Sells and traffic

[getzappy]

Almost no sells, traffic is like nothing while I think I list my items above average and have ok pics. It's like I'm shut off. Definitely starting at a new location or 2 today or tomorrow. It sucks I like eBay alot!

You're not "shut off" people just aren't in the market for what you have for sale right now.  
Good luck wherever you end up.

You say it a lot nicer than I do.    😉

I have a bit of everything, I do the social media crap, research my listings, ship quickly (out of country a bunch) and nothing is happening. Buy the end of the week I will start on 2 other platforms and then I will have my comparison. I dropped the other 2 a few years ago because of lack of time, now I have time. I'm want to deal with eBay but it seems like they don't like me. Sometimes up and moving works out for the best!

It is a saturation issue for knick knacks, collectables and a lot stuff you sell. 

Crosslisting is the way to go. Good way to pick up more sales.  Best of luck.

It has nothing  to do with ebay not liking you or turning off your switch,

it means nobody is buying what you are selling right now.

Of course the more platforms you're selling on the more sales you should have.

I wish you luck.

That's funny you should say that. I made a comment on an earlier post, someone implied I wasn't being gentle. Lol.

You're in an utterly super-saturated category - I think it's almost worse than clothing which is also ridiculously saturated, but at least one can wear it.

But spread the wealth - I think that's important and I've had good luck with it. Your items look great.

I have lots of experience selling low demand products which have low traffic.

You need many more items if you want to see a significant increase in sales, and patience because some of your items are limited to seasonal appeal.

You have some great items, pictures are nice & bright, But your in the same boat as i am, an overly saturated collectibles market, which makes it much harder to get customers in front of your items, & we are currently in a very risky economy people are being very careful how they spend & that may get even worse, trying other venues may help, I wish you all the best!

I looked at a few of your items...Other sellers under your items have items for sale do 'free shipping'.

Need to look at your competitors.

And you got to get a base of 'repeat buyers'.

25+% of my buyers are 'repeats buyers'...

Have you watched the news?

You know ... it's a BIG world out there.

Bigger than your nik-nak store.  Bigger even than ... *gasp* ... Ebay.

We've got two major shooting wars right now.

One about to start with China.

A drug war with Canada and Mexico.

The stock market has crashed, and it will continue to.

In a couple of months, you may long for another day like today.

You are not alone.  No matter what I post for sale, everything lingers.  I post items that cannot be bought at a local store, yet I see so much that sells where people can just run out & buy it at hardware stores, dept. stores, etc.  I'm not just talking about eBay.  Even Marketplace is really inconsistent.  I went 16 days where I had 14 days of sales.  The following week, I had just 1 sale.  The next week after - only 3.  I've sold nothing since Sat.  So many empty promises, lies or lame excuses.  Best of luck!   🙂

They have pretty unique items that most likely competitors do not have, Easier to get repeat customers when you basically sell one type of items like your stamps, Free shipping only ads to the cost of the items.

Yes we do have a huge mess on our hands, Not good at all!, Not exactly what i would call fixing the economy!
