Seller's problem.

I am a new for hear. How long does it take to successfully sell something on eBay..!

Depends on what you are selling, if your pricing is good, if your listing is good, etc.  Many factors come into play.

I don't see that you have any listings posted, so I can't comment on if I see things you might improve on.  

Keep in mind one of the most important things about a listing is the title.  Don't waste space.  Think like a buyer when you write them.  Put the most important keywords at the beginning and more later in the title.  What words would you use if you were searching for the product?

That's variable.  But you'd probably need to list something first in order to sell it.

Is this the question of the day from Sri Lanka?

Yes.  Listings aid in the sale of things.  Might need to sign up to sell also?  (Is this a Seller School question?)

Depends on the product.  

If you are selling common things everyone else is selling, it could take a while.

You need to list and than sell and than success will come.

@rathnayaka23... 180 days is pretty safe estimate for a successful  sale. (Following a purchase, of course.)

@kensgiftshop 

I know I've answered it once for another Sri Lankan poster this morning. I'm outtie.

List stuff for sale, list more stuff for sale, and continue to list more stuff for sale.  That simple.

It can happen shortly or it can take a long time, especially if you don't know what you're doing and are unfamiliar with internet sales.  Better try here first:

Good luck should you choose to enroll.

Surely you must realize the right person must be looking for that exact item at the time you list it. I’ve listed and sold items within an hour and others that took upwards of a year. There is a lot of truth in”tight item at the right time at the right price “. There is a certain amount of luck involved as well. And patience.

  My all time favorite title. “Good book”. LOL ! It finally went away after almost two years. Would have paid good money to know if it actually sold. The best advice, offered up by many sellers over the years, is what words would you use to look for the book? Makes sense, right? Every book I’ve ever purchased online had the perfect listing title.
