A sudden drop in book sales, help please
hi everyone.
I apologize in advance if this topic repeats .
I am a relatively new seller (3 months). I only sell books.
I have noticed a sudden drop in book sales. It happened literally overnight.
I would like to emphasize that nothing has changed in my activities on Amazon. I have 100 percent positive feedback, low prices, and the most sought-after books.
My sales dropped suddenly, as I mentioned, by as much as 60-70% overnight.
Has anyone had such experiences, or could anyone share their thoughts?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you still listing new inventory on a regular basis? Managing to maintain a decently-sized inventory?

I’ve sold 3 or 4 items this year. You sell on the whims of the buyers. If they aren’t buying your items regularly there is nothing sinister about it. It has nothing to do with your account. Also, if you search the forum you will see a number of similar posts.
Why do people think that selling on Amazon is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? And then freak out when they don’t have a sale for 24 hours?

you write out off topic. I sell books, and books sell regardless of people’s whim. I am quite a recent seller on Amazon, but when it comes to books, I have a lot of experience. I asked this question because I do not know Amazon algorithms well yet and the question is aimed at experienced sellers who are definitely here. nevertheless thanks for your comment and wish you improved sales.

ok thank you for your help, your tips are valuable to me. I hope that I will be able to repay you somehow.
last question, according to your experience it is better to send e.g. a large number of products once a month or small parcels more often e.g. 3-5 times a week?

Many people on other sites, me included, have reported a drop in sales volumes since the beginning of November, all sorts of things affect, sales levels, and regularity of sales, Halloween and Bonfire Night, are additional costs for many people and may have affected disposable income for many, the four week lockdown in England may also cause concern for potential buyers, though sales of book have increased significantly during the first lock down.
I agree with other posters that continually adding new stock increases sales
