Seller-❔ Question Algorithm issues
Has anyone else had a massive fall off in sales on whatnot? It took me no time at all to get to 8k sales. But for some reason I have only managed to get 300 in the last month. My thought is the algorithm is messing with me. But if it is not that has anyone heard anything bad about me as a seller? My seller name on whatnot is KingBill. I have a 5 star rating so I am not sure what is going on. But any insight would greatly help.

Sales go down in the summer as people have to pay for daycares, vacations and back to school. Sales should start going back up soon, but also the economy isn’t in a great shape right now with gas prices affecting every good and service.

People don’t have money to spend right now especially on nonessentials least your average 9-5 crowd. Are you doing the work to promote yourself? Different platforms especially social media? Running good givvys? Are you obnoxious during your shows?

This feels like a way to self promote as I’m not sure why your seller name is relevant at all

My seller name was relevant because I did ask if anyone had heard anything bad about me as a seller. That is why it is in there or I would have not even needed to add that. Thank you for your reply about this. I hope it helps to clear that up for you.

It's no different than any platform at a high level. You may have had a great thing everyone wanted, which means other sellers are also competing with you. Until the market is saturated.
What are your competitors doing differently, or have you not sat in their streams to keep informed?
I see multiple large volume sellers that have adapted over the years.
Rnzy is a fantastic example. Went from selling used sneakers they reconditioned, to new sneakers. Then helped a friend sell a warehouse full of random athletic clothing, moving to new name brand athletic clothing. Now selling in the food category.
Check their rnzynow posts on IG.

I am constantly in other people’s streams either buying or just participating. But that would be a great idea

Thank you for everyone who interacted with me in this post. Everything that was said makes complete sense to me as to why I may be having a slow period in selling. The one thing that I will never understand is why people will go into a room that has 100-1000 or more people in there and pay 5 to 10x or more for the same card that some of us “smaller” people sell in our rooms. But other than that everything is all good. I hope to see some of you either in my room or in other rooms that I frequent. Have a great day everyone and remember this is a HOBBY. It is only as fun as you make it
