Getting items to sell

[teep_9755]

Hello I am new to selling items on ebay. How can I get my items to start selling. I have a couple of online business's  online but some of the items can be a little pricie even for me. I am not sure if I should change them or not because I will be charged for shipping cost from the online store and ebay. Any suggestions

     I am having a hard time understanding what you are asking. Your items, at least those that don't have free shipping, seem to have a constant cost of $10.49 associated with each listing and you are using economy shipping but I am not sure exactly what type. 

     A lot of your listings would seem to qualify for first class postage, which has tracking but unfortunately no insurance unless you purchase it separate. Examine your shipping options to see what your alternatives are. If you are going to continue to use free shipping you will have to bake that into the price of your item. If you use calculated shipping it will adjust the cost based on the buyers location if you are using first class or priority mail.

If you're dropshipping from another retail site, that is not allowed and could get you suspended.

You aren't new to online selling. I'm not sure what your asking, but just charge what you want. But if you want advice, here's a simple answer. You need to make a profit, how do you do that?

Here's an equation:

(Price of item + Cost of shipping materials (envelopes, boxes, etc) + Shipping cost if not free shipping (USPS/ UPS) + time packaging items + time it takes to list +  driving to post office= COST).

Use this equation to help you get on your way.

like others, have no idea what your trying to ask... however, your selling isn't going to go so well using titles like "unisex shirt" - you need to be much more descriptive in your listings titles to get any views/sales - Brand make of the shirt, size, what the shirt is for (if it says something like them do) stating "Boys Fall Outfit" isn't going to get you anywhere - in a category (clothing) that is already over saturated with sellers (not just on ebay - EVERYWHERE) - moral of this post is: RETHINK how you LIST your items!

My first suggestion to you would be to improve your titles.  They are way too slim.  You don't even really tell someone what you are selling.  Do you realize how may T Shirts are being sold on Ebay.  Say more about those shirts.  A glass candle is no where near enough.  What is the scent, how big is it, who is it by, etc.  What size are the Beanies.  What are the sayings on the shirts or design on the shirt.

Your titles is where to spend energy on creating.  Think like a buyer.  If you were to search for the item, what would you put into the search box.

It is likely not too many people are even seeing your items.

Sell more desirable items.

The more desirable your items are, the better they will sell.

Not disagreeing with your message, but I am pretty certain the shipping cost is paid by the buyer, not the seller.

IMHO your descriptions are woefully inadequate. No one searching eBay will find a listing with a two-word title like "toddler clothes".

That is an excellent question I don't think we have ever gotten an answer to, however it has been asked many times.

I can however say it isn't a glitch.
