Dear friends,

Re: Sales

It can take you a little time getting established on Ebay.  According to your account, you have sold 61 items.  That is not a bad start.  You are selling in a heavily saturated category.  Lots of sellers selling the same kind of stuff.

 

Continue to branch out and find other things to sell.  Do some research on the items you are considering and try to find something that there aren't a bunch of them on Ebay.

 

Good Luck.

Re: Sales

Taking a look at your items, you got your specifics and a good description, so it could be the items you are selling.

 

The best way to sell on eBay is to first answer "What do I want to sell and who's my target customers." Also I would adjust your shipping price. Seeing 4.00 shipping and a 1 cent item can put some people off. I would just put how much the item costs + how much you want to make, and then do shipping separately.

 

There's also selling school on eBay that helps sellers, new and experienced with selling on ebay! https://sellerschool.ebay.com

 

Sorry If I sound like the Gordon Ramsey of eBay, but I'd rather be 100% honest on what can be improved

Re: Sales

The number one thing you can do is list more items.  More listing, more sales.  Simple.

I'm not seeing any listings. VIEW Listings shows nothing listed. Zero items for sale.

Are you talking about your account you are posting with or the OP.  What you said is true for yours, but the OP has over a hundred listings posted.

Re: Sales

Adding on to this, make sure you have clear and concise photos, make sure the photos match the item because what the buyer sees is their expectation of the item!

Re: Sales

     One of the problems with Sri Lanka is the protracted shipping times and the fact that a  lot of the items you have posted are drop shipping out of China. Following is an example of the estimated delivery time on one of your items drop shipping out of China.

It's also a question of cost + shipping. A lot of the items you have listed can be obtained from other suppliers or locally for a lot less and acquired more quickly.
