Has anyone else who sells on eBay seen REALLY decreased sales recently?

I've sold on eBay for 23 years now, just casually on and off when I feel like it, and I've sold a LOT of things, from electronics to toys to clothing-- just everything.

But this year is incredibly strange. I've had no sales since January, absolutely 0, which is extremely unusual. Three whole months, nothing. I think this is a first. Some months I may only sell a couple things, but it's usually SOMETHING.

I suspect eBay is pushing down listings of sellers who don't pay for their 'promoted' listings. I tried doing some of those, and saw no increased sales when I did it, so I stopped. Sure, you get so many free listings now but why would I pay a final value fee AND a promoted listing fee, when I see no difference in sales? No thanks.

I have almost 60 things listed in my store, too. And they're all priced pretty decently-- as cheap as I can, with rising shipping rates now, etc.

It's just weird.

Are you all seeing this too? Is it the economy? Something else?
