I am guessing that the bulk of your 1.5k sales were some years back when Ebay was a major part of buyer's lives.
Your 12 month FB suggest that you are not knowledgeable of how Ebay today compares to the Ebay of the past.
@onefootflipper comments are consistent with thinking selling on Ebay was a easy as it once was, and that buyers are interested in things which used to sell for a lot of money, or willing to pay the old prices.
So, you edit the tube part out, still leave the model out of the title and are still trying to sell it at twice the price of what the competition has nicer condition units for.
That is your problem right, there. There isn't a magic idiot out there who is going to buy a piece of equipment that needs service for $450 plus $100 shipping when there is a tested and working mint one available on the same website for $239 and $38 shipping.
The last one that sold brought $39. The most one has sold for in 90 days is $230 for a perfect one. Terapeak suggests that the most expensive one EVER sold on ebay was $309 shipped. So why is yours $550 shipped?
And I spent the most actual time looking at and examining your issue and you didn't even acknowledge it. Ignore any news I don't like, must be ebay's fault.
I only had to look at one listing to see your issue.
You are price guessing and could work on titles.
That amplifier. You didn't even put the model in the title. And you want $450 opening bid for one that "probably needs service" when there are tested/working mint condition ones available buy it now for $225-$250.
That photo is a $5-10 longtail item that will take 3 years to sell, not a $100 auction item. That would have to be a Nasa photo or people from an early nuclear test site to be a $100 item.
Looking at your ended items only 17 percent of your auctions ever get a bid, which means those items either are not appropriate for auction format or you are vastly overvaluing them. I mostly lean towards both.
You listed an old Medic Alert bracelet for $39.99 auction. There are about 40 of that style available under $10 right now and they don't sell fast at that price.
You have to actually look up what things sell for, you can't just guess.

·2 years agoWhy are you charging such ridiculous shipping?
I know those earrings and the photo with tracking shouldn't be more than around $4 shipping.

And, since you're an experienced eBayer, you probably should realize that not everything listed here sells, or sells immediately.
