Why aren't my items getting views, etc?

[dgtbids]

As above, selling decent Dickies hoody, gametime hip hop jeans(sell well from U.S) Stronghold Plaid shirt(one went for more!) other sellers same items are selling on site as well. I have even promoted the jeans, Just about to put a carhartt t shirt on, will see how that goes.

Gosh, thanks for all that, yes lots of errors, such as Spell out, etc, will have a look, only thing i would say my levi shirt sold straight away so i do think there maybe are other issues as well at present re: lack of views.

tbh, the shoes were done ages ago, i think i will tale them off for now, tx

'lots of errors, omissions, poor pics, etc'

Hi, I agree with what suelel1968 has said about the photographs.  Also, on the shoes description, it says:

"please note image is placeholder,they are kids, but same shoe, will post originals 8/11/02"

I take it the image is no longer a placeholder, and the date doesn't make sense at all.  So even if you got a viewing of that item, buyers could be put off by the odd text.

"I had a mail for ebay they now offer telephone advice(is it good?) that I might try"

I see you've still got the magnifying glass icon on three of the images, which doesn't magnify but clicks through to large pictures of competitors' items, whiilst your item is much reduced in size.  If you do speak to ebay on the phone, I would use the opportunity to complain strongly about them using the magnifying glass on your images to send people to competitors.

 

Weirdly nearly all the competitors' listings are from the States, Australia, Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania etc.  Yet another quirk of ebay that is difficult to fathom

If you want to get more views, and, potentially sales, it might be worth spending an hour or so revising your listings.

Maybe start by doing new photos.  Look at how other sellers present their items for sale and ask yourself if yours really look as good as they can.  If they don't, a buyer will scroll onto the next item.

Have a look at how much similar items sold for.  You may have to lower your prices but private sellers do have to make tough decisions.  Do you want to sell an item for less than you think it is worth or do you want to hang onto it?

Make sure all of your description, the title etc, is 100% accurate.

I have had a close look at the blue jeans.

There is not a picture of the whole garment and the first picture, of one leg, looks as if it has been taken on an ironing board.  Pictures of the front and back, maybe taken on a carpet, might be better.

Generally, similar items sell for between £10 and £15.  Your price may just be too high.

In the title, you say W32, Leg 31.

In the details, you say Waist 34.

The picture of the label states W34/L32.

So, if I got as far as looking at the jeans, i would not feel at all confident about buying them.

I think, if you have a similar in-depth, careful look at each of your listings, and make some amendments, you may have more views and more success at selling.

Sorry if I have gone on a bit - this does all come from a good place and best of luck with your selling.
