Been a member for 15 yrs and haven't seen it so slow,even on $1 auctions. This includes the whole yr.
Never seen current issues sell so slow either. Competition from other sites?

Probably the ridiculousness of selling a card for $1 and shipping is $3.

I bet if shipping was more like $2.25-2.50 or free shipping offered, $1 auctions might pick up on ebay.

The only $1 cards I've won were being the only bidder on a card I expected to finish higher than the shipping fee, making the ship fee seem more reasonable when considering whether to setup a snipe bid.

By $1 i mean the starting price, and i charge $1.75 on those. Maybe with Draft coming soon things will pick up.

If that's true then it's going to get much worse next year when the postal rates get jacked up again. It's going to cost close to $3 to ship any package from 0-8 ounces :(

I sometimes have 2000 items on ebay with flat rate of $3 for single card auctions and most of the time the buyers only buy 1 card. smh

I started doing .80 for shipping in PWE I put that in the description but I think eBay is gonna force you to have tracking which might make Twitter or FB more popular for low end inserts

It's the shipping that's why you need to list all lot at one time. It might be time to move on to another way of selling.

It might be time to quit. Creating jobs for mail carriers, clerks, graders and whoever else.
