You can try to run some short term markdown or promotion.

You can start with some 2% promotions on your items just to get experience and examine whether it boost some views. Well also a great advice that I got from an expert in the forum is to list and item from the eBay UK site. https://www.ebay.co.uk/ 

You can log onto it using you same login credentials used for the US site. The buyers which come across your items from the UK Site might view you to see your other items too. Just a suggestion ^^

Happy Selling

Your pricing is the issue. >2x pricing = few views and even fewer sales.

I don't think I have any ideas to help you increase your sales to the U.S. 

Your items are expensive.  Your items ship from Greece, which means it could take a while to get the items and there might be customs issues. All of the items can be bought Stateside for the same or less, without such delays.

You use stock photos, which is never good because it makes buyers wonder if you actually have the goods on hand or are drop-shipping. 

Your policy that you do not accept returns troubles experienced buyers who know that "no returns" does not mean "no refunds: and fear that you do not and so there could be hassles if there is a problem with the item. 

Remember that you asked.

The Detox Clarifying & Moisturizer Gel and the bath bomb do not use the brand name "Kylie Skin" or "Kylie Jenner" anywhere in the listings, meaning that even if someone wants exactly the products you are selling, they won't find them. The gel costs 1/3 less from Nordstrom, also with free shipping. The bath bomb is listed at the same price as other sellers but it doesn't look like they've sold any either so it's not at a price people are willing to pay.

     If you are going to suggest a poster utilize promoted listings you should also make them aware of what the cost to them is for doing so. Personally I would NEVER recommend the utilization of PL to any seller although there are those that swear it boosts sales despite the fact that nobody has the ability to substantiate those claims there are simply too many variables involved.

Not the best advice to pass along without providing the OP some additional information with regards to the cost of using PL.

     With regards to importing cosmetics into the US you may want to check some of the US customs and import laws before you ship anything to prevent it from being seized by customs.

Your "bath bomb" is listed under "antiques category" (you need to change to skin care).   Also I would include the brand name on your title line.   Also include all "item specifics" that apply to your items (this helps Search Engine find your items).

I think that we can put just a little bit of the responsibility onto the seller.  She should understand that making money takes effort.

Happy New year.  My suggestion is that you do some research concerning your products.  Your items are a bit pricey compared to the others. 

Using promoted listings isn't necessary right now as you only 3 items for sale and have yet to sell anything.  Don't spend any more money on 3 listings than you have to spend. 

You may want to do some research to compare and stay competitive price wise.  You should take your own pictures and not use stock photos.  People want to know exactly what they are receiving.  My guess is that you are limited to only list 3 items until you accumulate some sales.  You may want to read up what can and cannot be exported from your country.  That's important.  Package your items carefully when you ship.  That's also important.  You need to accept returns especially in the cosmetic category.  No returns does not mean no refunds.  

I wish you well and Happy Selling.

Hi!

    My advice would be to list more items you only have 3 listings 😊

[ckimodog]

@shashedevind0 

The Op only has 3 listings.  Promoted listings are really not in the best interest of this new seller.  They need to accumulate sales and sell more items than just 3.  It doesn't make sense money wise.

Personally, I hit the "back" button on most private listings. Unless items are very personal, adult, fetish or otherwise, there's little legitimate reason and lots of questionable reasons why someone would have private listings on the types of items you're selling. 

Buyers like to look at a seller's history and what they sold and private listings prevent that. It makes me question what such sellers are hiding and why they don't want me to know their history.
