There are no sales, no sales yet
Happy day everyone.
As shown in the picture, I have more than 1,1771 Listing Impressions and 54 Views.
But so far there is not a single sale.
Please explain the reason ?
Thanks everyone for the cooperation

·3 years agojust asking...you only have 14 active listings?

·3 years agoSuggest you remove statement "I know you are worried about the low price. But simply, I only charge shipping fees and a few.... I am really legitimate". When someone tells you they are legitimate...it makes me think they are a scammer.
Your items are wonderful...you just have to be patient (sometimes it takes months to sell an item). Good luck with your selling...

@caldreamer... sometimes longer! I just checked a sale from two days ago, @pharaonic_outlet ... it was listed 3/30/2019. Hope you can hang in there like I can!

·3 years ago@pharaonic_outlet it will be more difficult for you given that you are selling from Egypt.
Fraud rates from some countries have created the perception of risk regardless of whether you are an honest seller or not. I am sure you considered it a good thing when you created your listings "I will include shipping costs in my total price and offer free shipping". I respectfully suggest this works against you.
I imagine that an object that sells for say $50 USD and has free shipping...shipping still costs money and I dont know how much since it is listed as free. Psychologically I know that sellers dont sell to lose money...so if I imagine that shipping costs $40 USD and the price is $50 USD then you are selling a nice object for $10 USD?!? This sets off alarm bells for me and implies that you have such low prices and free shipping because you never intend to ship the item and will keep the whole $50 USD.
Last year I purchased a LOVELY antique Buddha Hand from a large statue under these EXACT circumstances on another site like eBay. It never shipped. The buyer had (0) feedback disappeared after selling out all of his 'antiques'. He was in fact representing himself from Egypt.
So...expose your ACTUAL shipping costs. This is another way to communicate to buyers "I am legit, and I only charge for my real shipping costs"
Best wishes for your endeavors.

OP3 years agoHow I wished to find wonderful people like you, dear Chris.
You are different in your wonderful advice,
which clarified many things to me that qualified me to study the subject from all aspects. However, there are some issues facing the Egyptian economy, the first of which is a sharp decline in the value of the local currency. When showing free shipping, I do not exaggerate that there is a gain, and it is in the price of the item itself, because I know how to get it at a low price. Finally, my greetings for being a person who gives sound advice in a wonderful way.

·3 years agoExactly right @retro_entertainment_collectibles
Impressions is from search engines....11k times it was shown 'somewhere'
Click through rates for those impressions are 0.4%
With only 54 actual page views you have a 0/54 conversion rate which isnt unheard of.
As for feedback rating, I agree. I *never* buy from a zero feedback seller. What I recommend to new sellers is to be a 'buyer' for a while. Get at least 10-20 feedback showing you keep commitments and are here for the long haul. That, or what I did once...I bought a lot of (20) romance novels delivered for about $20USD. I then sold them all auction style for opening bids of 99cents until I had 20 positive feedback from the effort.
Reputation is the best influencer of conversion rate, IMHO. Keep trying!

·3 years agoYour recommendation to do some buying before launching your eBay selling career is an excellent one. That way the new kid on the block gets a better idea of how eBay actually works. And learns that not every single item listed for sale here will have a buyer.
coolections
·3 years agoThe reason is people are curious what you item is but just do not want to pay the price you are asking.
retro_entertainment_collectibles
·3 years agoOh, and "Impressions" simply mean somewhere listing(s) were called from eBay's database that could be on page twenty or page one of a search or browse. Views are how many times people have clicked into the actual listings. It takes time to establish yourself at eBay, its not "List it and the sales pour in."

·3 years agoIn addition to what @ckimodog dog stated you've zero feedback ratings which can result in potential customers having distrust as you're new. At the sametime there buyers who will take advantage of new sellers inexperience. I'd recommend listing many lower priced items making sure all those sales go well and establishing good feedback ratings before trying to sell higher end collectibles.

OP3 years agoI don't know how to create reviews before selling.
Can you tell me this way please?
retro_entertainment_collectibles
·3 years agoYou have to buy and/or sell things @chris13 describes this quite brilliantly. When I first began selling the first order I received the buyer asked me if there were a poster in the sealed PC Game box. I mean how would I know? It's sealed! He buys I send out, next thing I know I've a return request as there was no poster in the box... Go figure!
You can't make you're own ratings (feedback), its earned via buying and selling preferably without problems.

Good morning
Your shop is very beautiful. However, times are very hard for many people financially. You are not the only one with slow sales. People need to eat, buy food, pay their rent/mortgage and buy gasoline so that they can get to work more than they need to purchase a replica statue of King Tut.
You are selling collectibles. Collectibles are not a priority for many right now, not to mention it is a very over saturated category on ebay. Perhaps lower your prices and use your social media buttons at the top right hand side of your listing page where it states "Share" Attach your listings to what ever social media you use and see if you can get some lookers that way.
Good luck and Happy Selling.
