Hello members, I have seen something unusual since my last few sales. Previously whenever an item used to sell I could immediately see that it had been added in basked by a few other buyers too (I know that's an Etsy thing and it may be true or not) also I would see some likes on that product in the following day after the sale although in my past 2 months I don't see any boost in the listing that made a sale. I can see that the listing is not getting that visibility boost as it used to be, I don't see this happening in my other shop. I even don't see any activity on my recently added listings which have been almost more than a month old here and seem like completely being ignored by Etsy. Is someone else seeing the same thing happen? As we all know Etsy says that whenever a listing sells and it has more quantities it gets a boost and has more chances to sell multiple times, but that is just not happening here. I can understand sales are not guaranteed but something is definitely wrong. Any suggestions?
Is anyone having a similar experience?

There is frequency capping that can happen.
You won't see the in cart because you are running a sale.
I doubt anything is wrong. Your boost ended some time ago for this store. I don't know about the quantity bit as my shop is strictly OOAK but your competition is probably quite high and other sellers may be doing better with being selected.
BTW you do know you are to place information about having more than one store in your public profile.
@PrimFun Thank you for your response, I know that "in cart" is not visible when there are ongoing sales, however, I have been witnessing this before when I began with the holiday sale. I have mentioned here in my shop that I have another store as well, which public profile are you referring it to? I have declared it here.
Usually I see the same type of activity after a sale containing multiple items available for purchase. That particular item suddenly gains views, favorites and is sometimes is added to multiple carts. These are not always best selling items. Sometimes it's a first sale for the listing so they wouldn't fall under any frequency cap. Recently none of my sales have led to increases in activity. But neither has positive posted reviews, adding new works or any other type of positive action. So I don't believe this change is specifically attached to a sale. Each listing seems to be individual now and have a similar value. This may be another test, a fluke or a change? It's equally possible that the market is just "this" slow.
