Hi, I am a new seller on ebay. I am selling for 14 days my jewelry, no one sell(only 2 clicks) on my 60 items. Please, can you enter to my page "Bijur Jewelry" and look through whats wrong with my listings, why nobody buy my items?
Thank you for your answer.

What is it about your jewelry that you think will make it stand out among the other roughly 35 million pieces of jewelry available on eBay?

I hope. That's why I ask a help, maybe I make some thing wrong?

People are nervous about buying from a brand new seller with no history or feedback.

First thing I'd think is I'm buying from an overseas buyer...that's one thing that would push me away from the listing.

I also sell jewelry here, and here are my suggestions about your listings. Don't take offense, just letting you know what I see.
-- Description - You have a wall of text that talks about how great your jewelry is, but has no or very little info about the product you have listed.
-- Consitency - You have items listed as 925 sterling silver, but are also shown as "silver plated" in item details
-- You have Cubic Zirconia listed as Zircon
-- Pictures - Buyers stray away from stock photos, they want to see a natural pic of the item
-- Listing Titles - Very Vague - "Bijur Jewelry Brand New Handmade 925 Sterling Silver Earrings Stud with Gemstone" Name the gemstone. The first 4 words of your listing are very important, Bijur Jewelry Brand New, is most likely not a search string that many are using. Use what you do on Amazon, and you'll get better results.
-- Competition - You are selling in a category with very heavy competition. You need to be the cheapest to survive. If you search for "sterling cz earring", you'll get 80,000 results, most of them significantly cheaper than yours.
-- Feedback - People are wary of 0 feedback sellers. Take a handful of items and auction them at .99, and generate some sales, and get some feedback. Once you get a few in you'll have better reults.
That's a few ideas just from glancing at your listings.

I agree with every point made by jkfindings.
Your competition is selling comparative items for 99 cents with free shipping.

I see a couple of things in your listings that are hindering your sales.
1. Your pictures don't look real, many look like graphic renderings. You need photographs of each item.
2. All listings have one such rendering. You need pictures (more than one) of the actual items your offering.
3. Your descriptions are all the same - just cut and paste. You have offered no descriptive information of the particular item and certainly nothing romantic or flowery to entice buyers. If you don't care enough about your stuff to energetically describe and promote it, no one else cares either.
4. You are in a over saturated selling category. As "luckythewinner" said, your ads are mashed together like sand in the desert among 36 million (a number well beyond the entire population of some countries) other listings, most with attention grabbing ads ranging from; blah to semi-alert.
5. I have the impression your items are sold from the United States, but not made in the United States. I'll wager a cup of Baijiu on that.
6. Your listings include information under "Item Specifics" You don't need that 'feature". It's for auto parts and such. You can weave that into each of your individual item descriptions. And not just cut and paste for the rest.

"rhodium plating 925 sterling silver"
What the heck does that mean?
If it is not solid 925 Sterling silver, then you cannot say it is.
A St Patrick medal is normally not worn "to add an elegant piece of beauty for a night party or business dinner"
How big is it? Does the medal come with a chain? (Its pictured with one)
Oh, and, by the way ... the one pictured is St Christopher, not St Patrick.

Wrong.
Item Specifics are used in ALL categories. And should be filled out on EVERY listing.
They are what drive the filter buttons on the left of the page when you search.
They are also searchable.

Rhodium plating is very common on gold, platinum, and silver jewelry items. Rhodium is a white metal in the platinum family that is both very shiny, and prevents tarnish on silver. It's used on platinum and gold, becuase platinum is dull, and white gold isn't as white as most people think. It's used on silver to prevent tarnish. Just because a silver item is rhodium plated, does not mean it isn't solid silver.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering why all the newer sterling appears fake as in it doesn't tarnish.
Is there a specific marking for rhodium coated sterling, or gold?

OK ... but as a casual jewelry buyer ... I would not know that. And I am willing to bet that a buyer looking to purchase a St Christopher medal for their child or grandchild wouldn't know that either.
The way the OP has it worded, it makes absolutely no sense 😞

A couple of things......
Your St. Chistopher medal is said to be St. Patrick in the title.
You have cat earrings but no mention of cat in title/description...
Pictures are bland (stock)......nothing showing to give any idea of size......remember Americans have no conception of mm.
I think the earrings are for pierced ears.......but nothing tells me that and that would certainly be something one would search for. No pictures of the reverse side to show the type of clasp.
Titles contain few key words that people would/could search for.
Need to explain rhodium plating 925 sterling silver, I had to look it up for the meaning.
I am NOT a jewelry seller, and not much of a buyer of same, but those are the things I would question about the listing.... As people have pointed out, jewelry is a tough category and listings need to be "distinctive" to garner views. Try to think more like an average buyer when you make them........
Edit......apologies as a lot of this has been covered.......had trouble posting it....so took time.......

For plating, no, there's no marking. If you walk into a jewelry store and see white gold or platinum, 99% chance it's rhodium plated. Silver is a bit different, certain manufacturers will rhodium plate, while others won't. Silver can be polished to a high shine, and rhodium almost gives it a fakey look in my opinion. Rhodium is also not cheap, so plating silver is usually not very cost effective.
