·3 weeks ago · EditedPlease don't take this the wrong way but I wouldn't buy from you, your listings are a very random selection which usually either means drop shipping from other retailers or some kind of fulfilment of generic rubbish from China that is cheaper from China directly.
Sellers who do this make money by have tens of thousands of listings picking up exposure by sheer volume and that is what you need, you simply won't get many sales from 16 listings. If you are actually holding this stock you are competing against sellers who don't who are earning a very small amount per sale as there is very little risk and a lot of competition in this model.
I'm absolutely amazed people are still buying branded razor blades on eBay, I'd wager my right arm 99% of them are fake (not to imply yours are, just I wouldn't take the chance).

·3 weeks agoTake a look at the same items being sold by your competitors.
Look at their prices are yours better?
Can you sell yours cheaper, even by 50p if there's a vast choice for buyers to choose from they can select a Best Match option ' Lowest price' , to show those items first in listings.
Buyers will more likely choose the cheapest item, if faced with a multitude of choice.

It might not get you more sales but you might at least get some visibility.

·3 weeks agoI would get rid of the UK flag and best seller etc logos. They will show on eBay, but Google shopping will block them.
Just looked up one of your products word for word on Google shopping, asking for eBay sellers. Lots of similar eBay items showing. None of which had logos on them, and yours was not there. So by adding flags and logos like this you are missing out on free advertising.

·3 weeks agoi'm not a pro seller, but I am a buyer of small items like shoulder and elbow braces etc. I thought your listings were good, not full of errors, like many and actually gave the information i would look for. I dislike the Union jack on pictures. I think items should be made here for that. What would put me off ordering from you - the delivery time frame. I'm guessing you are a drop shipper, nothing wrong with that, but I like my items 2 or 3 days later. if i have to wait longer, I may as well get it cheaper at T-Mu! Good luck though.

Phones and other tech sell well on ebay.
