You won't get many sales or views when you have no listings currently running.....

Currently have around 30active listings so don’t understand your reply

I don't see any listings on this name either. I see 3 sold LPs, but you have no active listings. That must be the reason why no one can see your listings. That is what needs to be resolved for you. Maybe try cancelling those listings and setting up new listings, completely from scratch. Otherwise, you need help from eBay.

You're in the UK and this is the .com site.  Can't see your listings as not logged into UK site.

I see 47 COMPLETED listings... nothing active on your account.

I have a second Ebay store JUST for vintage vinyl. NOTHING is on auction... everything is on Buy It Now. My sales have been slow as well, I have a feeling with the economic slowdown, price of gas, food, etc, that people aren't buying like they used to.

If I were you, I would relist all my unsold items at a minimum of $14.99, plus shipping (paid by the buyer) MINIMUM and let them sit... automatically renewing. Add more records as you get them. In my opinion, the majority of LPs you have listed aren't spectacular, either. I can find them at pretty much any Goodwill or other thrift store, garage sales, etc. It could be that the right buyer isn't coming along now on a limited time auction. It may take a year or two to sell.

As a buyer, when I see a record album I want to add to my collection, auctions turn me off... I want to buy the record NOW, not wait up to a week or so and see if my bid is the winning one. I just move on.

If what others have said is true that you are on the UK site so we can't see your listings then here's the low down....A little while back ebay modified the way they determine views.  Basically they're filtering out bots and spidering.  For example, if you share your item on social media it will generate robotic views. The other factor is unless you have some really desirable records,  30 items is not enough.  Ebay only rewards those who feed the beast regularly.  Ebay(algorithm) might not even understand what you're trying to do. As far as ebay is concerned you might start listing broken tea cups next.  They just aren't seeing enough activity to bump you.  The idea is to create an overlay of listings so you're constantly having listings refresh daily.  This means listing 30 albums a day not listing 30 and them waiting for them to sell.  That's long tail and can take years.

I am also seeing a slowdown on LP sales.  I like the idea of one fixed price and letting it ride, except for super rare items.  I have sold many records in the past and now it's very slow.  I sell mostly jewelry, books, records and other collectibles and records are selling the slowest by far.  Time to retool the listings.  I always list at BIN these days.
