Your brand items have a ‘pop up’ that says something like view all items like this on ebay and when I click it, it comes up with a whole heap of items with yours being at the top, with a smaller image. This may be a factor

I don't get the pop-up that gjalp sees, but I get something similar when I look at your listings - each of your images, except the Vans, has a magnifying glass icon in the bottom left hand corner.

You might think when you see a magnifying glass that clicking it will take you to a larger image, but no, contrary to universally accepted practice, clicking the magnifying glass actually takes you to a seemingly infinite number of similar items from other sellers.  Your own image is minimised, whilst the competitors' images are enlarged.

The icons placed on top of a seller's image is a feature that ebay is testing.  It cropped up in conversation this morning on the "No Longer Selling due to Simple Delivery" thread - page 366, post 7302 onwards - if you want to read more about it.   There's nothing you can do about it, except complain to ebay if you feel so inclined, about them using your image and the listing that you have spent time creating, in order to encourage people to buy your item from someone else.

My view is in list format rather than the way yours is presented but other sellers items are larger in the same way.

There are lots of people selling old clothes so you face a lot of competition.  There are also now specialist sites for them that some people will be more inclined to look at than e-Bay; as there's even more competition on those prices tend to be lower.

 

You are asking sensible prices so aren't going to be high up when people search on lowest price first.  How e-Bay decide what constitutes Best Match is known only unto them.  As you use Buy It Now it may be worth periodically ending listings and re-listing them as that would at least get the up Newly Listed searches and get alerts sent to people with running searches.
