How to increase views and traffic on my listing

[drmonkey98]

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.

I can tell you this…your images are very dark and have a shadow on them possibly your shadow. 
You need to take pictures of your items in natural light like outside and don’t stand over them casting your shadow onto the games. 
Try to take pictures of disks so your reflection isn’t on them.

You could try promoting. In a competitive market like video games it might help.

Also consider free shipping. $8 shipping charge on a video game is off putting, at least visually.

You seem to know what you need to do.  I'm not sure why you are delaying fixing those issues.  

Pictures need to be clean and crisp.  Free of shadows and glare.  

What does this mean as it seems to contradict itself "No Manual Tested WORKING AUTHENTIC".  Because you run it together, it looks like it was NOT tested but you are saying it is working and authentic.  I think what you are trying to say is that it does not come with a manual and that you did test it and it works fine.  But that simply is not how it reads.  When you run stuff together in a title it can be a little tricking to word it so that you get your point across but without misunderstandings.  This one is actually pretty bad.  Take out the word "authentic" so you have space to put some spacers in your title so it is more easily read and makes sense.

Suggestion:  NARUTO NINJA COUNCIL 2 ~ GameBoy Advance GBA ~ No Manual ~ Tested & Working

Do some research on your pricing.  I checked a couple and you are really high compared to other sellers on Ebay.  So you should consider lowering your pricing on those that it would be appropriate for.  But do your research first.

You have one or more clothing items.  Work on those titles.  Size and color should be in the title.

Your shipping also seems high.  Make sure you are in line with that too.  While the games do NOT qualify for Media Mail, Ground advantages after the discount shouldn't be as high as you are charging.  But I could be wrong with the recent increases.  However it is worth a peek.

You really need to improve your photos!, Make them very clear & brighter, I am not familiar with those games but you may want to check the competition's prices, Also customers are being more frugal with their money due to so much uncertainty, Many are concerned about back to school costs at this time as well, You also need to list more items to draw more views, Good Luck.

The two most common reasons.....

1 - No demand

2 - Price too high

I checked one of the listings you referenced, quite a few recent sales of the same game so demand is not the issue. Comparing prices, you are at the high end so I would conclude that #2 may be the reason you are not getting sales.

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. ............................................

The board exist to help sellers like the OP.  😍

[gwens*4saleitems*]

Yes, I know that. And what I said, I said...............

They got an uptick in views, which is what they were asking for.

But our views don't matter except to help advise them so they can get some views that may turn into sales.  

I get it, you are being sarcastic!!!

I think it would be pretty obvious to the OP that this particular uptick is hardly organic and thus irrelevant.

How bout the dining room with the item on the table and me on the chair? Will that help me? 

[drmonkey98]

Promote it how? Like promote listing for a fee that'll come out of the payout upon it bring sold? Or through SM (Social Media)?

[drmonkey98]

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?

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.
