I couldn't even put any auctions up this evening! "My eBay" and the selling setup pages surrounding it were non responsive! - Thanks eBay!

Lot of people probably paying off Christmas debts at this time no doubt thats one factor.

Yes it has really dropped off this last week or so, I don't expect it to pick up again until Feb - March. What really surprised me was how strong demand was just after Xmas, I thought everyone would be buying before Xmas. I put up some PSP's after Xmas to see what demand there was and everything got snapped up well before the listings even finished. I'll be ready next year!

It usually is after the Christmas season... no different than most retailers.

A sale every 2-3 days for me and recently I put up auctions and i'm getting very few views and low winning bids. I was selling items for £10-£15 that usually go for £20-25, Im only doing Buy It Now listings and shop inventory but no-one seems interested.

Today I bought 2 PS3 Games, Call Of Duty 1 @ £20 and 1 @ £30.
If I were selling these I would wait until the PS3 UK release because atm not much demand for games unless you have an imported console.
Gonna wait until march and list these and get a good little bit of profit lol
