I know that correlation does not imply causation, but wanted to share this:
Our store has been super quiet and this week it was especially quiet. We haven’t been getting messages/questions, offers nothing… *tumbleweeds*
We’d already been spending time on the phone several times with eBay this week asking them to check our account because of some actual technical issues that we have encountered in our dashboard area that were concerning us.
After a call with them yesterday was when I noticed the error on the mobile-checker. My husband decided to go into our highest priced items and do the mobile-checker fix last night, just to get started and try it out, and before we even went to bed we had 2 separate messages with offers on one of the items, 1 offer on another, and a question on yet another!
Again – not sayin’ it’s related, but it is very odd!
That link is interesting; I was surprised to see the stat on the women vs men income – and the article it linked to was also an interesting read. When I told my husband that he told me to keep his account when dies and continue to use that lol
I’m reopening/re-upping this thread because of something we noticed with the new eBay updates for mobile-friendly stores.
I haven’t read through all of the comments above, but wanted to note this since it’s just now doing it for us.
Our store got the ‘mobile friendly’ update yesterday, and when I went into Safari on my iPhone and checked our store it looked GREAT!
—-UNTIL—- I went into our descriptions.
The font is TINY! (Ryanne and Jay I checked yours, and same for your descriptions for me)
I thought maybe it was a bump in the rollout and didn’t think anything of it because of that.
But today something had me click on the mobile-friendly checker button and the description had a “Viewport meta tag incorrect or missing” error and when I clicked fix it for me, the font size was as it should be.
We were already trying to go through old listings and check categories etc, but now there is something else on our to-do list.
Should this be a priority or is this something we are ok working through normally.
It looks fine on the app, and I wonder how many people actually use eBay on their phones via browser versus the app, but there must be a reason they put all of that effort into making the stores “mobile friendly” instead of working on other things, right?
Interested to hear y’alls thoughts!

Oh my gosh, Habnab – you are right – it is! Thank you so much!!
I have to ask – what did you use for finding that? I’m just realizing I didn’t do a Google Reverse Image Search… Is that what you did?
And again: Thank you!!!
I checked WorthPoint and there was nothing on there either.
That’s a really pretty cover
Hi, Northernpinesgallery! Thank you 🙂
That’s great news! They seemed to sell for good prices, based on my Worthpoint research, and it’s good to hear it directly/have confirmation from someone who had that result as well.
I’ll update you on how it goes!
The back of the print has an informational printout about him and his gallery and it mentions that he was descended from Cades Cove pioneers and Cherokee Indians!
Hi Mike –
Thanks – yeah, I was wondering if it may be a harder-to-find print since I can’t find it anywhere either. All of the prints seem to have names and there are no identifying marks on this one. The back does contain an informational printout about him and his gallery, which was helpful.
I meant to circle around sooner and say that the original responses made sense. Thanks for the insight! I’ll stick to my cheap prince on my Fantasia VHS lol
agree, T-Satt – we sell a variety: a lot of unique and vintage items, but also items like used iPhone and iPads (not current generation, but recent generations) – they were selling steady, yet none of our new listings we put up in April (all GTC) have sold, so that was the part that sounded alarms for me as I read through the discussion.
This is a very interesting discussion and is timely for us.
When we started we had every listing at 30 days, based on the idea that we’d want to check the titles, photos, etc while we were learning and improving our listing skills. Beginning the end of March, we starting switching them to GTC when relisting and creating new listings.
Nearly all of our sales are now GTC.
Our sales plummeted in April and are still in a tail-spin.
Not sure if this is an example of correlation doesn’t imply causation in our case, but I’m definitely switching back to 30 days and giving it a try.
Plan of action is to work through them over the next several days, starting with the oldest and most watched.
Will see…

We had that issue when we added an eBay extension to our Safari browser. Do you have eBay extensions on your browser? It went away once we removed the extension (can’t recall what the extension was though)
That’s a great find!
I listened to one recently, may be the same one, where R & J were discussing it and I’ve been on the lookout for a pair ever since too lol
always a good reminder, Jay. It will be interesting to see how things sort out after we have a year under our belt, and especially interesting to see the comparison over the years.
>> “So our thought is why not take the highest price of Ebay and price even higher still and then try not to sell below the highest price. If everybody would do this then the Sold prices would start to climb not decline. And as Jay & Ryanne have said many times, sooner or later your item will be the only one showing on any particular day. In other words we try to create a situation whereby the highest price sold is ours and we try to target bringing the rpices up on the unique, eclectic items, not drag the prices lower and lower.”
@MDC Galleries — that is our thinking as well. For example, we purchased a leather covered elephant at an estate sale in January, and when I looked on eBay was shocked to see there were five others listed with prices ranging from $5.00 to $75. I was so happy to see that someone was willing to go ahead and list it higher rather than cheapening it, especially after seeing what it historically has sold for. I refuse to cheapen items, because I think it really affects and impacts all of us in the eclectic/funky/unique items for the reasons you mentioned.
