Hello everyone, I have been selling on Ebay for almost 20 years on multiple accounts and recently started a couple of new ones to sell off personal goods. Every account I've used when listing something usually attracts a few views, especially in the beginning with $1 auctions. However, on this account I can't seem to get any views.
I basically follow the same formula as all my other accounts over the years and I know what I'm selling now is in demand, sports cards, but I'm very shocked that I haven't been getting any views at all. Even when I'm selling obscure stuff in other accounts attracts more people.
I'm quite worried that something is not being done properly, can anyone help? Thank you kindly in advance.

It is really hard to give any suggestions since you are posting with a different account than you are selling under.
I sure hope it all works out for you.

Put a few of the cards up on your older more established accounts, with a link or links to your new account (store or listings) sating that more cards can be found in your new card store or new card selling account.
Links are eBay legal as long as they stay on eBay.

Thank you for your reply. I logged out of my account and did a user search on my page and when I clicked on "items for sale", none of the 9 auctions I had up were visible. I tried this with and without a VPN. That would make sense why I have no views at all. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?

Have you listed the 9 auctions on ebay.com?

Yup, on Ebay.com. That's not normal, is it?

I asked if you had listed the items on ebay.com because if you listed the items on another ebay site, that could have been the reason why you don't see your listings, but that's not the case.
So, I don't know why you can't see your listings.

I have a guess. eBay is helpfully narrowing the category of searches when they return too many items.
check to see if this is happening to you on your signed out account. You may need to move your cards to that category.
or they’re not indexed yet

Thank you for replying anyhow, appreciate it!

Hmm, I just double checked and they are in the right category. It's almost been half a day...indexing cant take this long, I assume.

Are they listed under the same ID as you are posting here with?

Yes, same user name.

Your listings are definitely not showing up for me. Its showing me that you currently have (0) zero items for sale.
Maybe you should try contacting customer service.

If there is no interests in your items. You aren't going to get views. That's pretty much it.

Then your items are not showing at all and I don't think you actually posted them. Maybe they are in your drafts or something, but I don't think you actually posted them.
