Struggling to sell

[ellengriffiths95]

Hi all!

just wondering if anyone had any tips, or if anyone had any advice on my listings etc to help?

ive queued 5-10 items a day to auto post in hopes consistency helps.

 Thanks!

August is a low sales month...My sales picked up from Sept last year till Nov. The things which I know about is films / TV series in special packaging and DVDs are pretty much dead as resell goes. I would do them in lot sales or give to charity.  One interesting item is Duel as this is an old dead style Steelbook as the format has changed from G1 to a G2 size for Blu-rays / 4K. I would increase the price to maybe £30 / best offer and put G1 Steelbook in the title and description state this an old style Steelbook and bigger than the new Steelbooks. you may get a bite 🙏

Yes, listing consistently definitely helps. But other things are important too.

Titles: use all the space to put keywords that Buyers are looking for. For example one of your most expensive items is only 'Woolen coat'. If I wrote a title for this I would say: something like Villain Long Coat XL Cashmere Wool Angora Charcoal Grey Chest 50 (or whatever the size is).

Descriptions: add the item measurements, such as chest size and length.

Photos: Camera phone and white background are fine. Good lighting is essential. Try to take them straight on (so the item doesn't look warped).

And also check Completed listings: If none have sold in the last three months, then you are going to have to wait a long time for a Buyer to come along.

Good luck selling!

Don't use AI descriptions.

I would suggest stop worrying too much about it.  I stopped selling on here because of SD and am on two other sites now and i do car boots (off to one shortly!) and they are all terrible at the moment.   Things may pick up in a few years time........

My only constructive advice would be.......when selling any clothes put the brand in the title.    Buyers often search by brand

One thing that stands out for me is lack of size in the title for clothing. I don’t search by refining by size. I put what Im looking for in the search box then skim read the results.

Few things.

You need first to look at your prices.  You are selling items that are quite expensive for what they are.

For instance that Marvel Thor T shirt, is a George by Marvel and is unlikely to sell for much more than a fiverr (inc post).
You are currently selling it for £8.64 + £2.94 post.  It probably cost that brand new.

Your titles need updating so that they reflect the brand, the size and any extra detail that you can add.
And you need to include actual measurements within the listing.

Lastly, it is a quiet time of year, with 100 odd listings selling clothing, you will be lucky to sell a dozen a month.  You need to have a lot more for consistent sales.
Get them listed on Vinted as well, you will probably find that they will go quicker, though for much less than here.

I agree with everything everyone else has said pluss add photos with your own measurments showing. I looked at this one: green spotty dress. It's Primark and has the £8 tag on show. With BPF and postage you are selling for more than Primark did. You will be lucky if this sells at more than £2/3. Plus £3 postage plus BPF.
