Decline in sales, any tips to increase sales?

[athleticavenue]

Has anyone had a recent decline in sales? I have sold one item in the last 21 days, which is unnormal since I used to sell 10-15 items in that time period. Do any of you guys have any tips to increase sales? Thanks!

Sell things people want to buy at prices they are willing to pay.  Stay flexible.   Markets & tastes change daily.

You are selling in an oversaturated category and you only have 15 things listed. Do not expect anything different unless you list at least 100 more items. You already sold the stuff people wanted at the price they were willing to pay. The only other option is to use promoted fee listings.

Easy.

Sell below your cost, pay for shipping and make sure to pay for return shipping as well. If you really want to take off, promote your listings heavily. Promoted Plus is best. 
Don't worry about making a profit .. it will all trickle down at some point.

As long as ebay makes money, all is well.

You really need a couple thousand items to get regular sales.  As others have said your prices must be competitive.  You don't have anything close to an established account so it would behoove you to work  on that.  Used clothing and clothing in general is probably a needle in a a haystack.  You have to list every day.  There are some other tricks such as editing a lot,  changing prices etc, placing things on sales,  you have to promote because ebay no longer helps sellers much.  There are of course other techniques which do have pitfalls but are of course timeless but this forum is too immature to handle any explanation there but it's probably the oldest advertising trick in the book.  😄

same here! sales falling fast, I can not lower my prices anymore without taking a loss, shipping is high, and no one wants, or can afford to pay, I know who we can all thank for this, With Ebay fees, selling used item is the same price as if you just went to the store and purchased new. Getting senseless to continue to sell, it just is not working for me anymore
