Sale

Sale is very down please update me why down sale 

[mr_lincoln]

Hi @unclevintagehouse ,

It is possible your items are not high in demand right now or (since) in September when you had your last sale (as of this writing).  Also, I would think shipping from India could be costly.

Regards,

Mr. L

I looked at several of your listings and you have a page full of rules and restrictions but no description of the item you are selling. You have listings for parts but no part numbers. You have photos of parts but no measurements in either inches or metric. It would be a gamble for someone to buy a part from your listing and hope that it fits when it arrives.

Go back through your listings and take out that pile of rules and restrictions that cannot be enforced anyway. Add an actual DESCRIPTION of each part you are selling. People search by part number so make sure you know how to describe each item so that someone searching for it will find it.

The English is terrible in your listings.

"We usually do our best to serve you more then your expedition."

Your parts need a part number. 

We also need to know what models they fit

(Example: Fits Vespa models AR211, AR212, AR213.)

I'm looking at a Vespa rear brake light.

It says NOTHING about the light. How's the condition? Any scratches? Any cracks?  Does it come with a gasket?  Does it come with a wiring harness?

Your items might not be in high demand or maybe it’s just eBay. I also noticed you do not have consistent positive feedback which may be impacting the less of your sales.

@eye_of_the_tiger  How did you you see it?  I just get the endless circle when I try to look at any feedback, on the eBay site or community.  It times out and I get a sad face error message.

I just press “view listings” then it takes me to the app and you can see the seller and all of his items. I press on the seller button and scroll down to where it says “recent feedback ratings.” You press on that and it shows all the feedback the seller got. 

[evry1nositswindy]

@eye_of_the_tiger  Of course I know how, it just isn't working.   It times out.

Click on "View listings", then click on " Items for sale from unclevintagehouse" , then click on "See all feedback".

Everyone's sales are down.   You are not alone friend.  Don't fret over this because later today your sales will be soaring.  You are a member of the ebay family and if you list on ebay you are already a winner.   Ebay always takes care of it own especially the ones at the top.

You have red tail light reflectors for $15. They can be found at any local Retail Auto Parts for $6. Plus, no USA buyer will knowingly purchase these from another country and shipping either takes too long or never gets here due to Covid and other things.

@evry1nositswindy 

What do you mean “it times out”? 

[fashunu4eeuh]

You are breaking some eBay rules.

You cannot forbid buyers from leaving negative feedback. You cannot say that. Remove all information regarding feedback from your listings. You are violating the Feedback Manipulation policy that states feedback cannot be referenced in a title or description.

You generally cannot withhold any funds from refunds. That is considered a restocking fee and eBay banned those a couple of years ago.

You need someone to proofread your English, for spelling, usage, and grammar. In the US, we call fuel ‘gasoline’ not ‘petrol,’ for example. Americans do not use the word petrol as a search term.

I agree with other posters that your descriptions are absent any pertinent information about the item you are selling. Please drop all the impossible rhetoric and terms of sale, and replace it with a real description. It is not enough to simply repeat your title, and in some cases you don’t even have that. Examine listings of other parts sellers for ideas on how to better present your items.

Your pictures seem fine, so that is good.

You are competing with domestic sellers who can beat your shipping times. That may a problem for you moving forward.

Good luck with your listings. I hope you will accept the help being offered to you today.

Shipping from India to here is cheap like China shipping costs. The other day I went to their PO site and got a price on an item with tracked shipping and it was 810 inr/rupees. The seller charged $39 shipping. The day I looked it up 810 rupees was less than $10. Today it's close to $11. 

That a great business plan. Pay the equivalent of $10 and charge $40. I looked it up on a popular private carrier there and the price was like $28. If they shipped by that carrier they were adding $10 handling for a lightweight plastic toy!  a

I doubt they used them because they ship fast like 3-4 days. Good grief,, buyers need to get educated  on shipping.

The OP doesn't appear to be gouging on shipping at all. Their total  price is  good. Lower than most.. 

I think sales are slow because when someone needs a scooter part they want it fast and will pay more to get it fast.  A delivery date a long way off doesn't cut it.   

Or it could be their negative feedback. Looks okay until you click on the second page. There's a lot of negative feedback on that page. That could be the reason sales are down.

Hi, i was looking over your listings again and noticed some of your pictures are watermarked. That violates eBay’s Picture policy. 

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-policies/picture-policy?id=4370

The following are not allowed:

• Photos that don't accurately represent the item
• Placeholder images used to convey messages
• Stock photos for used, damaged, or defective items
• Photos with added borders
• Photos with added text, artwork or marketing material
• Watermarks of any type, including those used for ownership attribution

It is very important to learn the policies that govern the site. Ebay can drop your listings in Search order, or impose a variety of other restrictions that can affect a seller’s bottom line, when rules get broken.
