Yeah you do have major problems for sure. Your asking a pretty penny and yet you take 1 picture and a bunch of background things. Your first listing, is that some kind of precision instrument? Those key words in the title are strange and nobody is going to type in to search let alone spell it correctly. 

     I would pull every listing and start over with good photos and descriptions.  You can't ask a buyer to shell out over $600 bucks for a glimpse of something.

Your listings need a lot of work.  You should take a picture of the item you are selling and ONLY the item.  Your prices are outrageous!  I am seeing the same thing you are selling on different sites for not even a 1/4 of the price you want. 

Your no returns policy will not hold water here on eBay.  No returns does not mean no refunds.  You need to acquaint yourself with eBay's money back guarantee that is offered to all buyers no matter what.  Your descriptions are very vague and that could also hurt you as well.  You should be more descriptive on the items condition, wear and tear, etc.  & if there is any wear and tear, you should put it in your photos as proof.   Also a good idea to read up on eBay policies and rules.  

Best of luck to you!

When you are selling "high value" items customer expect professional quality photographs.   You should use a clean white background with no clutter.

Also be aware that EBAY Money Back Guarantee (supersedes "no returns") allows customers to return item by claiming "not as described, counterfeit, defective".   EBAY does NOT require customer to prove their claims.  You will be forced to give a full refund (purchase price + shipping BOTH ways).  EBAY rules in favor of the customer (even if they return a box of rocks).

One sideways picture of the Omega? And I cant even tell by your picture what the first item is, its so cluttered. Agreed end your listings and start over,and your prices are not competitive with other sellers. You can do better.

First, stop, breathe and think about the things you purchase yourself. How do the photos look? How are the descriptions? What makes you want to buy an item? And then translate that to your own listings.

My suggestions, since your items are smaller, would be to find just a small clean space, with natural sunlight if possible, and take several clear pictures of the item and all the details that make it what it is. Background doesn’t have to be white, but it does need to show ONLY the item you’re selling. No clutter!

Make descriptions simple and accurate. Color, model, features, etc. And check your comps! What are other people selling (sold) similar items for? And what are they shipping for? You don’t want to be highest price, nor lowest. Find a happy medium.

It’s only as hard as you make it. With a little patience, you can do this!

Sending positive vibes!!

1. You need better photos without all that extra stuff in the background. Get a plain white sheet or since your items are small even just a piece of white paper and take your photo on it.

2. Your titles need some major work, think what a person might actually type in a search bar to find your item.

3. One of your listing I literally have no idea what you are even selling, I see a picture of what appears to be a penny?

4. if you are expecting someone to shell out several hundred dollars you need to have better pics, better titles, and better descriptions.

Someone please tell me in this photo what is being sold?

It says: 47mm Kampfschwimmer california dial. NO logo. Open back with an eta 6497 manual movement.

A mantra heard quite often in this forum is "don't list anything you can't afford to lose" since expensive items will attract scammers. I would suggest selling lower price items to get used to the process of selling and shipping. If you sell the Mont Blanc watch you need to get signature confirmation and it would be prudent to buy insurance for all the items since GA is only $100 insurance (I will add a handling charge when I have to buy extra insurance.) The other posters here have given you good information about your listings.

You received excellent feedback on how to proceed. 

End the listings and start over with new drafts. 

Take your time and read over the suggestions posted here carefully. Revamping the listings does not all have to happen in one day.

Best of luck to you moving forward.

A watch.  The price is competitive and the title does have key words, but the watch definitely needs to be removed from the box and cleanly, clearly photographed.   Personally, I'd try selling face to face.  How often are these watches scammed?

Is that Win8 I see in the background of one of those photos?

[aproudparent2010]

I mean where 
is the watch in this pic?
