Where have all the bidders gone?

The recession is making its presence known in many shapes and forms. I'm sure that everyone in the USA is being affected by the recession whether directly or indirectly.

As an eBay Powerseller, I've personally seen the the effects on sales this summer. I've never seen anything like this before. I've got 4 times as many items in my store this summer than what I had last summer and yet my store traffic is less than it was last year at this time. The number of bids has been way down as well as buy it now format items. I'm not sure if everyone is traveling because it is summer and the weather has been great for vacations and camping, or if the lack of sales is due to the tightening of everyone's spending because of the recession.

I'd love to hear back from other eBay sellers to hear how you are surviving this summer slump in this nasty recession. I'll peronally invite you all to visit my eBay Store at www.donnydixonsattic.com
