No selling yet on my new store. Any criticism or advices?
Hello all,
Almost three weeks ago I opened my new store on ebay. I am designing some funny pictorials and making on Printify. Actually when I first start this dropshipping business I choose Etsy as a selling platform and even for a few days later I opened my store I start to get some orders. But I have had problems about the payments of Etsy. So I decided to open a store on ebay and working with Payoneer is easy and without problem. But I didnt get any order yet and it makes me think that as short time as I spend on Etsy turned to me with orders but on ebay I still didnt get any. Did I do something wrong or what? So I decided to ask this to the community and to the experienced sellers. I appreciate if you help me, because its a tough period of my life that I am living and need to start make money again.
I am leaving my stores url down, you can check that.
Thanks in advance!

·2 years agoYou're a little late to be selling Halloween.
One listing I checked said I wouldn't get it until the Middle of next month.

Drop shipping is a very risky business platform and most don't last. You are located in Turkey, but drop shipping in various states which is not necessarily truthful. Customers need to know where their orders are coming from. Item location misrepresentation is a violation as well. I hope it works out for you.
Good luck.

·2 years agoYou are "designing some funny pictorials"? No, not exactly. You are drop shipping. You are located in Turkey, listed as being in Beltsville, MD in the US and supposedly shipping from both Canada and the UK.
Do you see the problem here?

·2 years agoDropshipping is a huge turn off for a lot of people.
I want to know where my item is actually coming from........it says you are in Maryland but you are registered in Turkey.
10 days for my item to even ship out after payment..no thanks

·2 years agoYou only have 28 items listed and you are selling in categories that are highly, highly oversaturated on eBay (and other selling sites). If you put "Halloween Coffee Mug" in eBay search, it brings up 99,000 listings. Go to sold items and only 4,700 sold. That leaves about 94,000 that are still waiting to be sold. Halloween sweatshirts, about 72,000 listed but only about 1,300 sold. That's more than 70,000 that have not sold.
Unfortunately, your items are not unique enough to stand out. They are too similar to everyone else's. Another problem is that they are seasonal and there is a limited selling window for them. Your profile shows you are registered in Turkey but dropshipping from U.K. and Canada. Many people won't buy from a dropshipper, and the items you are selling are so readily available in the U.S., that there is little reason to do so.

·2 years agoYou are drop shipping. That can be a turnoff for buyers. Plus, when you drop ship, there will be at least hundreds of sellers selling the same things.
One of your items lists as shipping from the UK. Another ships from Canada. You are listed as being in Beltsville, MD.
