New Seller Seeking Tips for Boosting Visibility and Sales
Hi everyone,
I’m new to selling on eBay and excited to join this community! I’ve recently started my store, WadStore, where I focus on products inspired by my passion for Christianity and trading. As a beginner, I’m looking for tips on how to increase visibility for my listings and attract more buyers.
I’d love to hear about any strategies that have worked for you, whether it’s optimizing listings, running promotions, or engaging with customers. Additionally, if anyone has advice on using eBay’s marketing tools effectively, I’d be grateful for your insights.
Thank you in advance for your help! Looking forward to learning and growing with all of you.

Your Titles are extremely lacking in keywords!
I presume you are doing print on demand through Printify or similar.
Here are a few things to understand
Because it takes no money to get going there are a lot of people doing it.
It's it and print and ship situation you are at the mercy of your supplier. Many sellers trying this method end up with lots of negative feedback (order mistakes, slow to ship or fail to ship).
To be competitive your margins will be very slim especially if you use promotions.
To do any sort of reasonable volume you will need thousands of designs / listings.
If you come up with original designs you will find others will steal them.
It's possible to do well but it's not easy.

Start by adding a lot more info to your listings -- both in the item specifics fields and the description field.
Sizes don't mean much, especially when you are an unknown brand, so you must add measurements, preferrably in photos and also in the description and/or item specifics.
If you think like a buyer -- what would I want to know if I were looking for a sweatshirt? -- you'll have the best chance of creating a successful listing.
If you notice anyone "watching" your listings, you can send them offers for a certain amount or % off.

My comment about the brand was in reference to sizing.
OP has the brand listed as Wadstore in Item Specifics. How would a buyer know Wadstore sizing?
It's only by reading the description, which many buyers don't do, that you see the word Gildan.
Besides, measurements are good practice anyway.

Identify the contents of the screening in your item title.
Do not expect much action on having 3 listings.

It appears your hoodies have a different saying from front to the back. It might be slightly less confusing to label as "front" or "back." At first glance, I could not tell.

The picture shows 2 different hoodies.
How do you know which one you're buying, "sorted" or "easy peasy"?

Playstation 5s = High demand = High views + High sales
Vintage belt buckles = Low demand = Low views = Low sales
