How many sales per month do you feel you should be getting? You are currently getting around 50 per month.
Yes I see you had some problems in the beginning. Those negatives don't look good at all. If it were me, I would have likely opened up a new account for selling as I came up with my new game plan for selling. Those negatives are going to follow you for 12 months. While Ebay doesn't consider them in your evaluation every month, buyers do.
If I were a buyer looking at your listings, I'd be concerned that such a young account has so many negatives and likely would look to purchase somewhere else. I'm not trying to be mean at all. I'm just trying to tell you some reasons why you may not be getting the sales you thought you would.
As to hints that may help your listings.
In your titles, don't repeat a word or words. While it doesn't cause a problem on Ebay, Google search doesn't like them. And we get a lot of traffic onto Ebay from Google searches.
Your titles are probably the most important part of your listing. You need to think like a buyer and put into the title what you think a buyer would put into a search in an effort to find what you are selling. Don't waste this space. It is too important. You have some listings with very short titles. I'd work on improving those with more words that a buyer might put into their search.
Don't be so short on your descriptions. Like for that Rocking Horse Ornament. What are the measurements of the ornament? What are the materials used?
Your TOS [terms of sale] need some attention too. I strongly suggest you get rid of that information about if you receive an order by a certain time that the buyer will receive their order by a certain time. This is going to get you into trouble. You have NO control over a carrier once you ship an item. And if you are using USPS, they have delays way too often. Don't guarantee delivery. That will end up hurting you and there simply is no need to state it.
This statement is likely not something that should be in your listings "We would like to ask that if we were able to meet and/or Torch expectations that you leave us a short comment in the reviews letting us know how we did. Thank you for taking the time to read this and supporting Torched270!
(Psalms 119;105) STAY-LIT,

Religious comments can also backfire on you. Not everyone appreciates them and really you should be neutral on this and not bring it up at all.

They are too old, don't waste your time contacting Ebay. You have to contact them within 60 days if you want them to help you with removing a feedback.
