Hello All,
I have reopened my eBay store once again, and I am looking for some tips to get the ball rolling. I have been reopened for about a month and haven't seen much movement. If any of you lovely people have some tips for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

With only 64 listings, I'm not sure if a Store is economically sensible.
You can have 50 Free Listings every month without one and each listing thereafter costs 30 cents.
Without a Store, your current 64 listings would cost you $4.20 monthly. The Store is about $25.
But of course, you may be planning to list dozens or even hundreds more unique items.
I don't know how long you have been away from selling here, but Auctions are pretty well dead.
Over 85% of transactions are now Fixed Price.
This is attractive to the current customer base which prefers to buy and pay immediately rather than wait seven days to find out they lost anyway.
It is also attractive to phone shoppers who are over half of today's customers.
Use the Item Specifics as well as your own specifications.
The eBay ones are picked up by Search and given more weight than information in your Description.
Look at your listings on a smartphone. You will be shocked at what your customer does and more importantly does NOT see.
The first four words of your title are the most important. You might want to move NEW further along in the title. Grammar is unimportant here.
