Hi,

I don't understand why. I need some advice on what I need to do or not do to correct.  Please help if you can.

Thank you.

#1 thing I would suggest is stop the auction listings.

Do a BIN and put the price you want. Dont bother with the "best offer" on them.

I agree with the above.   Modern eBAyers aren't interested in waiting.    They want the item RIGHT NOW!

Thirded with the others about going BIN.  Most of what you have listed won't have enough demand to justify an auction.  Basically most of them for general items either end with no bids or one bid for the absolute minimum, so you really don't get anything out of it anyway.  So all the auctions basically are is an annoyance to the buyer who knows they'll likely win the item anyway, and would rather just cut to the chase, as it were.

2 things.

#1. Stop doing auctions. Ebay stopped being about auctions years ago.

#2. You have to research prices. You can't just guess, or list yours in the mid range of listed prices and think it will ever sell The ones in the cheapest 25 percent of the listed range generally sell and are replaced over and over again while the top 75 percent of the listed price range never sells. Most of the time when an item sells it is the cheapest one shipped on the site for like items.

I randomly price checked the first item you had that was easy to find an exact match for, the Farberware Coffee pot. Yours is listed for auction at $34.99. None in the 9 sold listings cracked the $30 mark, and 5 other sellers have the same one for cheaper buy it now. There is zero chance you researched the price on that Coffee pot and then came up with $35 and if you weren't researching prices on something like that which can be done in seconds then I am betting you are not researching any prices. 

Proper price research is what took me from $300 a week in sales to $400 a day in sales.

I Agree Go With BIN, Maybe keep the Nike Shoes on auction?

For the stuff you are selling, your starting price at auction it is not going to happen. If you do not want t lower your starting price skip auctions and sell for fixed price instead.

Its not just your items.

Was watching James of "My Boring Reseller Life" on youtube today, his post for today, and he knew something was going on bad with his listings.  Called in to ebay, was told there had been some major server crashes in Salt Lake City and San Jose due to a recent update ebay did that trashed/messed up the site.  If any/all your items resided on those servers, they were not being seen, therefore, weak/no sales.  No one could see those items.

@rugerskick   A youtuber that was told by CS always gets an answer they are happy with. That is what CS is paid to do. Believe me no crashes that resulted in hundreds of thousands of hidden listings.

I see 35 listings for you.

The ebay seller I refer to, who posts on youtube, has been selling on ebay for 21+ years. Over 60,000 items listed.  Six figure sales per year, not a lightweight by any means.

He's not just a noob who fell off a turnip truck and will believe anything ebay tells him.

I believe you need to end the habit of flawed gross generalizations that presume you can't get to ebay people on the phone who are able to tell sellers useful and accurate information on multiple problem topics.
