Lose the digital images. Those were in the early days of the internet used to build feedback and as others have said, are now restricted on eBay.
Your "good" products are the foods and soaps which may not be available in the West.
However I would worry about the cost of Air Mail Tracked shipping because US customers demand tracking and fast service. The cheap surface shipping will not attract customers, drop it.
Selling Guatamalan cardamom from SriLanka sounds weird. It doesn't make sense to sell a product easily available in US supermarkets from halfway around the world.
You must tell your customers exactly how much product they will get. Serving size means how much is used for the buyer's dish of food. I doubt anyone would put 100gr of chili pepper powder in a single dish!
The word you are looking for is "package size". This should be in the title and in the Description.
The prices on your foods are reasonable for the package* size. I do worry about your shipping cost.
The Descriptions on the food make it obvious that English is your second language,but it is not bad English just a little unusual. Don't worry about that. People who do fuss about other dialects of English think mayonnaise is too spicy.
*$58.90 for a kilo of black pepper. $56.50 for a kilo of chili pepper powder. There are more than two pounds in a kilogram.
You list those pictures as from the Achomawi culture. That is utterly false. The Achomawi are Pit River Palaihnihan Native Americans. Your attempt to manipulate search by using that "Culture: Achomawi" in your Item Specifics not only violates eBay policy, it actually violates U.S. federal law (Indian Arts & Crafts Act, 1990).
Besides that deception, you have a picture of macaws described as a "landscape" by "A.R. Quinton." If such a person exists, do you have the right to sell his images, not to mention claiming they are NA? Or do you mean A.R. Quinton, the listed watercolorist -- more deception and search manipulation?
Do you own the rights to those images of women? Digital downloads are against eBay policy. Seeds and seed pods can’t be exported to the United States. You really need to read up on how to list and sell.
It is really hard to be located on the other side of the globe from the market you are selling in, with no knowledge of what the people in that market buy and how they decide what to buy.
IMO you are not offering anything which appeals to an identifiable group of buyers, and your listings are discouraging purchase.
Wow...you are violating many policies including posting sales for entirely nude photos. My suggestion is to remove that soon or you will be shut down & not able to sell anymore, anywhere. Digital sales are restricted. You need permission and most are not granted permission. Your selling days are going to be cut short if you don't clean up your site. Just giving you a heads up.
You have only been selling for about 3 weeks and you only have 51 items listed, a lot of which are duplicate listings. Some of those may be questionable with regards to a couple of eBay policies. It often takes time for buyers to find items they are looking for and you have to be selling what they are looking for.
Some of your postings are a bit deceptive. The KOI food for example shows a picture of what looks to be a couple of pounds of food but you actually ship a 25 or 50 Gram package which is less than 2 ounces. I have a KOI pond but buy my KOI food in 25 pound bags. That would be about 227 of your 50 G packages at $6.98 per package which would make a 25 pound bag cost about $1,586.36 USD.

And I don't think it's a "Skin Care Whitener", either. Maybe the OP is confusing it with Lava soap, which, if I remember correctly, took the hide right off you... 😑
All soaps are germ killers. That's one reason they are used.
And I don't think it's a "Skin Care Whitener", either.
"Whitening" skin products are widely used in post-colonial countries where an ashy bleached skin is prized above a healthy brown one. There may be some bleaching agent in the soap sold in Sri Lanka that is not present in American formulae for the product.
Many of these products are banned because they are actively dangerous, like hydroquinone.

·2 years agoDid you create those pictures you are selling?
You are telling your buyers they do not have the rights to resell them. Do YOU have that right?
Any picture you supply on ebay can be used for other sellers listings. That is ebay policy.
You advertise it as a glossy finish printed on gloss paper. How can that be for a digital print?
YOU DO have a 30 day returns policy so your description can NOT contradict that .
Buyers will not buy from a seller who deceives them and violates ebay policies.

@buyselljack2016
I did a Google image search…most of those digital images can be downloaded for free from freepik.

·2 years agoAnd in all of them OP manipulates search with the "A.R. Quinton," "Achomawi," etc., nonsense.
But the second image in each listing would suggest that OP is selling feedback, rather than the item, anyhow.

2. Lifebuoy soap is not a germ killer.
3. How much money do you figure you will make at 99 cents with free shipping from Sri Lanka?
4. The good news is that you do have one FB which is positive.
