This user ID shows no listings.  We can't help if we can't see them.

You're a new seller under this ID and many buyers are reluctant to spend any or much money with "Zero" feedback sellers. Add some lower cost BIN's to get sales and feedback rolling. Buy something to get some feedback as well.

Your pictures are decent and your listings seem OK

 

Part of your issue may be your big fat "zero" feedback.  Buy some inexpensive stuff and get a few feedback.

 

I took a deep look at one of your listings

 

I just have a few suggested "tweaks"

 

Lose the caps lock and fluff words in your titles. Use that prime real estate for words that buyers might be looking for

 

Instead of

 

DRESDEN PLATE QUILT HANDMADE APPLIQUED DRESDEN QUILT LOVELY HAND STITCHED

 

Try

 

Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt Appliqued Hand Stitched Pink Cream Floral 68 x 90

 

Also, use line breaks in your description. One big paragraph is hard to read. Type one sentence and hit the return button twice.

 

You have it in the 1930-now linens category, but you aren't backing that up with details ... If you know the exact or approximate age, give that in your description.

 

 

Next ... your pricing ...

 

I'm not a quilter or a collector, but your starting bid seems high 😞

 

Look at "solds" for Dresden applique quilts.

Finally ... you can't say that you have free shipping to "some" addresses.

You either ship free to US and CA or you don't. You cannot add a shipping charge after the fact if it ends up being too much.

I can see their listings just fine. I'm in Florida.

Ditto the above - high prices and titles need a great deal of work.

 

Why not go back to the old ID?

Any particular reason that you don't ship to Canadians?

Um ... no you don't, according to your shipping and payments tab.

There is no option to ship to Canada (or anywhere besides the U.S.)

 

Since you don't have a Canadian shipping option, eBay is not showing your listings to Canadian buyers 😞

It's very simple. Your items aren't real auctions that start at a dollar. The prices that you impose aren't market prices, they are your own value, and the market at least so far does not agree with you.
Remember, eBay is filled with listings for products that are overpriced. Most of those listings are never even seen by the average user.
