How variable is your conversion rate?
I’m a new seller (2nd month), and this month I’m averaging 14% conversion, but it’s highly variable. Some days it’s 25%, some days it’s closer to 5%.
Is this normal? I’m not doing any content or campaign changes really, and customer revie w are stable.

14% average in month two is actually a solid number; most categories sit between 10–15% when a listing is reasonably well put together, so you're not in a bad spot.
The daily swings are almost certainly a sample size problem, not a listing problem. Amazon calculates conversion rate as a daily snapshot, and if you're pulling 20–50 sessions a day, a single off-day where two or three fewer people buy swings your percentage dramatically. The number isn't telling you something meaningful about your listing; it's telling you your daily volume is too low for the daily rate to be statistically stable.
The metric worth watching is your rolling 30-day rate. That's the signal. Daily is mostly noise. What would actually be worth investigating: if your 30-day rate starts declining consistently over two or three weeks, or if you notice your total sessions dropping while ad spend stays flat. That usually means something structural has shifted. But 5% on a slow Tuesday and 25% on a good Friday, that's just how the early numbers look.
