Sickpup, looking at your 1916 Liberty Half auction (which I threw a bid on to hopefully get it moving) personally I wouldn't do a ten day auction, think a seven day is sufficient. Also just noticed it ends at 11:14 a.m. on Saturday (not sure if that is Eastern or Pacific) but either way I think the best time to end an auction is on a Sunday evening or maybe even a Monday evening rather than on a Saturday morning.
You may also consider changing your store/business name. Buyers may find it more appealing to buy from a business name that is more in line with that type of business.
I do not believe the ebay handle matters at all. While i sell just for the enjoyment i get out of it. I started 6 weeks ago and i have sold coins almost everyday. So IMO its always going to come down to price. I being new to selling i do not do auctions. I tried a couple and 1 went ok the other the buyer got a great deal. So try BIN with best offer. Thats what has worked for me so far. Good luck in the future.
On the 1932 s-Buffalo nickel--there are 867 other listings that you are competing with so you need to find ways to make your listing stand out. And make sure you are looking at the Sold Listings to determine current prices.
Dirk is correct. You definitely want to add NGC to your title on those coins. Coins are the biggest pain to try and photo and you have some good pictures. Wonder if your 1 gram gold if you could get a clearer picture. Those are a couple easy fixes that should help.
I'd suggest it's partly because you are a new seller with a low FB score.
eBay doesn't use feedback to assess member accounts, but many buyers are wary of inexperienced sellers.
You might try adding to every description your membership in whatever numismatic societies you may belong to.
For example, I run this account for DH, who is a life member of the American Philatelic Society, the Canadian Stamp Dealers Association, and the Royal Philatelic Society. We don't use that, but we also have pretty solid FB.
You might also try including a scan of the certificates for your coins.
Lots and lots of coins on eBay. Lots of competition too. Lower your prices and use your social media buttons to advertise what you are selling. Go to the "Share" link at the top right hand of the page. What ever social media you use, attach your listings to it and let em fly. It's helped me with sales in the past. Give it a try.
Why bother to reply if your intent is to be negative and self serving?
The OP's entire post said "they aren't fake". From this, one could surmise that the OP was implying that as long as a coin is "not fake", it should sell on eBay.
inhawaii correctly pointed out that demand also plays a part in whether an item sells.

·2 years agoYou have only 17 items, you stand a better chance of being hit by lightening than selling all of them, let alone selling them at a profit.
I think you have done well on your sales within the last 90 days given the number of items you have to sell.

For you: US Coin.....and whatever else you want in titles....Canada Coin......US Paper Currency....

·2 years agoYou have to price competitively. I see some of your coins selling on eBay for less than what you're asking for them.

·2 years agoFor the OP: Several of your coins are slabbed by NGC. NGC should absolutely bin your title 'for each listing.
If the coin is silver, The word silver should be in the title.
Your T2 Washington is a proof. Put the word proof in the title. That advice applies to any and all proof coins.
Add, .999 to the title of the gold bar.
Nobody will see your listings if they can't find them.

·2 years agoAs a new / young seller, you may want to entertain pick-up only. Pay then in person. Many local police stations offer a safe sale / transaction area.
Currency, sports cards, cell phones, laptops, and more are targets for scammers.
You might look into any local coin dealers / pawn shops.
It's up to you. You are the owner, so don't let anyone bully you.
