My items aren't sold, but every day my competitor got sales

[paradise_nauticals]

Can someone help me give me tips on this, please.

Why does eBay not help old sellers, but if I open a new eBay account, 100 percentage items will be promote.

Hard to say who you call your 'competitor', but first glance at your listings, as a USA buyer I see 'From India' and would look elsewhere.  I mean nothing disparaging by that, but I would just know that it would take MUCH longer to get my item than if I looked for a USA seller as a USA buyer. 

Looking closer, the 'Estimated Delivery Date' confirms it:  Nearly TWO months?  Instant 'look elsewhere' for me.

I don't know what your competitor is/has

but this listing:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-Antique-Brass-Desk-Articulation-Lamp/264652179651?hash=item3d9e7fc8c3...

is confusing......  you show 1 lamp, but in item specifics: 

Packing:: Packed in 2 parcel

so is the listing for 1 or 2?...........what is the size of these lamps? 

I REALLY dislike the term "Model Antique"............it's a reproduction and you have it listed in Antiques......

so there are a couple of reasons, I wouldn't buy......whether that is indicative of others, I don't know.

I simply do not believe that your lack of success is due to eBay "promoting" other sellers and "not helping" you.

I think you need to take a closer look at your listings and determine out why they are not more attractive to buyers.

What exactly is a "Mid Century Modern Antique"?

I checked the sold listings for your tripod lamp. All 3 were international sales as well, but they sold for $61, $105 and $152. Yours is most expensive, listed at $160. People usually buy the lowest price for an available item.

I don't know anything about your competitor.

1. You are in India...instantly turns me off as someone in USA

2. Almost 2 months to receive.....turn off

3. Listings are confusing...

4. Your feedback percentage is a turn off to some

5. Stock photos are a turn off to me....makes me think you are a drop shipper

6.

Thank you for your prompt reply to my question.

My item is in Brass but since I know that Antiques are more famous in the USA, I oxidized my item to antique brown finishes.

Okay. Just fine. What if I want to sell my items in the category Antiques or Home & Garden but what words or titles I choose? I do research use tools like Terapeak, and other words for title optimization. But I didn't come up on top of the Best Match search results after selecting hot keywords

I do not even know everybody likes to buy items from India, but since 2015, I've been selling on eBay and it's my full-time online business.

I am really grateful for your help.

I don't want to list my item in the category Antiquities but what should I do instead.

My only business to me and my family is eBay. I'm not using amazon, Etsy or any other Ecommer website.

Okay, well I use the category home & garden, but there's a 20 percent higher competition than Antiques category.

And even eBay does not support us and after 2018 I feel like eBay doesn't show our product to US buyers

I don't know what to do to sell my goods on eBay

Have a sale & try lowering your item prices

It's a keyword spam

[pargran3]

Keyword spam and deliberate "aging" of new items.

Totally unacceptable listings.

That just might be the reason for lower sales. The OP has stated in this thread that there is deliberate misleading of the items for sale.
