Sales gone to from not great to stopped altogether
Anyone else’s sales really died in the last few weeks. I seemed to be doing okay (Ive never sold a huge amount, not sure why) and then suddenly nothing its like im not being seen anymore. Even my FBA seems to have stopped.
I have been changing my titles (to try and increase sales) and increasing the amount of words in them (keeping to around 150) just wondering if that can cause a problem and Amazon needs to catch up again.
Can someone do a check on a listing and tell me there is something im doing wrong please.

If you post a couple of your ASIN’s other sellers will be able to have a look at those listings.
Have you checked you holiday settings, some sellers have occasionally mentioned these have been turned on without their knowledge

Your listings look fine generally.
I see that a few have reasonable ranks, up into the 15000’s on handmade.
However, I have no idea what those kind of ranks should be selling at.
But I would imagine that Jewellery industry wide, would be seeing a slump currently.
Why spend on jewellery if your not going out?
If your looking for sales, maybe think along the lines of a more FMCG type product, just to keep things turning over.
Otherwise your only real alternative, is to hit the adverts. Which I think wouldn’t help a great deal, whilst we are still in lockdown.

Yes, I’ve found the same. Was ticking along nicely, then last week just dropped off completely.

Hi, I have also noticed that sales have dropped dramatically in the last 3-4 weeks. I don’t have an explanation.

I think that people are losing faith with Amazon and similar sites. There seem to be an increasing number of lost items, and prices seem to have risen dramatically since the pandemic started. Some people may also be concerned about items being delivered that could carry the virus. I’m not sure how changing your wording could affect sales.

Checking my listing using my phone i see most listings say only one item in stock and its never mine. When I use the lap top its okay everything is visible. So if buyers are shopping marketplace via phone they will not be able to see all the options for sale. I’m selling books BTW so don’t know about other things.

Something’s not right, I just tried searching " Rose Pink Rhinestone Crystal Earrings, Antique Brass, Silver, Gold,16mm Stone, Wedding Earrings, Gift For Her, Lead and Nickle Free, Gift Box" on Amazon and your listing doesn’t show, but does show if searched in Handmade. Whereas if I searched another sellers handmade title on Amazon ‘All Departments’, it does come up in the search results. Maybe check if any listings have been suppressed. I know that I’ve had plenty of listings suppressed due to having titles with Gift etc. I am not experienced in the handmade or Jewellery section so maybe has exceptions but I even find if a product has something like ‘would make a great gift for…’ in the title it would get suppressed, and I’ve also found when trying to update a product description with a similar phrase, the gift part would end up having to be removed as Amazon says this is prohibited text. Which is quite annoying when you are selling something that has a gift box included.

Why do you choose to have the customisation option rather than several listings with the different options - ie gold, silver, brass etc. Whilst the negative search never works (if at all?) on the amazon search pages, you are potentially excluding yourself being found on google search - ie if I am looking for “silver rose rhinestone earrings -gold” - your listing won’t show up. As a buyer on Amazon when shown lots of listings in my search I will only look at photos, so if I search silver earrings and your main photo shows brass, I won’t click it. Just my 2p worth re your listings, the actually listing looks great.
In general to answer your question my sales are up but in products that have benefitted (sadly) people not being able to get out to bricks and mortar stores. With questions like this there will always be sellers who say sale are slow and sales are up. Perhaps jewellery, especially special occasion jewellery has taken a hit due to current circumstances. Hopefully this will change for you soon.
