eBay Traffic Down Again

If your eBay sales have gone down and you are left to wonder if there is anyone viewing your eBay listings, an article on Auction Bytes revealed that eBay traffic has gone down for both months of April and May, consecutively month by month and year-on-year. Dramatically too, I should say. In comparison, Amazon traffic has been quite steady and not only that, page view count was steady as well and more consistent.

eBay and Amazon have been fighting to lead with higher unique visitors and page views. Which will win in the end is difficult to determine right now as both have different business models, although with recent changes, eBay is increasingly trying to be like Amazon.

Anyway, if you are trading online, try not to place all your eggs in one basket. There's eBay, there's Amazon and there are quite a few other rapidly growing online marketplaces. All you need is time to experiment to see which one works best for your products.
