I have no suggestions, oither than to find merchandise that is more likely to sell.

Hair elastics, glue, rhinestones, USB cables, bubble envelopes  ... IMHO low-priced trinkets are not the sort of thing that people search for on eBay.

It looks like you need to look at some other items to get into different catagorys.  Best regards

You are listed in Morocco, it seems you are drop-shipping from China with a 1 - 2 month expected delivery times, you are new and have no sales.

Two months is a long time to wait for a 99 cent item, or any item, and that may be discouraging many potential buyers.

lewisbutggold...Other categories are not helping me much either. I have 49 items and no sales! I have never seen it this bad!!

Add to that...Ebay is now lowering these types of dropshippers down to the basement in search. (it's about time IMO)

What do you suggest to me?

Like everyone else has said, your handling times are much to long. Your Items are most likely being dropshipped from China and you have zero feedback.  I would suggest trying to find better quality items locally to sell. There are plenty of established Chinese sellers already selling those items, look into something not so market saturated.

I have been to Morocco a few times. I have brought back many fossils, especially ammonites that I made into pendants, orthoceras fossils that were made into candle holders, and  many other larger fossils that I sold to a friend who owns a rock shop. They are good sellers for her.

Maybe you could sell the little round ammonites that can be bought cheap from your area to build up some some sales.

Get the items in hand and take actual photos of them and ship them directly.

Find items that people actually want or need not cheap junk.

Maybe find items from your country to sell, jewelry, clothing ect

I know I'd be more like to buy items like that than cheap junk from China.

No, I don't work for Ebay, but I do keep up (or try to keep up) with news that will affect me when it comes to selling online.

You are in Morocco.

Go to the market and find things that are uniquely Moroccan- spice mixtures, fabrics, specialty clothing.

Women's products like makeup or hairdressing. (There is a fad for hair products with 'Moroccan Oil' in North America.)

Costume jewelry. 

Packaged foods like couscous, dates, dried figs or apricots. 

Be 'exotic'.

Because, unlike dropshipping from China, you will be shipping yourself and shipping is the hardest part of selling online.

I doubt it's 70% percent.

Not when you consider all sellers of vintage, antiques, and used goods.

Many dropshippers come to these boards saying that they aren't selling much. Why? Because they aren't selling anything unqiue.

eBay is glutted with cheap Asia goods and used clothing.

I sell a particular product line that I can aquire cheap locally, it's unique to my region, its a fairly famous product line and I can resell for 3 to 10 times what I paid.

Personally, I buy here to get unique items, things I can't get locally, and to add to my collection of all things Winnie the Pooh Bear.
