A search for sideboard cabinet for example comes up with 15000 results, that is why you are not getting much interest or finding it yourself.

You need to improve the title and hope it produces more views.

You have good photos, plenty of item specifics, but I agree with John your title needs rethinking to make it and out a or at least come higher up the search pages as there are 16,000 similar items.

eBay say the first 4 words are the most important, as those are the ones buyers use to search for items.

Check out the other sideboard items listed, the ones near the top include how many drawers and compartments the cabinet holds. Maybe change yours to something similar?

You listed the shed with a reserve so you will have to pay the fee of 4% of the reserve price even if the shed doesn't sell.

Collection only items are always tricky, especially big, hard to move items like a shed.

If you relist them, I would suggest you list as 'buy it now' rather than auctions.

If you want to auction the shed, don't set a reserve as that is expensive for you and may put people off bidding anyway.

You may find it better to advertise big items like these locally so people can come and have a look at them before committing to buy.
