    Yes for sure. I think it's just a normal thing come February. I made a killing in Dec and Jan but now things have slowed down quite a bit

    Yes, it has slowed a bit. December/January is the highest spending season

    This is the time that a rekoning comes about. All those swollen credit card balances are showing up in the mail. Gotta pay for December and January first.

    Wow eBay totally dropped off the radar last two days, 80% drop in sales with the same number of clicks.

    I've seen a HUGE drop in sales recently. Maybe people aren't shopping? I can't imagine things going slowly, especially so close to Valentines day.

    November and December were both really good, but January was pathetic for me.

    My sales are up on Nov/Dec, but a lot of my sales are from Australia, and thanks to eBay.com.au's lower payouts I'm actually earning less.

    Things definitely dropped off following the December holiday season and then January, the top month for the travel industry. Just wait until those rebate checks are sent out!

    OH man, I hope those rebate checks boost my sales...probably not though, I'm in a tough niche.
