I think you need to add a few different items. On the whole I see many hangers and slippers/flip flops and kids stuff too. Nothing wrong with that but you might want to consider adding other things too. '
The kitchen accessories are a little overpriced. Most of what you're offering can be bought for about $5 less each in any discount store. I like the grouping of them - that works because sometimes we want to pick up a group for a shower or something - so maybe you can take more festive pictures. Maybe arrange them prettily with a little ribbon. Not all, but I'd try it it.
I think the key for you, if you want to rack up more sales is to
1. diversify a bit. usually buyers will look through your items when they pay shipping, to add something so they can do a 2fer or a 3fer. So you want to have different things to sell.
2. lower your prices a little. even the slippers are higher than I'd pay in Kohls or any other store. And then there's shipping.
3. Check to see what other sellers are getting for the same items. I didn't but I wonder how you're coming up in the price + shipping search, many buyers myself included when they're looking for a specific item will do a search based on the item and then defined by price and condition.
I hope this helps. It's rough out there. You have to push it.
With all due respect, I don't agree about the store. I think down the line it may be cost effective but right now, what with promotions and 50 free, you don't gain any leverage with a store. YET. And consider that you could sell under another name and get 50 more free. You can have (I think) up to five names to sell under. You'll be limited in how much, but it's worthwhile if you're looking to save money.
I'm sort of in the same boat myself. When it's cost effective I will reopen my store but right now it's not. For the catagories I sell in, the percentages do not vary sufficiently for me to justify paying 20 a month for a store. I will not commit to the 15 a month for the basic store because it means if I decide to end my selling on ebay, I am still obligated to finish paying for the year.
I think when it comes to store fees, FVFs, percentages and promotions, you have to sit down and figure it out in dollars and cents.
I always feel I WANT to open a store, but when I sit down and do the math, for the number of listings I have, PLUS the catagory it never adds up to worthwhile. I wish it did because I used to have a store but now it doesn't. Until it does I can't afford to add even one more cost to my selling because volume here isn't what it was and because my husband is out of work and I need to make as much as I can for the time being.
If you're sticking with the hangers, then get DIFFERENT kinds of hangers. Move into different kinds of closet things, or store display things. My point is you need to have more for someone to want to buy more. If I buy hangers in bulk then either I'm a store or I'm redoing my closets. Either way there are other items I could use besides hangers.
