Is anyone else seeing a drastic drop in sales over the last couple of months? I'm down by $1-200 a fortnight on what I used to earn. This is way more than usual fluctuations. I'm worried.

Sales are a disaster. I thought it was just me...

I don't know what's wrong, but i have the same problem my sales used to be more than twice of what it is now and i have been creating yet they keep decreasing rather than increasing which doesn't make sense at all. This is not right. We put in real work, effort and time into our creations so it's not right for this to happen. I wanted to talk about this months ago tbh. ​i'm glad it's not just me who is facing this problem. And this problem really needs to be addressed ASAP because it's affecting many well known creators.

Yep... sales has been dropping it feels like IMVU controls our sales or whatever. Maybe the shop is bugged or not in sync anymore since people still using client. I have no idea. Whatever it is. Its not fair because all of us. or most of us depending on imvu as IRL work seeing this happen isn't cool. Please fix it.​

Wow I had no idea so many people were experiencing the same thing. My sales plummeted SO bad last year and hasn’t recovered literally at all. I figured my era had come to it’s end, but now this thread has me thinking otherwise.

Pretty sure what might be going on is called the effed-up economy.

My sales today are even worse than they were the first time this drop happened back in March. @RigsK​ please, something is very wrong.

So I had a whopping ONE sale yesterday. ONE. As in 1 and no more numbers after that. It hasn't been this bad since I started creating. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.

@Polystyrene​  Its the staffers in charge of search again, its totally poked try some catalogue searching in the new clients. Last time they did something like this at a min you had to visit the product page of an old product to get it selling again. Avatar movie trailer was released today so I went looking for "avatar" Navi stuff.. cos I know there's hundreds of thousands in the catalogue, what's to be found in Desktop catalogue search.. ZIP

Months ago I reported to staff that ancient bundles were popping up on page one of bundles. Page one was around 50% bundles that I remember being best sellers in the day. I could have believed one making a resurgence out of nowhere, but not that many. I wonder if that issue is linked somehow to Poly's report?

Something has definitely changed - in the last couple of months an old, inactive alt account of mine has started getting some sales.

It's very sad, what's happened here. The catalog is full of ZCDs and no one cares...the good creators who have seen their incomes plummet have had to resort to leaving things derivable (which leads to ZCDs) in order to make any money at all because their sales have tanked. If they can earn money from people just relisting their items they figure why not? I don't blame them but now the catalog is full of TONS of duplicate products. Buyers end up paying more for an item that's been duplicated because they don't know how to go up the derive chain. Not that anyone's really shopping these days.

Easter was the last good day for me.Since then I lost 50% of my sales.

It feels like there is some kind of limit on the sales now.

Same amount every day.And its getting worse.Like the site is dying.

The funny thing is I keep selling old stuff here and there and the new meshes - nothing.Like they are hidden.

I dont feel like working anymore.No motivation,because It ddidnt matter how hard i tryed last few months my sales didnt get better.

Actually i have never seen them that bad.
