I have a listing that has better prices than my peers (https://www.ebay.ca/itm/185865120872). However after a pretty strong start, my views and sales have dropped off significantly. This is really frustrating because I offer far better prices than the higher rated sellers and I go through each order and apply discounts manually as needed. I hoped that better pricing would help me grow my rating but this has turned out not to be the case.
eBay created a featured page for the type of cards that I'm selling but I'm not on that page
(https://www.ebay.ca/e/sports-fan-shop/tim-hortons-hockey-cards). This is frustrating for me because it's getting on this page is probably a huge advantage.
I am really struggling to figure out why this is happening. I don't know what I am not doing, what I am doing wrong, or what others are doing right. These are some factors that I feel are not working in my favour.
- My rating is quite low relative to the top sellers. I'm only at 181 where some of the top sellers of these products having ratings over 1000.
- I don't buy sponsored ads. Because this posting is in low dollar cards, I can't take a further hit.
- I don't have a store. I currently don't see the point in paying a fee for a store when I'm not generating enough sales to justify getting a store.
- I'm not on the eBay featured page and I have no idea how to get on there. How do I get on that page? It seems like it is only available to "top-rated sellers".
I'm looking for feedback on how to do better.
