Pricing and Reduction of Price

[missdaisysworld]

I am brand new to eBay. I have a variety of items to sell.  My first four items are designer eyeglasses and sunglasses. They are immaculate. Two are Ray-Bans that were never worn and have the original gift box, soft leather cover with logo, Ray-Ban cleaning cloth and Ray-Ban booklet.  Same accessories with beautiful Prada and Michael Kors glasses. Very nice. I notice that most of the other sellers do not have accessories. Should I charge a percentage over their sales to be competitive.  Do buyers care about these accessories, in your opinion? My listings have been on four days with no action.

thank you for the advice. I took the statement about change of address off my listings.  It is very kind of you to impart your knowledge based on experience. I truly appreciate you!

Good photos are always helpful, but to avoid looking "too" professional , add something in the picture that is more personal.

Perhaps using both a white background, which apparently Google likes, and a pale pastel one made from a coloured sheet or bit of cloth. Or a small placecard with your shop name on it.

The critiques of your photos did come across as a backhanded sort of compliment, didn't it?

In addition to selling some cheap stuff to up your feedback , buy some cheap stuff that you need anyway to up the feedback. With Christmas coming, there are probably a few stocking stuffers needed or purchases for the Secret Santa pool at work.

They were all my photos.  I do not use stock.  When you have taken pictures most of your adult life, you do not need to steal.

@missdaisysworld  Yes, I figured they were your own photos - I can tell the difference between stock photos and someone who takes good photos. ETA: For instance showing everything that is offered, and also some of the drop shadows.  I wouldn't worry about them being "too good" - I'm not sure, really, most people worry about that - they just want to see everything and you show everything nice and clearly.
