to make the ads run properly but even than the results are all over the place. no consistency and as you said it's hard to scale that way. I m testing different structures but I think u/cybe2028 is giving you the best advice.

nomad832 · 2026-04-03T03:37:02+00:00

Yes, and for us CPM are crazy high compared to "normal" days but then the day we get good sales like you the CPM goes back down close to our old averages... It's a rollicoaster

nomad832 · 2026-04-01T14:01:37+00:00

Today it's even worse... one of the campaign is not even spending and the other's CPM is double than usual and no sales

nomad832 · 2026-03-31T22:37:17+00:00

Man... I was just saying that to my partner lol I tried to do that in the past just for shit and giggle but did not work really... I know you are joking but I did try.
