What happened to people making offers and asking questions on ebay?
I have an ebay account I occasionally sell a few things on every once in a while. About 40 listings. I'm not a typical collector/seller of run of the mill same old same old cards (nothing wrong with that of course). I have lots of unique and cool things that are often the only examples listed for sale online.
My question is, why do I never get any questions or offers on listings? I definitely used to get several questions a week just a few years ago. Now there's seldom a peep, and never any offers. How bad has it gotten? Why are people so scared to make an offer? My thought process is people just don't do BiNs anymore. If it's not an auction there's zero traction. Probably some kind of algorithm suppression is my assumption. The views are terrible. My posts here on n54 with a gazillion less people get 50x the views in a day compared to ebay with a huge audience. It's really unexplainable and Extremely frustrating. Let me know your thoughts.

Concur. I think people just assume all BINs are just museum prices and don't even bother to look. Try running an auction with your BIN as an opening bid, bet you get more views.

Yeah, I am in this boat the last few years of crazy BINs too. If it’s not in my saved searches, I likely miss it. I have been using auction only search most of the time to avoid useless overpriced clutter in the results.

Maybe
Maybe if your items are very unique or unusual people arent finding them.... Im not really good at perusing eBay so I just use a few key phrases every once in a while..... but occasionally I will run across something great by accident.... so maybe you need to have more "mainstream" headings? I speak as a total novice here......
