I wonder when my fist sale will be?:)

I have been listing items on eBay for over a month and no sales yet

Re: I wonder when my fist sale will be?:)

My initial thoughts...

1) Your account was opened in 2006 and no feedback.

2) Somewhat high dollar niche items. 

3) High cost shipping from Turkey. 

These things may make people hesitant to buy.

Create a social media account for your business so you can promote your items @copperali .

If I had to guess it will be a long time before you sell anything.

 

I looked at 1 listing - "Lot of 3 old antique copper dishes" This is not how people search and means nothing.

Item + shipping $250.  

No details except look at photos -

No size or weights.

To me they look really beat up like junk I can get at the thrift store. Im sure thats not what you want. 

 

You need to work on your title and details.

I still think the items you are selling will be hard to sell in the US.

People can get these items here for a lot less money.

The brass plane items look cool and would have a better chance of selling if the price was lower on some. JMO. The shipping kills it for many that might be interested in the US as @slyders_finds has suggested.

You are right about shipping fee. Our prices are shipping fee included.

No, you're charging $70 for shipping, it's not included in your price.

Have a great day.

Thank you for your advice I will be more careful listing my items. I will make sure that I have the weight of item listed.

When I first starting the listing the shipping fee was not included. When some of people advice that I shoul make free shipping I have included in the price and I started doing free shipping.

You may have increased your prices, but you are still charging a separate $70 ship cost on everything. If that's not your intention you need to revise the shipping section of your listings.

Hi - copperali - You seem to have some nice & collectible items that are presented well. (love the planes) - However, I do think that your prices are a bit high.  IMHO of course.  Good Luck.  (J.B. From N.J. - U.S.A.)
