How to increase views and traffic on my listing

Does anyone know how to increase views and/or traffic for my listing? I got a bunch of games I'm trying to sell but some aren't even getting much views or traffic. I even have to delist at least almost 80 games due to not getting much traffic or views. So I decide to provide 2 links to see what I'm doing wrong to see if there's something wrong with some of my listings.

Whether it's picture blurry, lack of description, I just need to know what can I do to ensure they get sold. Here's a photo that has few unsold games out of the many other games that aren't sold for example.Screenshot 2025-07-31 at 13-54-22 My eBay Unsold.png

Re: How to increase views and traffic on my listing

I got some customers wanting me to get better shots. Wdym by check the competition price? And wdym by customers being frugal? You also mention I need to list more items to draw more view. I have been listing items it's just the games that were delisted are because they hardly get any attention like only 1 view and no more.

Or maybe I'm trying to match other competition price based on how much they're selling.

Selling items that people are interested in buying will increase views.

Vintage belt buckles = Low views

The latest Nike shoes = High views

I agree that your photos need work.  I don't know your market so I am not qualified to judge your pricing etc.  

 

I will add that Marketing 101 says to not price things in round numbers.  So your $20 item is $19.95 or $19.99.  Human nature is that people see it's less than $20!

Picture I get, but I'm also trying to tell them the the games I'm selling has been tested and works. As for authentic, I thought I need that word for game cartridges, cause you got other sellers are selling bootleg reproduction cartridge, while mine is original and authentic. Shipping price high how? 


You should look at my post a little closer.  I understand what you are trying to tell your potential buyer, but the way you have it written says something completely different.  But it is your listing, you like it the way it is, you have the right to leave it.  You just asked for how to increase your views and traffic, so I gave you some information.  Your choice whether to use it or ignore it.

I'll bet you a dollar that their traffic and views increased ..... because they posted their troubles on this board and people went to look. ............................................


Seriously doubtful I was looking at the photos the OP posted so…..I make it a point not to look at others listings…I get bombarded with unsolicited offers when I did look.

Remember to clear your Recently Viewed items on a regular basis.

If you want to disregard all the advice given you on this thread because you feel you know better, why did you start this thread??

 

"Wdym by check the competition price?"  You don't know what a competitor is on the site?  Are you serious?

 

You don't need to match competitor pricing, but you do have to compete with it.
