Re: I never come here..But our sales..never so bad..hardly any, we are in clothing...any thoughts?

As a former seller of womens clothing, I’m curious to read everyone’s input.  I used to also do a great deal of shopping (for just about everything) but lately if I’m searching for, say a sweater in a NWT in a size 3X, located in the US, I MAY get as many as 200 sweaters.  Now I know  there are enough sellers on eBay that there has to be more than what was provided.  As a buyer, I’m frustrated, too!

Dunno - I'm doing pretty well with my little starter store and OP is doing quite well with their rather small number of listings, also.   There's only so much of *anything* that's going to sell on a site that is as overloaded as eBay.

Ive been doing this for 14 years and supplementing my income..I have great feedback and am a stellar seller..I have no intentions of leaving unless there is a Good reason for doing so..Youre reason was, imo, rather ridiculous 🙂 The next fellows comment to yours was appropriate! 🙂

Not 30 sales a day..Not sure how you came up with that, but up until the last several weeks we have been doing a robust business

It's not so much how Laststop sees it, it's a matter of good SEO.  You want to write titles for SEO, not for the buyers.  Without good SEO practices, the buyers won't see your listings.  eBay tells us the first 4 words of the title are the most important (I believe it's 4, I don't have time to look it up right now).  Again without looking it up, I believe it's s'posed to be Brand, Item (dress top pants), color & size.   SEO is #1.   Then again, you have way more FB than I do 😃, so you know what you're doing, but this is how eBay tells us to write titles for SEO Optimization.

@thefussymussy   I think you've confused posts.  I said that you were doing well and should continue as you are.
