AUCTION

[takitaki]

Recently I started to sell on eBay and created my first listing in an Auction format  5 days, 2 days past and unfortunately no any bidding yet. which is the best way to get more traffic to my listing?

Although I see that you have FB as a buyer, there are no current or sold listings for you under this ID.  

Can you show us an item number?

I don't see that you have posted any listings on this account past or present. Posting questions here will not pull traffic to your listings esp if you don't have any to start with. Nor does it improve your odds when you do list something.

This is an international seller, so you have to switch to see listings Worldwide.

When looking at the big picture, traffic for items on eBay tends to come from buyers who are actively searching for your item.

You are selling what in the USA would be considered a "dollar store" item that is available for about the same price at a discount store in almost any city or town. If I needed that item, I would not even consider eBay as a place to buy it.

If they are post on the US board, then their items would be visible to anyone looking at their profile.

OK, one item for 99 cents with free shipping from Sri Lanka.

As others have mentioned, an item that can be found at dollar stores here in the US with immediate gratification, not having to wait for it to be delivered.

Found it. Did as luckythewinner suggested and changed my settings to worldwide, thank you. Most shopper would not be shopping for items from the whole world, they would be looking local such as in US or North America, maybe even closer, so we for the most USA buyers would not even see it. 

Even when I did find it, it shows in GBP with US $s as a side note.

If you are drop shipping from China, then the location of the item would be wrong because you would not have the item in hand. 

In case anyone wonders what the item is;
