How to get some reach

Hey guys thanks for having me . I'm new to this whole eBay store but I do know my items are one of a kind. I'm wondering the best and most practical ways to drive eyes to my page ? Seems like everyone is either to full of hatred to show me love or they simply just don't see what I'm selling because of the endless amounts of **bleep** that is sold on eBay .  Has anyone had any luck going live ? Is it possible to do give aways or raffles on eBay ? I need ideas to get people on my page . I've decided I need to turn this whole thing up a notch ! All your ideas or opinions mean the world to me ! Thank you

A form of the word is in their name.

Did you get written permission from Metallica to reproduce and sell their artwork? Weren't they the guys that very publicly went to war with Napster because people were pirating their material?

Why would you even think that?  No one wants to see you fail.  And no one hates you.  We don't even know you.  People here are trying to help you.   I'm sorry if you equate that with "hatred" because it certainly isn't.

It strikes me that most of those holographic works you have on offer are brands or trademarks protected by copyright.

Since you are producing them yourself, perhaps using original work would be safer and more legal.

Not true. @1786davycrockett saw a potential threat to your account, and gave you information to consider. There was nothing hateful in that post. It merits concern that you felt it did.

 

It is very hard being a very sensitive soul in such a hard world.


I know first-hand. That had to be addressed when i started selling online, and it was possible to learn how to shelter that part of me. One must develop and nurture a thicker skin in order to successfully navigate this world. Doing so enables serenity.

 

We are all humans with frailties. As such, it is important to set the fear and hurt aside when doing business online. If you expect the worst and see only hatred when others are trying to help, you are opening a door, and in walks fear and pain. 

Coming to the forums, you get what you get. But there are many knowledgeable and experienced sellers here who volunteer their time and expertise to help fellow sellers. Not a hateful group on the whole. (There can be trolls, but they are everywhere.) So please meet us halfway and see if we cannot get you pointed towards a solution.

On the whole, eBay does not allow Chance listings. The link to the policy is below.

Another possibility to draw more traffic to one’s listings is to use Search Engine Optimization principles in listings. This allows more outside search engines like Google or Bing to pick up one’s listings for inclusion in their results, as well as eBay’s search engine (named Cassini) to improve one’s placement in eBay Search results.

 

To learn about SEO, see the link below.

 

Good luck to you and please come back anytime you need help. Best wishes for your success.

Well what's the difference between 1 and 100. If items are collectors items , wouldn't you rather be a few gems then a sea of garbage ? I'm not looking to nec have 10 million sales just some good ones on the books ? 


Now I see what's going on.

 

FYI, in real life, self-pity fueled by an entitlement mindset / grandiose delusions is a first class ticket to nowhere.
