Getting lots of views, but no sales.

[sweet-designs]

Hello. I just started an account selling T-shirts through Printful. I have several designs available. My listings are getting lots of views, with one already having over 100 views in just a few days. But I have not made any sales yet. Can anybody look at my listings and give me tips as to what I may be doing wrong and what I can change or do to make some sales. Thank you. https://www.ebay.com/sch/sweet-designs/m.html?item=202778221868&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Your products sell well but your prices appear quite high. Search sweet jojo as a buyer would. Then filter to only sold listings. The sheet sets sell very often but from $25 to $35 on average. Your prices average well over $100. I may not be comparing apples to apples as i dont know sheets but its the first thing i noticed. Also your lower cost item are $15 and exact like products just this week sold for $11.

No one is going to pay a premium price to a seller with no feedback. You will have to compete with low prices to build your rep.

Goodluck.

Your long handling time turns buyers off and makes it look like you don't have the product on hand, that you are dropshipping.

You're also trying to sell in a very saturated area - whole websites are filled with print company fulfilled drop shipped items, and there are huge sellers like Tee Spring here with hundreds of thousands of listings. Even with your cute designs, it'll be tough to break in - you may have to offer loss leaders to get your foot in the door.

Thank you to all that responded. I will change a few things and try again.

Maybe they like your designs but are simply ordering them on Printful themselves instead of buying form you 🙂

You have many halloween designs. Perhaps it would help if you put the word "halloween" in the title on those items. 

[sweet-designs]

Most of the titles of my Halloween themed designs do have the word Halloween in the title; not all, but most. And Printful doesn't work that way. Printful is not a store, it is a fulfillment service. My printful account and Ebay account are connected. people cannot go to Printful to order anything, they must order through Ebay, Etsy, Shopify, or any of the dozens of other platforms that work with Printful and Printful makes the product and ships it. If someone orders a shirt on my Ebay account, I would get an alert from Printful as well as it showing on my Ebay account as an order. I think the problem is mostly that I have no feedback.

[lvelenc-17]

The problem is you obviously don't have the product, so you don't have any quality control, or control with shipping.
People do not like dropshippers. Period.

[karthok.of.daolodus]

I doubt it has anything to do with print fulfillment services - many mass produced T shirts here are just print fulfilled and drop shipped, and Etsy, which is supposedly 'hand made' is clogged with the stuff.  It doesn't prevent people from buying them, it's just that there are SO MANY T shirts. 63,863,445 in the men's section alone, I see just by a quick check.  63 million.  Even with an innovative design it's hard to be found in all of that, and very tough for a small designer. If it were me making those designs, I'd try to think of another format or form factor to display it.

be patient. 

you will sell . 

just try to : 

- study the prices and try to put the least price as you can until you start selling then your account will move better . 

- use promote listing from ebay and it will help to show your product the first in any search. 

- follow the seasons when you choose your photo  that's mean when Christmas is soon  focus on it . when any special day coming focus in it directly enough time before so people will buy for it. 

be smart

List them BIN and give buyers time to find the items.

[femmefan1946]

When prices change based on available choices, customers rebel.

If you have a tee that sells for $15 in S/M/L/XL but $22 in XXL/XXXL/XXXXL  make two listings , one for the smaller shirts at $15 and one for the larger at $22.

Buyers have been burned too often by $1-$50 listings that seem to be selling a cellphone for $1 but that turns out to be a case. It's not honest and that's not what you're doing, but keep it simple.

@howmah17  get better photos and descriptions

Maybe instead of just tshirt try your designs on something like cards or prints? It would cost less to ship and could appeal to a broader market.  I think the prints are cute but don't really like the boxy shape of the t-shirts.
