I have 58 items up for sale and barely any of them are getting a lot of views. I have a $1 handling charge to the calculated shipping. I have free shipping for only one item - is that bad? I am wondering if some of these items are better suited for other platforms like Mercari or Amazon? I am also getting some very low-ball offers for a couple items too that I've either countered or declined. I think I've described and took clear enough photos for everything. Since the new set of items posted in October, I only made 6 sales. I promoted a couple of them but no luck. I don't like to do that for all of them because it would cut into the profit. Any help or suggestions would be welcomed if you can take a look at my listings. Thanks in advance.
Alright Post #16 still was not answered nor my latest replies. I can see there are cheaper services to offer like First Class Mail letter and First Class Mail Large Envelope though for some reason when I choose First Class Mail Letter it is not showing up as a shipping service after the item is revised. Why is that?
Now I have another issue. Thanks to the replies here something else sold but after I sent the invoice and the buyer paid, lol and behold First Class Mail Large Envelope was NOT included in the shipping options to pay online. I further read that it is really for paper documents and doesn't even have tracking. Why on earth would eBay even allow a seller to ship non trackable merchandise is beyond me. That's just asking to be scammed by a buyer! I'm going to post about this in the shipping forum as I cannot figure that one out.
That isn't a gray towel - it is light green and old but I agree I will use white poster board from now on.

4- that checkbook cover is selling for $4.95 with over $6 to ship?? Wrong.
I don't believe it was over $6 to ship originally before I changed it to Large Envelope but could be wrong depending on the location it's shipped to. But with the next cheapest option - USPS Ground Advantage if I am in the same zipcode, the it is $5.25 even though it only weighs an ounce! Look at this post - USPS has eliminated the First Class parcel option and it doesn't qualify for First Class Letter or Large Envelope options as it's NOT paper docs and is untraceable unless you pony up the $14.99 a month to get free label stickers on Pitney Bowes that you have to be a COMMERCIAL , not retail customer of! How on earth would I even be able to ship it cheaper than that? Look at this thread if you don't believe me:
