Bidders are Back, Bidders are Back, HURRAH, HURRAH!
Folks, I for one am doing the Happy Dance! For the past 4 days I have reached or at least come close to reaching my daily goal. Today, already I have past it! Keep them coming!
I usually do not post things like this here. BUT no one around me understands the thrill I get. Things have been very very slow since June. I had a fantastic MAY (best month ever) followed by the worst month ever (June). I have been lucky if I met my daily goal once a month all summer long. NOW I have 4 great days in a row.
I believe it is all the mentions of ebay on the news and such ( about a good thing for once) that are bring the people to look.
KEEP THEM COMING!
I hope things are looking up for you all too.

It started looking up since last Friday...I'm not up to "happy dance" status yet but maybe it's cuz I need to get off my butt and get more stuff listed!
Here's hoping that everybody is doing the happy dance soon!

Good for you, RichieRich!! I'm so glad sales are going well for you!!
My sales were doing pretty well until the terrorist attacks last Tuesday, and then they came to a screeching halt. But sales are starting to pick up a little bit here too.
Thanks for posting this great news and giving us hope that sales will climb again!

Congrats!
I too have noticed an increase in bids.
I have been busy listing as it helps me keep my mind busy as well.
Blessings to all,
Janet

All my BIN auctions sold at real good prices. It's been a backward year for me, my good months are bad, and bad months good. Christmas sales could be poor if this trend keeps up.

This is wonderful news, not only as far as it is great news for our auction businesses, but also it proves that a lot of people are able and determined to try resume some sort of normal activity in their daily lives.
And that's really the most important thing right now, IMO.
Good luck to us all over the coming weeks and months!

I overheard some co-workers say they were consciously spending more to help the economy? Hmmmm...

What a way to ruin my beautiful day!
Bid cancellations! Administrative Cancellation!
The bright side I guess is better now then after they win!
This was a 0 feedback, just registered person and bid last night.
At least I still met my daily goal, even after the cancellation on 4 items. One went from $41 back to $17. The others were almost as bad.
Still dancing just not as HAPPY about it!

*L* I have to agree they must be back. I had a fairly good day. A lot better than I had expected. Well, tonight, I decided to relist, and put BIN on all the stuff. I was really confused when I saw the green item in my seller section. *L* My first thought was an Ebay glitch? I KNOW I had JUST listed that item. It seems it actually sold within 2 minutes 23 seconds from when I listed. Plus, he bought 2 other items. I've been smiling since

What wonderful news to hear! So far it's not come to the Northeast-- I was, quite frankly getting very discouraged and doing a lot of soul searching! Thanks for the uplift!

Yes indeed they are.
And while I was unpacking stuff to put in a b&m space, someone bought something before I put it on the shelf!
Good luck to all this xmas season!

I am happy for you. My auctions are not doing as well. Fact is mine are at a 3 year low.

Yes, bidding is getting there. The way I see it is if you have hot items up they will go regardless of the mood. Low end stuff will always be low end stuff. Cant wait to pound the garage sales in the morning!! Good luck to all!!
