AFAICT, it’s missing a comma after bloot and that confuses the automatic translators
→ “Women naked, trade dead.”

Orders are slow for me too in the USA. People travel more. Sometimes I can go
days without an order even with sale prices.

Two main reasons.

Summer: Outdoor and vacations, so less indoor play or spending on it.

Economy: Most all frequent buyers are feeling the tightening economies world
round, as such with high cost of living it makes for less non-necessity purchases
as well.

I don't think money is a problem, it is more the time people have to invest:
holiday, vacation, parks, sports, boating. They don't have time to sit down
and buy parts.

That's impressive enough with an inventory of 10,000 pieces.

Otherwise it's just the summer lull, just about everyone experiences a slow
down from June 1 to September 1. You should be able to pull up your sales history
(not order details) and see the trends. New inventory always helps.

your tiny store had 6 orders a day, and you have a $5 minimum. Is that what you
are claiming?

seems exaggerated to me, personally



Summer is always slow. Be happy to have anything. I've had summers where
I've sold next to nothing, and my store is larger than yours.


Ironically, this summer seems to be decent so far
