Have you searched to see how much competition you have, and what their prices are?  I couldn't speak on the drones, but I know cell phone accessories are about as saturated a category as there could be.

I don't think you need a store for 34 items, you can list for free. If your items are not selling, try to find out why.

I hate to say this but your listings are getting lost in the crowd because they are so similar to your competition: 

 

1 - Stock photos that are identical to those of others selling what appear to be simply drop-shipped stuff from China

2 - Using AI descriptions that sound brain-dead and not written by you so it is hard to believe that the details are all correct

3 - Competing listings from other sellers that again look the same as yours and with similar pricing. You should log out of your selling account and then look at your listings as others see them. You will find multiple listings from others that Ebay plants in the middle of yours and look just the same because they are using the same stock images.

 

I would suggest that you cut back on drop-shipped junk from China and focus on making your own listings for your own items. Take your own photos and write your own descriptions and then no one will confuse your listings with someone else. Good luck.

Looks like you're dropshipping from Aliexpress, which is not allowed.

Why would they buy from you, when they can go there and get them cheaper?

Have a great day.

As others have noted, your listings are just getting lost in a crowd of similar items; you're just not competitive. Also, you have no history of selling this type of items.  And finally: you have only two feedback as a seller, and one of them is for selling a sign that says "Sorry we're stoned."

Stock photos.  Canned descriptions.  Multiples.  Makes you look like a dropshipper, and buyers are tired of being burned buying dropshipped rubbish from China.

I agree.  I paid for a store for 200 items but I've got 34 and it says I've reached my selling limit.  But then just above that it says you 150 remaining items. I hate that you can't call or chat with ebay.  I'm paying for absolutely  nothing.

There is a ($) dollar limit on your account as well as an item amount. You can view these figures on the selling tab.

The problem with Dropshipping is that someone will always do it for cheaper. Always.

The number of free insertions that a seller gets is based on what type of Store subscription they have (or not).

 

The member's listing limits are set by eBay and are based primarily on the member's selling history. You can see yours here:

You ended many of your items.......so I only viewed signs mostly.......

 

Need to review your descriptions.....made with AI, I presume.......... referring to "Garage" as a brand name makes you look stupid (my opinion)......

 

Made of durable aluminum, it features the brand name Garage

 

need size of sign in IS and in title. 

 

You need to actually "think" about what a buyer would want to know when buying something.....and provide the info........

 

Need to crop pictures so only the item shows........and if the item is in original box, need to highlight that point in title and description...because having the box is important to collectors. 

 

just thoughts

The biggest problem with looking like and using a dropshipper is that buyers know not to expect your being able to fill orders some of the time. Many sellers who use dropshippers are unaware of out of stock conditions.
