You have 1 item for sale -

Did you honestly pay for a "store" when you would get 250 listings free without one?

Do you have this 1 item or are you drop shipping?

I dont see any photos that are yours, just stock photos?

I dont see any measurements. 

I don't see a photo of the labels inside the coat.

Looking at your listing the Payment, Shipping and Return policy should be removed.

They are all off putting to anyone who may think about buying a coat from Pakistan with no measurements.

It is summer in the US. Not many buyers looking for a leather coat.

Put the size of a jacket in the title.  Also, It is absolutely imperative that you put the measurements of your jackets in your listings.  Your one listing says XL but that is not a universal size.  Sizes vary from brand to brand and even country to country of manufacture (Asian sizes tend to run smaller than American sizes.)

You are in Pakistan which makes it more difficult when trying to sell to the United States.  Jackets such as yours are readily available everywhere in this country. Most buyers don't want to have to wait for something to be delivered from another country then in the event that it doesn't fit, have to go to the hassle of returning it.  

I see you just listed a book.   If you look at eBay search, it shows almost 500 of these books for sale and only about 75 have sold, for as little as $5.00 with free shipping.    If you are going to list books or other similar items, look at eBay's search and see how many are listed and how many have sold and at what prices.  Since you are in another country, you would have to price yours at less than most listings to even be competitive.  And would that even be worth your time and effort?

As much as I love a leather jacket, woke up at 4:30 am to an already muggy 80 degrees! The last thing I’d be shopping for would be leather. With that said, listing things out of season isn’t a bad thing, but just expect to sit on those items for much longer.

Doing your market research, having actual photos & measurements and knowing your customer base; these are all your friend. With millions of items out there, even if you by chance have the best one of anything, you will need many more to even be seen.

The world is such an interesting place with such a variety of cultures and customs.  From what little I have seen, many international sellers try to sell "American" items to America, which is not a bad thing but the competition is very heavy.

It seems like it would be better for international sellers to sell something unique to their country such as small antiques or collectibles, craft items, even some spices or teas or other things that we can't get in the U.S.

I've had a couple leather jackets in my lifetime and know for sure you need to try it on before purchase.  Maybe you could make ponchos instead that are one size fits all.
