Not getting any views

I just started to try and sell on ebay and set up an account today. When I set up I added 3 listings.  I havent had any views on any of my items and when I look up my items I cant find them in the search. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what could be the problem.  Any advice would help since support is down.  Thanks in advance

Re: Not getting any views

I'm a long-time seller, and I'm in the same boat! Low Sales, which I expected due to the virus.

New listings can take up to 24 hours before they become searchable.

Have a great day.

Re: Not getting any views

Those shoes you're trying to list, as a new seller, you'll get a lot of scam offers, so be prepared.

You would be better to list them at a fixed price with immediate payment required and stay away from auctions and best offers..

If you have any questions, there's a lot of good members here willing to help out.

Have a great day.

Re: Not getting any views

Give it some time and you'll start to see some activity. As the other poster said, it can take a day for a new listing to get indexed and become searchable.

 

As a new seller, have you studied any of the policies here on eBay? Especially need to be aware of the pitfalls to online selling if you are trying to sell expensive items right off the bat. When helping loved ones learn the eBay ropes, I always advise them to wait to list high dollar goods until they have some experience selling (and buying) here. And have some awareness of scam activity that can part a seller and his item.

 

Ebay has the buyer's interests at heart, not the sellers. So sellers must look after their own interests and not expect eBay to do it for them. Below are some links that might be beneficial. Wish you many smooth sales ahead!

Re: Not getting any views

People are not in the hunt for high priced sneakers at the moment.  And to reiterate what other posters have said, you are a very attractive magnet to scammers with such little experience and no feedback.  Remove those shoes now before it is too late!  Be thankful you have no watchers.  And ask advice from other shoe collectors as to where they might sell such items.
