I am pretty new in selling and have stepped out and listed lots of items, but they are not selling.
Anyone have the time to check out my site and give me some ideas?
Thanks!
Hi, took a look at your listings and had some thoughts. First, great job in using your Item Specifics! Your listings are fine overall, a little tweaking might be of some help. You are already doing some eBay Best Practices that assist with Search placement. With so much competition, the higher your listing appears in Search, the more likely an item is seen by potential buyers. Below is a link with advice on how to do that. Anything you can do to get included in Google results as well, can also improve sales and visibility. See link below for Search Engine Optimization discussion.

Be cautious when describing pre-owned items. Point out any flaws and include close-ups of them. The black loafers appear to me as used altho they are defined as "New without box." Have they been worn? Buyers can be sticklers on condition.
In your description field, I would remove all the verbiage below the actual facts of the items. The bolded, large font terms mentioned dwarf the item details which should be the most important thing. Stating things like "contact us with any problems" and "we can't control shipping time" are negative statements that do nothing to sell the product. Most seller terms have a spot of their own on the listing form, so including sales terms in the description is not always necessary. When I come up against such, I quickly move along to another seller, because what these defensive statements are really saying is that they don't trust everything will go smoothly, and instead anticipate problems right off the bat. Finally, as a rule of thumb, avoid mentioning feedback. "Please leave feedback and we will do the same" has an undercurrent of a lack of cooperation; If-I-don't-get-mine, then- you-don't-get-yours does nothing to sell the item.
Ebay is a very brand-centric platform, just the nature of the beast. Unbranded or lesser known brands are harder to sell. Something to keep in mind.
I see you have Best Offer on most items. This is just a personal opinion, not sales building advice, but you might consider removing that option for items under $10. My thinking is that at those price points, margins can already be very thin, and it invites nickel-and-dimers. Nothing wrong with that approach if it works for you, it's just an observation.
Lastly, wanted to share that PayPal has a special account available for sellers who have items in the lower-dollar range. It's called Micro Payments and it might save you a little money in fees. Here's a link to it, if you are interested.

Ok well, those were the main points i had. Hope you find something useful that helps. Wish you only the best in your journey forward. Good luck.
