I took a quick look at your listings - 2 things I notices
1) use more words in your titles - use 75-80 characters
-- look at the "perfect listing advice below
2) Use "Daylight" bulbs when taking your photos. They will be naturally brighter and more attractive. Daylight bulbs are available anywhere - On the side they will say 5000K color
3) Get some white foam core board from the dollar store to use for your backdrops. It will make your items pop more.
More Advice:
-- Look at the titles/photos/pricing from similar items that have sold.
Do a search, and then filter for SOLD. You will find the Sold filter on the left-hand side of the website view, or under "filters" for the mobile view. Consider if your price is competitive with other eBay listings.
-- You can find 36 months of sales history on Product Research https://www.ebay.com/sh/research
-- Make sure your first photo, in particular, is sharp, clear, and preferably has a white background.
-- Use 12 - 24 photos. Show the top, bottom, sides, labels, features, and flaws. Take your own photos.
-- Make sure your title uses as many characters as possible, and that the first 4-5 words are the most important. Use 72-80 characters with good keywords. Don't use cute words like WOW or L@@K - no one uses those in their search.

I think you can end and relist a few each day. I wouldn't end them all
