Five items listed with many page views, but no bids on any of the items.

Not the results I have gotten in the past; anyone know what is going on?

Thanks, I have added a second shipping option. I am actually willing to ship by any method that the buyer requests, but I don't seem to find that choice. 

 

I don't understand the "8 to 11 days-why are you waiting so long?".  I have always shipped within the next or second day. Am I missing something here?

Times have changed on eBay. Its expectations of sellers is greater. Gone are the days where all you needed was a good picture and adequate title to make a sale. I looked at all four of your listings and had some thoughts. 

Consider adding more photographs of the items, from all angles and vantage points. Use a light colored background. White is most preferred for inclusion on Search engine results.

 

It is said that high traffic on a listing without sales can begin dropping it lower in Search.  In your case, you have the traffic but zero sales conversions. The buyer clicks through, but then abandons the listing. Why?

I noticed the listings are just bare bones. There is minimal detail in Item specifics.  There  are virtually no descriptions, but only a repeat of the title. Keywords in the title, IS and descriptions are used to determine Search placement in results, and not just on eBay, but thru Google, Bing and the like. It is hard to compete with a seller who does have a complete description over one who does not.


To compete on todays eBay, listing information is vital. Below is a link on how to improve one’s sales conversions that i thought might be helpful. Good luck, and hope your sales improve.

I just noticed that the "count-down" timers are not actively updating on my listings...

What in that screenshot do you need to revise? Can't change the Managed Pay. Allowing 3 days to ship is about right. You are in the US and that zip code.  That leaves the "Returns"?

Think of views like shopping in a B&M, do you buy everything you pick up and look at?

A seller CANNOT revise the 'Payments are managed by eBay' portion, if that's the field you're trying to revise.

I can see why.

 

What your title is: Lindberg PT-109 Model Boat Kit (NOS)

What your title could be: Pt-109 John F. Kennedy Boat US Navy Boat 1:64 Model Kit Kit Lindberg 70886

 

Listing with title Pt-109 John F. Kennedy Boat US Navy Boat 1:64 Model Kit Kit Lindberg 70886 has sold 8 of 11 quantity.  You should mention scale, model number and full title of what's on the box to get more views/bids. Your current title needs more information.

They never have, for as long as I can remember (and I've been selling since 2004). You have to be not logged in to your account in order to watch the timers on your own listings count down to the end. (In other words, you can watch everyone else's listings count down via your own login, but you cannot see your own doing that. You have to log out first.) I've never found a clear explanation of why that is.

Because your listing states I will get it 8-11 days later; that amount of time takes into consideration your 'handling time' so I assumed you had a 5 day or so handling time before you are shipping. If you are shipping next day, then it should show 2-5 days (usps priority?); don't bother trying to 'add' another way of shipping.

I don't know what is happening, but I see the difference as well.
