How to get more views on articles I'm selling?

[dudelove14]

Hi! Most of my articles I'm selling on Ebay has 0 views, 0 folllowers & 0 auction bids; I don't understand why?

Should I make the title of my articles shorter? longer? Should I include key words that people usually type when searching for an article?

There's an option to sponsor my ads but it costs 7€ so I don't think it's worth it not to mention it's expensive ( when adding all the other fees that Ebay charges you)

Keywords are...well...key.

I cannot see any listings so other than that I can't comment.

You have no listings.

No one can offer you advice on your listings when you post from a different account.

No one here can help you.  In order to get help we need to see the problem and without listings we cannot do that.

One reason might be that you only offer shipping within France. That would limit your potential viewers dramatically.

Are you looking at the Seller Hub on .com or .fr? It's possible (don't know for sure) that your views showing in the Hub on .com isn't showing your views in France.

Final comment, your listing Titles are TERRIBLE, you need more key words or a) nobody will find them in search and/or if they do appear on search they will be buried many pages deep.

For example you have a listing with the title "Miroir" and nothing else, if you search that word there are 200,000 matches, because of your title your listing will be buried on page 100 or 200 and no buyer will ever scroll through that many pages.

For the record it's eBay, not Ebay.

Yes I should of posted from my Ebay seller account so you can see my listings & identify the problem & what I'm doing wrong.

Anyway here's the link to the listing of all the items I'm selling: Mon eBay - En cours

Yes I'm located in France. I live in France. Maybe not many people in France use ebay compared to the UK & the US hence why I'm not getting any views on my articles?

Anyway here's the link to my profile page with all the items I'm selling: Mon eBay - En cours

The help the buyer wants/need is universal, it doesn't matter where they are listing or where they ship to. The OP's problem is with their listing titles (see my previous post).

[krazzykats]

Need to change your shipping policies then.  No one in the US can buy your items. 

If you currently have any items listed, we can't see them in the US because you don't ship here.

[dudelove14]

Oh okayy thanks for your answer. I thought that you should use basic key words that people type on the Ebay search engine? Because I if I write a title too long with words that people don't use then nobody will find my ad?

I've listed all my items on Ebay.fr not Ebay.com since I live in France so that's not the issue. But I do only offer shipping in France and not abroad as the delivery fees would be too expensive for the buyer & for me the seller since on most items I propose free delivery for the buyer so I have to pay the shipping fees.

When someone searches eBay they will probably use on a few words, listings that match ALL the words will appear first in search, listings that only match one word will be much further down the list and listings that don't match any words will be hidden completely.

Using your Mirror listing as an example, most people would be searching for a round, rectangular or square mirror, they might want one in a specific type of frame or size or a specific style of mirror. When they search they will use all of those keywords and eBay will show them listings that match their search. A listing title with only one word won't be shown to them or if they do it will be AFTER they show listings that are closer matches.

I understand the issue with offering your items to overseas but you should at least offer them within the EU.

Right so If I change the title of my item "Miroir" to a longer title such as " Miroir murale rectungulaire 30cm x 20cm pour chambre" will it get more views?

Will the potential buyers have to type the whole title to find my item or just 1 word?

For example if they type "miroir mural" and not "miroir murale" will they find my item?

Maybe I should advertise my items on Ebay.com aswell as Ebay.fr since most people who use Ebay are non-French people i.e Americans, Brits and other Europeans ( Germans, Russians, Spaniards,etc)?
