Payment methods, postage and that EU departure event....are also contributory to sales slow down.
Payment:
Is there an alternative to PayPal that UK users are aware of?
I ask this as on several occasions now I haven't been able to buy from a fellow Retrobiker because of their refusal to use PayPal (they tend to also be opposed to using eBay, no surprise there given the historic link), yet site rules suggest the use of the PayPal platform for purchasing - when collecting in person isn't practical of course
Postage:
I can understand users not wanting to post something for practical/personal/ability reasons, but again it's a restriction on making a sale if the item is strictly collection only.
Sometimes I wish I had a job which saw me driving up and down the country all the time - no trip would be completed without a bargain 'collection only' item being loaded up
