Here are tips to make a good listing that will sell faster:
-- Look at the titles/photos/pricing from similar items that have sold.
Do a search, and then filter for SOLD. You will find the Sold filter on the left-hand side of the website view, or under "filters" for the mobile view. Consider if your price is competitive with other eBay listings.
-- You can find 36 months of sales history on Terapeak Research https://www.ebay.com/sh/research
-- Make sure your first photo, in particular, is sharp, clear, and preferably has a white background.
-- Use 12 - 24 photos. Show the top, bottom, sides, labels, features, and flaws. Take your own photos.
-- Make sure your title uses as many characters as possible, and that the first 4-5 words are the most important. Use 72-80 characters with good keywords. Don't use cute words like WOW or L@@K - no one uses those in their search.
-- Accurately describe your items – include measurements. Describe any flaws or defects.
-- Make sure your item is in the correct or best category
-- Complete the item specifics that are logical, skip the ones that don’t apply.
-- Here is a webpage where you will be able to find more information about good listing practices: https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter/listings/listing-best-practices
-- Watch the video on the above page called “eBay Selling 101- 4 components of a perfect listingâ€

✓ From my own personal experience: After I have made a great listing, I share it on Pinterest and X/Twitter. It helps get more eyes on the listing.
Specifically to your listings,
- 2 listings look like the same photo, if so, that is a bad idea on eBay.
- the algorithm will see all 4 listings as the same because the title is the same. Add "Lot 1", Lot 2, etc to your titles.
- Are you selling 1 item or a grouping? If it is one, you need to change the listing title and photos to reflect that specific one item (more listings)
- Use more keywords
