Hello there I recently started selling on ebay and have some active listings.
1-Question : is if I lower my asking price on my listings do potential customers see that adjustment in price even though they haven't been a watcher only viewed my item?
2-Question: Or is it better to just relist at a lower price?
Thank you in advance for your responses in my 2 part questions.

They will be able to see revisions but it will just say price and not the amount of the price change.
If it's not selling I raise the price. I'm not kidding.

I don't see anything wrong with most of your prices, some of that shipping cost could use help but for most part looks OK to me.
When buyers do an advance search they can view the lowest price, lowest shipping etc.
Cassettes, does anyone even buy them and use anymore? I always thought they had the worst sound but that's me. Maybe they just collect them to display.
Anyway, don't relist at a lower price, from what I viewed your not out of line at all.

Yes I know I have to adjust some of my shipping cost on some items.
Yes people do actually buy my music cassettes especially the factory sealed ones. Sales trickle slowly but it happens. Thanks in advance

Once you revise the price then that will be the only price new viewers see. If someone is watching then when you reduce the price they will get a notification, at least in theory, that there has been a price reduction.
And in response to fab_finds4u, raising the price is a valid retail strategy that I used many times in my brick and mortar store, but it must be done judiciously where the customer may perceive a low price as indicating low quality.
One other note, you need to brighten up the background on your photos. I use Gimp, a free photo editing program. The program has a tool under "Colors" tab, the "levels" option. Choose the tool on the far right with the white square to adjust those backgrounds to make them whiter. Start at the brightest part of the background to avoid over brightening the photo.
