No sales in 4 months. Lowering prices does nothing. Sending offers does nothing. No one responds or counters or even asks questions. I listed a $110 handbag new with tags for $19 and still no one will buy. Either my listings are invisible or there are simply no buyers anymore. I have decided to quit and throw everything in the trash. Anything that doesn't sell by the end of April is being thrown out. Good lucks guys.

Don't give up. I would recommend you change your pictures though and try to find a solid background if possible even if you lay it on the floor and you stand on a chair to take the pic or have someone wear it. Add more inviting details about the item. Go into the sold listings of similar items and look at their pictures and descriptions. 🙂

Good luck with your future endeavors!

I don't see any completed listings.......and no solds.......in the last three months.......How much have you been listing?

Do (did) you shop prices? Yours is the highest price on the snakeskin boots? Also, right now might not be the time to list somewhat expensive coats and animal fur........

Why would you throw things in the trash when there will be people who are out of work and in need of clothes? At least donate them once things settle down. Throwing it away is needlessly overfilling our landfills AND depriving needy people of something they could use.

Maybe it has to do with what you are selling? All fur or real leather items. It's not socially acceptable anymore and many aren't interested in buy that or wearing it.

It's a niche market, and furs are going to be difficult in Spring and Summer.

Seasonal goods are seasonal.

When I was selling woodstoves, our busy season was August to November. (By November we were scheduling installations in February.)

Our patio line - another seasonal product- started selling in January and dropped dead on Mother's Day.

The OP might do better by opening sales to buyers in Japan where the luxury market still accepts furs. The Japanese customer is stereotypically extremely honest.

Those are not the only two possibilities for why you are getting no sales.

You only have four listings, and no $19 handbag.

One small thing~ delivery signature technically should not be required at this price point, and many would-be buyers might not currently want a face-to-face with the delivery people, many being quarantined. good luck~

Not necessarily. This month alone there are tons of Silver Fox Fur Jackets that have sold. Real fur still sells it's more popular than people think.

I see 4 listings of fall/winter season in a transition-to-spring/summer. I don't see much luck there. Save them until Labor Day. They're perfectly good items.

It would also help if you put the Size in the Title and all the measurements in the Description.

I can take a garment up, but I can't let it out.

You're probably further ahead by just throwing it out saving yourself the headaches and expenses of having some buyer wanting to return it at your expense.
