E-Commerce Growth Slowing Faster Than Thought

The only "slowing" many sites are experiencing is due to the current, and customary, down-swing from vacation time. This is the peak. Kids get out of summer school, off they go.

Even so, my sales on Amazon, though slowing some, still continue to roll in.

Ebay, however, is in the process of tanking. It is amusing that over the course of the last 2 weeks I've run into several of the very people whose positive comments got me to selling on ebay a few years ago in the first place.

Absolutely NONE of them trades on ebay whatsoever anymore. And haven't in awhile. And have no desire to return. Only 2 sold but were mostly buyers. The rest were strictly buyers.

They buy elsewhere now. All the posters were right after all! Imagine that! Sellers are buyers. Strictly buyers hate what's happen to their sellers, and/or can't find the special items anymore. It's a different place.

And they hate the atmosphere pervasive at ebay now!
