Right in your listing, ebay already showed 4 same items with better pricing than yours.
eBay has around 1.7 BILLION listings worldwide, you have 6 items for sale. List more, part of selling until you get established is a numbers game. The more you have to sell the better the chances that something will sell.
It takes time, good luck!
First I wouldn't recommend using Promoted Listings to a new seller. Selling here is complicate and there are so many rules to learn so you can function here and keep your account in good order.
You need to use your time to learn how to sell here before starting to use some of the extra tools available to sellers. It will give you a far better understanding of what is actually something that might be good for you.
For example: What do you think a No Return Policy means on Ebay? I could give you the answer, but if you don't mine, I'd like to know what you think it means first. This isn't a gotcha question or me trying to be mean to you. I will give you the answer if you need it. I'm just curious as to what you think it means.
I would suggest that you have descriptions in ALL your listings. Some you do and some you don't. Be specific and make sure if there are any defects on the items, you take pics of the area as well as verbally describing it in the description.
You have a Store, why? What level of store do you have?
There is much to learn and we are happy to help you as we can. I hope you will respond and answer the questions and accept this in the spirit it is intended, just to help.

Use Fixed Price /Immediate Payment Required for 30 days of visibility.
EBay 's 'brand' is auctions and they sucker newbies like you into using them, but less than 15% of listings are Auctions, mostly newbies or dealers in Collectible.
Use Best Offer if you think your customers are bargain hunters.
You can set automatic Accept/Reject prices on Best Offers if you don't want to be bothered by lowballers.
There is no sure fire way to get buyers to leave feedback. Just speaking for me, only about 25% or less of my buyers leave feedback and it has been that way for many years.
Why not auctions on a new seller. In their Buyer requirements they can set the requirement to provide a payment method before they can bid.

Actually those 2 phones you sold will receive feedback guaranteed with the new automated feedback policy for sellers with less than 10 feedbacks as long as the transactions were completed successfully.
Here is the policy:

Paying for a PL doesn't guarantee an item will sell only an improved position in the listings of all the sellers of the same or similar items.
It appears you have sold 2 items in December that ain't too bad. Of your 7 listings all but one are auction style. People buying Christmas gifts aren't inclined to to wait x number of days for the auction to end then hope & pray they receive the item through the mail - only 9 days 'til Christmas Eve. Maybe your BIN price is out of the budget ball park - folks like bargains - offer a discount?? - your call.
You are in Tarrant County, TX know it well the DFW area and that place is crowded - the mail carriers are no doubt is getting slammed big time- - our daughter and grandson families lives in Mineral wells and it is starting to get crowded out there to. Lived in Waco & Katy TX - glad we moved to Georgia in 96.- still have some elbow room.
Potential buyers in your local area are probably out of funds as many of them visited that mile long Winstar Casino just across the state line in the middle of wind farm in Oklahoma (been there - it was jammed on a Thursday night in August) - a lol
