Our traffic is down over 10% compared to last month, I figured there would be a slight increase with over 3400 items now listed in core.In March we only had around 500 FP listings in core yet received 10% more pageviews , this month there are over 3400 items in core with less pageviewsIs traffic down that much on Ebay?? or is it something else? any input would be appreciatedRegardsRon

The old advice about not putting all your eggs in one basket is sage advice. I’ve had my own web store for over five years and it definitely helps to have sources of sales other than eBay and sources of traffic other than Google.
I suspect traffic is down sellers based on the eBay Store to Core and also recent Google search engine ranking positions.
For eBay, we need to be patient. For those Store sellers that don’t find the nickel listing fee palatable, they will delist some items. As slow performers, get pulled, I think you’ll see the listing quality improve. You will also see your listing visibility dilution become concentrated as listing quality improves. I know one comic seller that is delisting stuff because the nickel isn’t worth it to repeatedly list a $3.00 comic.
I’m giving it another three months before listing volume and search settles down. Even though a month has passed, it is still too soon to tell.
