Hello guys, i'm new at ebay and just started selling my items, in the last month I think that I sold about 9 items in one week, so I decided to change my pictures to look better (try to be more professional), and the item description with more details.
Since then I'm struggling to sell, even offering best prices, I have 0 reviews, even that some items are delivered.
Any tips? What I'm doing wrong? I see same items like mines selling 10 / 20 /30 a day with higher price.
Thank you.

Your zero feedback is a stopper. Seller from far away country with zero feedback - as a buyer I'd choose domestic rather especially that your prices are not competitive. Please compare:

searching for Nintendo 64 N64 and clicking on yours at the bottom of page Ebay displays suggestions. This is one of them.
Listen to nuclearomen. Do more research
To get feedback try to buy something more on Ebay. You could be surprised how many everyday items you can buy on Ebay.
Before heading to the store - check Ebay.
Sellers are pretty good with leaving feedback. Buyers ... that is quite different story.

I'm not familiar with the items you are selling, but one thing does pop up; how can you ship an item from Japan for only $15.00 shipping?

try to modify your listing headline, ad rates and make sure your main picture show your item clear and bright, you can even use red circle or arrow to attract buyer's attention

simple, your prices for the listings I clicked on are kinda high for used items, gaming systems especially older ones are not worth much - only to collectors - that have all that stuff already + in US you can get any of that pretty cheap... that's my opinion anyways. Plus on Ebay, views / watchers mean nothing, sales mean everything

The shipping is included on price, but those 15$ plus are for international priority mall.

I'm sorry but that is your opinion, the same game from japan by us seller is 2 or 3 times higher. Thanks by the way.

What you mean about listing headline? I'm sorry I'm newbie here.
Cant use ad rates, lot of restrictions to new sellers.
07-02-2020 11:31 PM
really? better start researching your items, there are plenty of the same on ebay for the consoles much cheaper and from US.

Japanese games from Us cheaper then Japanese games from Japan?
I know about my prices and selling prices, I dont think thats the problem.
Thank you for your point.

i'm telling you do search on ebay for each item you have, and I said systems, not games, there are plenty of the same systems listed (pages actually) pre-owned for much less. You can believe your prices are great but I remember you asking why your not selling and I'm telling you that is one very likely reason. Do you think or believe that you are the only one selling these gaming items? Do you thin your prices on pre-owned equipment are the best? Do you believe buyers in the US will spend the extra to get said item from Japan? Do you believe your items are that much demand? It seems so since your convinced your right...then why ask for help, you have it all figured out.
Have a good night - best of luck to you.

ok, thanks.

You should check your listings. I don't believe you can list your items as "free shipping" and charge an extra $15 for international.

So i don't mean to offend you, but i am a firm believer that...
If your stuff isn't selling that means ... nobody wants to buy your stuff at that price.
No other reason. No other excuse.
Lower you price or sell different stuff.
BTW nice pics!

There is no offense my friend, I understand you.
If was me, ill be stopped by no feedbacks too, but i'm struggling to get one lol, last week I delivered an item in 2 days from japan on priority mall to be sure that everthing was ok and I can get my feedback but was not enought haha, even asking twice to the costumer.
The problem is if I lower my prices with no feedback ill be less trustable, so i'm stocked in this part. I made 3 sells on this wknd, hopefully they can give me a feedback, because that was almost 0 profit to start being trustable.
I fell everybody has the same problem in beginning so ill trying to do my best and get some feedbacks.
thank you for the advices.
