I’ve been like this for 2 weeks my buy box is constantly between 96 - 100% and sales are as little as 1 - 2 orders a day. Never had it like this before in 8 years so you’re not alone.

Ironically we are 12% up on the last two weeks, but saying that we are still 18% down on last quarter and 30% down on same period last year, although to be fair we had a ridiculous busy spell 12 months ago so that was to expected. I guess it will depend on what category you are selling in. Sales will start to pick up quickly now with Christmas getting ever closer

My sales are 60% down on last year. But yes the last few days for me have been unusually quiet - considering its payday!!!

Yep, big drop last week but remember this is historically a slow period. We always see a drop off in early October then a steady ramp up as the month comes to a close. Here’s hoping. However, amazon like for like sales get lower every year. Going to be our last year or 2. It’s beem great at times with people paying silly money for old tat in the early days.

Wednesday Thursday Friday this week sales have dived by 50-60% we did some testing and listing visibility has been sporadic since Wednesday, we’ve also experienced disappearing stock from inventory i.e. had stock for an ASIN stock dissipated for a day went to re-list the stock it reappeared in inventory plus what I just added doubling QTY of the ASIN in question.
Amazon technical must be tinkering again.

I’m quite relieved to see this question - I thought it was just me. Plummeted - though I have learnt it does happen from time to time, for no apparent reason.
