Selling items below recommended ebay price

I am selling items well below the price of similar items by other ebayers,  but so far very little sales, should I put my prices up the same as other sellers,  don't understand why my items are not selling, a lot of which are new, any suggestions how to increase my sales?

Do you know if there were regular sales for some of the items? In some cases, there simply may not be an audience for the items, irregardless of the price they are listed at.

With regards to listings - feel like auctions are the wrong format for some of your listings.

For example, you have some paperback books on auction. Even at the base price you've listed them at (which is the minimum) - it would cost more than if I bought it from one of the big players like World of Books. And I wouldn't have to wait 5 days for the auction to end. Unfortunately common paperback books are a hard sell for this reason. You'd be better off seeing what you could get via webuybooks!




I've had the same issue for months, I ended up pricing many items rock bottom like £1 or below for a Jenga style drinking game, below £3 for a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.. and a bunch of other stuff. I just took down the listings and only left the ones I'm not willing to drop to silly prices to sell.

I have 2 carrier bags almost full of things like a DVD game, cat play track toy, and jigsaw puzzle and some other stuff brand new in the box that just won't sell on eBay, I'm taking them into a shop to see if they'll buy them or I'm just going to take them to a charity shop.

It's just not worth having clutter around when they'll only sell for peanuts if they ever do sell, waiting months is ridiculous and only little to no movement. eBay's been going downhill over the past few years waiting for buyers. Sometimes you can get lucky and there's a particular item you list that will sell after not very long, especially if it's a computer part or something these days.

I've even thrown some items straight in the bin because it's not worth waiting for a sale just to clear up some clutter to stop having excess around.
