I looked for your patches on GS and found 3.
I think a good many of my buyers come from GS as I don't do social media and now sell little on obay so they don't come from there and flyers I put in with the items I do manage to sell.
Another thing that might have helped is I list something new every week and show-case it on the "Plug Your Auction" (PYA) Forum for a week. When I started doing that I thought it was good to get over 20 views for an item. Now I'm disappointed if I don't get 45 - 50.
One last thing that possibly helps as we don't have a transaction counter and less than half my buyers leave FB is to always leave FB for my buyers. For one thing I know that I've sold 129 items so far on ebid (over 50 of them since 2020) and if new-to-ebid buyers are looking at my FB they might see that I've sold more than my 73 FBs imply.
Most of the above is quick and easy to do and if nothing else, gives you some food for thought on how to start getting sales here again. Good luck.
