My products have 0 views. Please, I need a critique on them...

About 15 hours ago I created my first 3 listings. However, up until now all the views I have gotten are from myself only.

I cannot find much information on how the eBay algorithm works,  so I would really appreciate it if some of you look at at least one of my products (they are all created with the same exact template)  and share your opinion on what I have done correctly and what is suboptimal.

Do I need to put more pictures? Each of my variations have no more than three pictures.

Should the keyword phrases in my title also be present in the description  and item specifics?

or maybe I should pay for  subtitle,  bolded title or larger picture? Maybe I should also put them on an auction instead of just "Buy it now"?

Anything about the listings aside, being a new seller they're probably routing all your listings by someone for review, and the listing then has to be indexed to the search for anyone to find it.  That can take up to 24 hours, so that may well explain any lack of views.

I think the pictures are good.

 

Generally, yes you'd want to get the keyword phrases into the description and Item Specifics too.

 

Subtitle, bolded, or larger picture is generally useless and expensive - I don't see any need.

EBay tells us when we upload our listings that they may take up to 24 hours to 'index' and be seen.

This takes longest with new sellers and with high value/high fraud listings.

 

We can see your listings through your ID and through your links, but it is quite possible that they are not yet public.

Thanx.

When I put some keywords that match my product into the search box,  my product pops up. Does this mean that it is already reviewed and indexed?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=set+of+6+cloud&_sacat=0

Also,  is it better not to  have "set of 6"  as my first keyword phrase  since it is not specific at all? The thing is,  my picture is of one product only,  instead of 6, and this is why I put "set of 6"-  to clarify the product content & explain the high price

This is normal. Even for established sellers it can take up to 24 hours for a listing to index in search.

 

Generally speaking, the more listings you have the more exposure you will receive. With only three listings your exposure will be less than if you had 50 or 100 or 1000 listings.

I cannot find much information on how the eBay algorithm works,  so I would really appreciate it if some of you look at at least one of my products (they are all created with the same exact template)  and share your opinion on what I have done correctly and what is suboptimal.

Your photos are good. You can add additional photos showing the item next to a tape measure. Even though you have measurements in your listing, sometimes people look only at the photos.

 

I also suggest your lead photo show 6 knobs since you are selling them in sets of 6.

Should the keyword phrases in my title also be present in the description  and item specifics?

 

Yes. Item specifics are very important. I do suggest making some changes to your titles.

 

SET OF 6 Kids dresser knobs Decorative drawer pulls Blue star handles Star knobs

 

change to:

Decorative Star Knobs Set of 6 MDF Wood Hypoallergenic Kids Dresser Blue White

or maybe I should pay for  subtitle,  bolded title or larger picture? Maybe I should also put them on an auction instead of just "Buy it now"?

No, those add-ons are pricey and not necessary. BIN is the way to go - this item is not likely to do well as an auction.

 

"Shipping time and refunds" - remove this entire section from your description. It is redundant because eBay already provides this information in the listing based on the settings you chose.

 

"Moreover, our cute kids' drawer pulls can be used as kids' door knobs."

The dimensions of the product look way to small for this statement to be accurate. I'm not sure how it would even work since the knobs are single-sided. If it's possible then you should include a photo of this suggested use.

 

"Many parents prefer to use these star dresser drawer handles on their kids' children's dresser, while others really like the way they fit on their kids' furniture."

This statement is redundant and I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Maybe something like, "Many parents love to use these decorative knobs to make their children's furniture fun and interactive."

thanks a lot, Bigger fish to fry

Plenty of great advice! I will change the title & put "set of 6"  after the first keyword  phrase. However, there are 6 key words that always have to be in my  title simply because they are super specific:

kids
knobs,  pulls,   handles
dresser,  drawer

I also have to put the shape of the knob-  for example "cloud" or " plane"

maybe I should at least one of the colours i offer

and, of course, " set of 6".


so I guess I don't have too much space for many other word editions...

JMO, but if it were me I would spell 6 out to

 

Set of Six.  That is how I would search.

In my opinion that is key word spamming. Knobs, handles and pulls are all very different. If I was searching for handles I would not want to see knobs.

change to:

Decorative Star Knobs Set of 6 MDF Wood Hypoallergenic Kids Dresser Drawer

 

This meets all of the criteria you said you need to include without key word spamming. It is not necessary to include color since that is part of the variation specifics.

Take the hearts out of the description. They are annoying and make viewing on some mobile browsers difficult

I have a shop on  Etsy and plenty of people search and find our products with keyword phrases containing   all three- knobs,  pulls &  handles. There are plenty of people with that don't have English as a first language... So just because they are synonyms does not mean that it is a spam. Unless eBay specifically has stated so, right?

Set of Six should be in the the title along with what they are made of.

 

And paint some, give ideas and get more shapes.

I understand Cassini likes 6 pictures.

 

Craft your titles by thinking what words would a buyer use to search for your item.

 

Do use item specifics.

 

Sub titles are not necessary.

 

Be sure to give an accurate description with all needed info so the buyer can make an informed buying decision.  If not, they hit the back button.
