No sales?

Are the royalty reports lagging today?  I never go all morning without sales and my reports show no sale since 1049pm yesterday.. which is extremely odd for me. Did my products fall off the map?  Any one else noticing this or just me?😩

Seems like it ended up a lag in reporting.. this was a one day thing although April 16th was a bit slow ended the day with 32 sales. So the slow start was me panicking.. lol   Sales seem decent. Now. Back to normal. Some days better than others.. over 400 sales for the month so far .. so not complaining. Yet . 🤪😜

when I researched what was happening for me, I discovered that when a product is out-of-stock -- even though there may be alternative brand choices -- it disappears from searches and filters.  Could that be part of your problem?  I am currently trying to find someone to resolve that issue.

No.. I sell mostly paper products. Usually have at least a few sales overnight in the wee morning hours and in the early 8 to 9 central timeframe.. nada until a few minutes ago.. 9 sales came thru .. 2 customers. Between 8 and 830 pacific.. weird.. I always worry if I complain in the forum my products leave the view of the customer.. paranoid I guess.. lol

Had a few sales this morning. Nothing earthshattering to write home about, but weekends, especially long weekends tend to be quiet for me.

My last sale was 10.30am UK time or 5.30 am US time. 

EDIT: I just compared number of sales for today re this time to yesterday re this time and it seems about same?

Maybe because it's Easter weekend.

I notice sometimes that the sales are happening but they are block posted closer to the end of the afternoon and evening. Perhaps we'll see them later. And what Cat said.

The 14th was my no sale day.  fortunately it's  not happening as often as it used to for me but I noticed at my other platforms including eBay, sales are slow all over.

No sales at all for the last two days. I take that back, I just got one, still going 2 days with no sales is unusual for me.

I haven't had a sale for 5 days. I'm not a big seller but this is a bit unusual. Also, changing the subject some... My number of total sales went down 1 a few days ago and, going back well over a month,  I can't see what product was canceled.

My sales have completely tanked this month too. While 9 days is only a very small number, my sales are currently down 61% in comparison to this time last month. 

I really hope it's due to the time of year etc, but personally my fear is because of price rises.

I was mainly selling non-wedding invitations on the flat paper sheets that recent increased in price from $0.65 to something like $1.3. I appreciate that $0.65 is very cheap for a wedding invitation, but I'm not sure as many people would spend that same amount of money on smaller events such as a birthday invite, baby shower or gender reveal. I hope I am wrong though.

I have noticed that "other designs you may like" has not been appearing on product pages quite frequently within the past couple of weeks.

If it IS due to price increases, I think they will again pick up, since zazz is still a great site to navigate. I do think though, that some more in situ images are badly needed, I am sure this is being worked on. I believe just front and back are no longer good enough, online stores of any kind (that is department stores, speciality stores selling local goods) all have in situ on major items such as duvets, linen. Zazz needs to stepup in this regard, because in situ can help buyers visualise the item so much better.

Not sure where one adds to a conversation. The first or the last post?  Anyway I have had no sales today and it has me quite upset. My husband keeps telling me it is the economy which is probably part of it but nothing is hard to look at. I hope it is one of the lags reported at earlier dates. I am thinking perhaps it has something to do with the added contest. That and when payments are made, which is near, things get slowed down. Although that usually happens to me on the first of the month. Oh well, I sure hope things get better.
