Hello colleagues!

I'm experiencing low visit rate on my listings. While I have 150+ watchers on it and some sales.

I see my listings is showing at last page but my friend can see it at 1st or 2nd page.

Please can you tell on which page of Best Match results can you see my listings (all that listings you can see in my profile here, it is USA only):

1) search for: Nike PG1 (my listing title is Brand NEW Nike PG 1 Paul George - Men's Basketball Athletic Sneakers Shoes Sale)

2) search for: Nike Air Max 90 Essential (mine is-Brand NEW- Nike Air Max 90 Essential -Men's Athletic Sneakers Casual Shoes Sale)

3) search for: Nike Air Presto Essential (mine is Brand NEW- Nike Air Presto Essential -Mens Athletic Sneakers Training Shoes Sale)

4) search for: Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 (mine is Brand NEW- Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 -Mens Athletic Sneakers Basketball Shoes)

I'm not going to search but that minus sign is a search parameter that excludes results. I wonder if that's causing you problems? We were always told never to use non-alphanumeric characters in the title.

Each person sees a different result in "best match" --- in fact, by someone searching for your listings now it will alter their results in the future

If your items are not selling it is because your "price point" is too high --- no one I know ever "overpaid" just because it was higher in a search --- we sort by lowest price (including shipping)

If you can't match the "price point" on an IDENTICAL item then it is doubtful it will sell

FYI: a "price point" includes everything --- item cost, shipping cost, and return cost ...

Thank you for the reply!

I have around the lowest price of items above. Also, I just noticed that I get usually a lot more visits at first few hours of submitting new listing to ebay and I almost always have a sale when I just listed the item.

I can't understand it at all. May be please do you guys have any throughts about the issue?

Most bidders don't use Best Match. It is an abomination. Many use Newly Listed to search which would explain why your new listings get more sales. Especially in a bloated category if yours is.

Selling new items is not easy --- there are over 6300 "max 90 essential" up now --- that is a lot of competition --- but they do appear to have a very good STR

One issue I see with your listings is you do not have the sizes/colors available --- if I was in the market I would go to a seller who had what I wanted NOW --- too many other sellers to bother "asking" ...
