My sells are down and a lot are not showing up on ebay.

[faywoller0]

I am really done with e-bay. I work my tale to the bone adding items and mark them as low as possible, but with all the shipping material and cost I am not making enough hardly to buy the shipping material. I sell mostly women's, girls, men, juniors, and boys clothes along with dinner ware. I know clothes are rampant on e-bay, but I find some of other people's items priced way more than some of  mine and not in as good of shape. If anyone can give me some fresh ideals I would greatly appreciate it. I have changed my listing to buy it now, auction, let buyer give offer just seems like nothing is working. I am thinking about leaving e-bay and be done with these auction sites. Would it be best if I just try and sell it all as a bundle and get it over with. Thanks for you help in advance.

In your title you state some listings are not showing up.

Give us item numbers so we can see if we can find them.

There are thousands upon thousands of clothes so there is no way we can check to see if something is missing. I went ahead and did a check for your lot of 4 men's ties. There are over 2,000 other sellers also selling 4 men's ties. Good news for you with a 200 per page search, your is on the first page. You have a 1/2000 chance of selling your ties. If there is anything specific you think is hidden let us know and we can check. I will guarantee yours is there somewhere within those millions listed.

I don't deal with the categories a lot of your items fall into, but I'm familiar with some of the brands. 

This might not be pleasant to hear, but a lot of these listings feature low-end, low-demand items. Faded Glory, for instance, is a Walmart in-house brand. That stuff is pretty cheap brand new. Pre-owned clothing usually commands a fraction of the new price, and that's even more so with more common brands. 

Another issue is that with common brands, you're going to be dealing with a TON of competition. It's easy for stuff to get lost in the shuffle.

Finally, with a saturated market, you'll usually find less turnover. There may be 2,000 listings come up in an Old Navy jacket search result, but if the completed sold listings for that search are a couple hundred, that means a lot of this stuff is being passed over and going unsold.

Ultimately that's not an eBay issue.

Best of luck.

You also have some spelling errors in some of your titles.  "Niclelodem" should be "Nickelodeon," and if I were you I would use the full name of the show (Spongebob Squarepants) to help your item be seen in even more searches.  You don't need the "blue-multi" part of the title so ditch that in favor of adding the full show name.  For that little blue monkey toy, it should be "Fingerling" rather than "Fingerlilng."

Also, I would work on your photo technique.  A lot of your photos are very blurry, which makes it hard to see the item clearly.  That's going to turn away a lot of buyers who want to be able to examine the item closely before they hit "Buy."

Yes, but searching an item number is very specific for the system to identify. Searching by title is the problem unless you have the exact title if you use few keywords in the title, then the item you're looking for may be on the 178th page or maybe not,

I always search by item or model numbers to narrow down but I guess in clothing’s you can't do that.

Not giving advice here but if I had a pile of used clothing I would donate it all and enjoy the extra space that would create.

No just needed the item number to see which ones she is having problems with.

Then I use the wording in the titles to see if I can find it.
