About the time you first posted, there were numerous problem For one thing, google changed it's search algorithms to something less favorable to ebay. For another, there were security breaches with ebay passwords. If that's not enough, there were numerous outages later in the year due to ebay going to the cloud, also the new global shipping program which added Fedex complexities to the picture, and the looming presence of Carl Icahn forcing layoffs and a split from paypal.

I have been doing okay with my unique items but it's never consistent. May be trying BigCommerce soon.

Let me know if you have any questions, have grown sales about 3x over the past two years. TRS+
