Hello sir
I am a new seller on Ebay, about 40 days ago
I have not sold yet, although it appeared to buyers more than 20 times !!!
1. What is the reason for not selling.?
2. Should I get a fedback first?
thank you for your cooperation.

Many buyers are uneasy buying from a seller with 0 feedback.

 

You are selling from Spain.  Many buyers won't buy internationally.  It is usually more expensive and takes longer, and may be lost or damaged in transit.

 

I checked the listing for the picture and it has no measurement.  Buyers often hit the back button if there isn't enough information in the listing.  Measurements in inches help as well.

Also I think your titles could use some work.

 

Check through sold listings for similar items to see how they were titled and to compare prices.  You won't be seen if you don't have proper titles.

hi, as you are aiming toward USA buyers it is good you speak (write) good English.
20 days is not much time starting out  just a few things. I have often told new seller "you need a minimum of 100 items" just to get noticed. Even then expect small sales, at least until you have 100+ feedback. Of course some sellers price their items at give-away prices and build their feedback that way but I would not recommend that, it is labor intensive AND discouraging. 

On your item "Beautiful glass vase with clothes of roses" I commend you on the photos, very nice, however there should be a photo which shows entire vase as all photos are cropped too close. You might want to show the bottom also. Since you have it set at "Free Shipping" re-check the size and weight of item once it's all boxed up, an estimate is not good enough. Also, very important, be sure it is the brand you've indicated.

Not to sound harsh, but you should be happy that you haven't sold anything.  From what I can see, your problem is not so much selling, but mathematics ....

 

For example, how in the world can you sell a vase for $17 with free shipping from Spain to the United States and make any money?   It would make more business sense to break it into small pieces and throw it in the garbage.

 

I would suggest that you figure out what it costs to sell and ship on eBay, and then properly list your products ... cheap things are really not worth attempting to sell internationally.

hi, all the best to you on your selling!
You will get the hang of it, but there is a lot of information to learn.
Be sure to read ALL of the eBay rules.


Such as the "kids doll Games Lovely Baby gift" should not be listed as a toy for babies. We have strict regulations on not only baby toys but also child's toys. The regulations have to do with choking hazard as well at toxicity, etc..
Perhaps you can change it to a collectible category.

Absolutely research and be sure of your shipping costs.  Otherwise you could wind up loosing money, and you can't just cancel a sale because you didn't get what you should have.

 

Try listing some items every day as that seems to boost visibility.

 

Use titles that will have words that buyers will search under to find your items.
