Well, that has nothing to do with you personally. It is all about the demand for the products one sells and their asking price.

Many folks are worn out from the holiday, may take a few days to recoup. Others out at the B&M's today, trying to find the best deal. Our sales are about normal, same as Thanksgiving Day.
Weather also might be a factor, since many mid-west and eastern states are either feeling the effects of a snow-dump or bracing for it. Some places have power outages.
Inflation went up a tiny bit last month-it's far from tamed. Folks don't have $$ despite all the calming statements by government/financial entities and we've definitely lowered our expectations for the season.

Yeah, especially after all the major disasters occurring atleast my local area has little to no desire for spending money on gifts.
Amazon selling is dying because of global warming!

The competition on Amazon has gone up 5x for virtually every product category in the past 2 years.
Also, Amazon has become a slave to China and is allowing them to absolutely destroy USA businesses.
USA customers have also become extremely dumbed down and started shopping on trash marketplaces like Temu just to save a few bucks.
This combination of factors has destroyed ecommerce as a full time income for many North American based sellers.

Our slowest holiday season so far in 16 years in Amazon even though we added much more products on Amazon constantly , while our brick and mortar doing 2-3 times better. I know economy is bad ,especially past 2 years but in my opinion Amazon decided to make money on irrelevant clicks where we have no way to track who is clicking on our ads on what state or country and such. They ruined the search and removed the relevancy filter which skyrocketed the advertising costs on Amazon. This is basically Amazon itself doing and promoting click fraud within their terms to make it look like it is legal. However karma never fails so this kind of unethical business practice is not sustainable and one day or other they will face serious issues within. Even Amazon business team declined to answer about the relevancy filter being removed, which is a clear proof of they are fully aware that what they are doing is very unethical but want that easy click money. So those ads costs has to be added to the product then prices went up and with full of China based sellers flooding the search results, most of the sellers sales tanked and will continue to tank unless Amazon finally realize this issue and fix search results and bring back the relevancy filter. Otherwise my 6th sense telling me somewhere in the future they will face real serious issues.
