Hi There -
Ditto on the low sales for October. I also sell clothing, shoes and accessories, so I hear you. I don't have a store, I make the most of the 50 free listings I get each month, and I take advantage of the occasional listing promotions. I reuse boxes, and buy tissue and shipping supplies in bulk to keep costs as low as possible. Internet selling has changed dramatically over the last 20 years (Yes, I have been around that long), and Ebay is still trying to find its niche in this new era. I don't do social media, so those sites just won't work for me. The marketplace is so much bigger, but so are the options. Watchers will only become buyers when the price is right or their need for a particular item drives them to purchase. I do free shipping, but I do not take returns, unless there is a special circumstance. I ship immediately, and buyers really appreciate that. Take good, clear photographs, have good descriptions, take measurements whenever possible, etc. Ebay Stores, Promoted Listings and Research Tools are great, but expensive. I keep it simple and average about $1,000 per month in sales, with about 17% selling costs. I won't be rich, but it puts a good dent in my kids' college tuition! Best of Luck!!!
