I think it is a little bit of everything above. Not sure if it's because credit card bills from Christmas are coming in, or the winter weather that most of the country is just now finally getting, or what ........ but my sales have fallen off across the board over the past couple weeks. Even sales that are not sports related (which are my "bread and butter" when it comes to ebay) have fallen way off. I guess if there isn't anybody buying ...... people aren't selling either.
I'm sure the post office thing has people ticked off (im one of them) but Fed-ex is picking up the slack nicely and offering a pretty steep discount right now. Most cards either get sent "First Class" or "Priority" and neither of those shipping methods have been affected .... well except for the slight cost increases. I'm sure Fed-ex is trying to pick up on the USPS Parcel Post products (mostly what i ship) and they are doing a pretty good job of snagging up the extra business right now.
