Im glad its not just me, the last three days are the worst i've had for about 2 months! Not just by like £5 either, im down by quite a lot!

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday have been the best days of the month for me, but yesterday (Wednesday) was absolutely horrendous! First day in god knows how long that I didn't make a single penny in commission.

Really not sure why as traffic and PPC clicks were at normal levels, but for some reason no one bought.

I wonder how much the news of the credit crunch is affecting people, especially as it has been featured so heavily the last couple of days. Already, I`ve had 2 things affect me personally as a result of it, and i`m sure things are going to get worse.

Hi,
As a merchant we have noticed a slow down last couple of days, as people know they are not going to be getting their orders until after the Easter break due to couriers not working.
This may have something to do with the slowdown you are seeing.

Yeah same as you TBP, im seeing the same. PPC is fine but sales are terrible and i mean really bad! I had enough to pay off the ppc for the day but thats it, not much profit. Lets hope its just the easter break thats causing it!

Apparently Easter this year is the earliest it has been for 95 years, so I wonder if that could be something to do with it, as well as other factors such as rising energy/fuel costs, credit crunch etc.

I would not worry. We ourselves are quieter than usual today but we are putting that down to the easter break. The same thing happens the last few days before Christmas and Valentines online. They know they won’t get there goods before the holidays.

Cool - thats re-assuring
