My items are not selling.

[glamour.active]

Hello, I've been using eBay for a little while trying to sell yoga pants for my business. I've researched, looked at the sold items on eBay and changed things on my listing to try to sell it, included free shipping, returns, specific items that I hadn't added previously but so far I have sold almost nothing so I don't know what else I could do. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I can't offer any real help.  I can tell you only that clothing is a tough sell right now because the clothing market on eBay is not just saturated, it is over-saturated.  

When I search for "women's sport leggings," specifically, I get 290,000 result, and the great majority of them are less expensive than the ones you sell.   So you have entered a market with truly fierce competition.

I hope things pick up for you, and I hope others may come along here to offer you some advice.

@glamour.active Because you are asking, I am offering you some advice, take what you feel is appropriate to use. You are coming across as if you know nothing about how to sell online because you show one feedback. What you need to do is acquire FB as a seller quickly. You also need to leave FB for sellers you've purchased from, you had one sale but haven't left any feedback. That type of interaction and quid pro quo makes you seem like you understand how online selling works.

Start selling small items from around your house. Price them cheaply just to sell them quickly. Always leave FB for each of your buyers too. Many times, when a buyer receives FB first, they are more likely to reciprocate. As you begin to accumulate FB as a seller, buyers will be more confident to purchase from you. You can do this, but you need to put in some groundwork first. 

Also, you sometimes use stock photos. You should always use photos of your actual items for sale. Remember you are selling to complete strangers on the internet. Why should someone choose your listing over another? You need to entice them with your photos and using stock photos doesn't distinguish you from any of the other sellers of the same product. Best of luck to you....

Your listings look great.  The only thing I can think of is that your feedback is low.  Feedback is a bit of a controversial topic on here it seems.  Buyers don't leave it much anymore; less than 10% of my customers/sales leave feedback.  I don't sell much compared to a lot of others, but the only reason I have the amount of feedback that I do is because back in the day (I started selling in 1999) it was common to leave feedback for every transaction as a buyer or a seller.  They say that buying is a good way to get feedback and that is my advice to you still.  Even so, there are sellers that don't believe in giving buyers feedback because since 2008 sellers can only give positive feedback so they feel feedback has lost its meaning.  At the same time they are wary of selling to buyers with zero feedback...soooo yeah feedback is considered crucial and meaningless at the same time.

Since so few of my sales leave feedback and because I want to support ebay, I have been buying more on ebay as opposed to Amazon.  Until quite recently I would get positive feedback from every seller but this past couple months I have had to ask for feedback AFTER I already left the seller positive feedback.  I paid promptly, caused to problems, etc.  This is pretty outrageous to me.  As a seller, I always leave feedback if someone pays me, even before I've actually mailed the item out.  To me if they pay, that's what I care about.

Anyway, so far I have been able to get more feedback by buying, leaving positive feed back to the seller and then in some cases asking for feedback.  Some sellers do still leave positive feedback after paying without being asked.

Selling Clothing on any Internet Sale Site is a Tough Gig.   Shoppers are a little more hesitant now because of the Recession we are in, even though the Government says we aren't.   It's hard to compete with the larger Brick and Mortar Stores that offer Free Shipping and coupons.

Give a good description of the items, not what's already in the titles.

[ckimodog]

Your prices are rather high compared to others who are selling the same thing.  You may want to knock them down a bit.

Happy Selling!

Adding on to what was said above I see some problems with your listing.

Get the brand name in the title.

There is a lot of information in the item specifics. But when you get to the written description all you do is copy and paste the headline. It is not enough to LIST an item. You have to create a BUZZ about the item. I am of the belief that item specifics are for the benefit of the search engine. But I want to see some good old fashion words about what I am about to buy and why I should buy it from you, not someone else. Absent that I am going somewhere else.

Take the features expressed in the items specifics and expand upon them in the description. Don’t assume that everybody understands the significance or advantage of High Rise or a pocket. Some of your audience might be new to Yoga and these are the first pants they are buying. In this rush rush world I want to know exactly HOW MUCH easy care they are. What is the range of the waistband. etc.

If you can not be bothered to tell me why I should buy from you I am not going to buy from you.

“You talking to me?”  yes you are as in last 2 years during pandemic I bought online 5 or 6 new yoga pants or sweats.  So comfy. Easy Peasy 

paid regular retail prices all same brand different colors, materials.  I really liked they had matching hoodies too which I also bought.

better bigger close up pix helps.  Pix of color pix of fabric

Honestly? If I want no brand working clothes, I’ll shop on SHEIN or Amazon for a third of your prices.

This as a description is not helping:

Women's Workout Running Tight Pink Leggings High Waist Gym Yoga Pants Size S,M,L is "New with tags". Shipped with USPS First Class.

None of that says anything about the item, it just repeats what's already there and is a lazy way out.  People are picky about compression shorts and tights, and I mean people of both sexes.  You need to tell them why your tights and shorts are better than the others.  Particularly at your prices.

ETA: Format problems.
