NO SALES!!!

Greetings to ebay sellers! Dear colleagues, last month a little traffic started making it's appearance in my shop, but this time totally the opposite happens. No sale at all despite all my efforts and sitting up late in a period of a year. What is happening? I am trying to establish my little family business but very weird situations are taking place...

Re: NO SALES!!!

*sigh* Not another one of these..

 

Bro seriously, your prices are WAY too high.

 

I searched just 3 of your items (Hallway Clothes Rack, Poolside Garden Shower & Fishing Trip Bag) and your prices are double and sometimes 2 & 1/2 to 3 times more than others I've seen of the exact same item...

 

Why do people find it so surprising when they way overcharged for stuff that it isn't selling? Smiley Indifferent

Re: NO SALES!!!

Looks like you are drop shipping a lot of your merchadise and many buyer's don't like that. They'd rather go to Ikea, Wayfair ect and buy it from a bigger store where they know they won't have any problems if it arrives damaged.

 

You have alot of cute and unusual things as far as furniture - but then again - so does everyone else. 

 

Best to you - but you have a lot of competition when it comes to drop shipping. It's not as easy as it seems - you have to choose the right products and have dependable sources.

And most importantly, COMPETITIVE PRICES!

Re: NO SALES!!!

Manny buyers appear to be looking to score bargains and don't want to pay more for an item or a similar item, offered for less money by another seller.

Re: NO SALES!!!

Unfortunately you may have gotten in over your head without doing some research before going into the drop ship business. There are so many dropshippers out there you have a lot of competition and the prices you are expecting will be far and few. The biggest problem is your asking what most would pay for name brand items.

 

Another problem is Ebay rotates sellers on best match search. Some some months you may be on the first 20 pages and other months you will be on page 80. When you get to page 80 is when you start believing Ebay is hiding your listings but it's not true, just too far down for buyers to see your stuff. 

 

The only thing I think can help you is take the minimum profit you can by lowering your prices to stay competitive and branch out and use as many sources to find buyers as you can. It's a tough business dropshipping unless you have a niche item without lots of competition.
