What are some techniques on how to sell your items quickly?

I'm new to eBay and I've had some decent profits from my first month, but recently I haven't been moving anything for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have suggestions on how to move items more quickly? Thanks.

What works for me best is listing consistently - that means nearly every day.  If I stop listing, sales start trickling away. You have to keep feeding the beast.

I presume you are drop shipping...........have you researched your prices?  I see a number of those aqua roller skates cheaper than what you are showing?

  • Get more feedback. Buyers are more trusting of higher feedback sellers (to a point).
  • Don't dropship. Have items in-hand and use your own pictures.
  • Pre-orders must be available within thirty days of your listing date. I see one violation ( Watermelon Sugar).
  • Have an actual description.
  • Know your shipping methods and fees. Are you going to actually make any money after fees on those $30 ten pound "free" Priority shipping weights?

 

Savvy, experienced buyers know what to look for and will shop from sellers who know what they are doing.

Comparatively, some of your prices are high. The puzzle is half that from other ebay sellers, the skates...

 

Also, your pre-orders don't have a available date and some are longer than 30 days.

 

"This is a pre-order and ships within 4-6 weeks. Ships with USPS Priority Mail."

"This is a preorder! Ships out in October."

 

"Presale listings must guarantee that the item will be shipped within 30 days of purchase

The date the item will be available to ship must be clearly stated in the listing"

Listing things for closer to what others are asking, for example, I'm seeing the Frozen puzzle for less than half what you're asking.

 

Also listing things like your roller skates that you don't actually have in hand yet is never a good idea.
