SELLING

To put things in perspective, there are 1.5 Billion items listed by 17 million sellers on eBay.  You only have 17 items listed and you are selling in the clothing category which is oversaturated on eBay and any of the other online selling venues.  Your clothing items are gothic or punk which would only appeal to a certain segment of the population.  If you put "gothic pants" into eBay's search box, it brings up more than 39,000 listings so your listings are going to be lost in the shuffle right off the bat.

 

Also, I see you are in Pakistan, which might deter some people in the United States from ordering as they can buy similar items here in the U.S. and receive them in a few days.

 

 

Your problem is the same as for any other seller, to hope people find your listings.  Just keep listing, make sure your prices are competitive, and be patient.

You get your 1st sale by listing items people want.

 

I cant imagine anyone in the US buying those items at the cost from a drop shipper in Pakistan.

It will be a huge uphill battle for you.

 

I know no one who wears those items.

You costs are high.

You are drop shipping.

You have 0 FB.

 

Please turn off the CAPS lock.

@abdulmananalimalik 

I would consider lowering your prices.  I'm seeing the same items from Pakistani sellers for much, much less.  If you are drop shipping especially from Amazon, you are not going to last long here on this platform.  Big policy violation. Sell things that are unique and things that you have in your possession.  Inexperienced sellers who drop ship can and will have issues.  We see it here all the time.  

 

Good luck

To be brutally honest, that style stuff (with all the associated keywords added) are not something that anyone I know has ever worn, except if only for Halloween, maybe back in the 1990's. It might have been in movies or something but it's not something American kids or adults are going to buy. I can't see anybody actually wearing it. But I guess you never know, right? It might come back in.

 

An odd "retro" category to be sure, it's going to be a HARD sell. Good luck though~

Goth style used to be very popular in the UK.

 

But now, other than a few diehards, you never see it anymore. A bit like flared trousers.
