·1 month agoWhen I read your question, the first thing I thought of was that you are not getting any sales and you want to know how to get buyers to first find you/your store and then look at what you have for sale.
There are 2 1/2 billion items listed on eBay; you current have 71 listings. Like a needle in a ginormous haystack. With that kind of numbers, buyers have to be pretty specific in what they are looking for, i.e. a certain brand, a certain category or genre, color, size, etc. It isn't like someone can just sit down and browse and come across your store; they have to be looking for what you are selling and if any other sellers are selling the same thing, your prices have to be competitive.

·1 month agoMost buyers search for the items they want to buy. If you are selling any that will lead them to your store. Buyers can also search by store name. Once they find you by items they may come back to see what other items you have.

·1 month agoIn a nutshell, use detailed and relevant listing titles (with nothing unnecessary), great pics that stand out from the competition, real-world prices and a good return policy. Make it likeable enough to stand out and get that click. Good luck~

·1 month agoYour listings look good by the way. I don't know about art pricing. Your pics (both subject and background) could be a little brighter, it is art, it's a visual thing. I think it's usually the price and the pics that get the clicks!
