What about this listing makes you NOT want to purchase this item?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/133133386471

All answers will be greatly appreciated

i would like to thank everyone for all the useful tips and a lot of them i used in my listing.

However there is one opinion i see that many of you have that dropshipped items have no chance, and this i disagree with.

First, granted you can get them from china for a fraction of the cost, however i believe that many people will rather pay some more to get it in a week or less rather than a month.

second, see whats selling, search "wireless earbuds" you will see these people selling them by the thousands.

now, granted they are on the first page and their veteran sellers giving them a huge advantage, but its still unbranded.......

Listing is way too long. No one's going to scroll down to the entire listing. Condense it.

It won't stop me from buying I guess. But I already have something similar so I still won't buy it.

To long, didn’t read. They are a $1 at the dollar store.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

I avoid drop shippers.

Product description is written in VERY poor English. That tips people off that this unbranded ear bud set was purchased from Chinese wholesalers and may be of poor quality. That's just my 2 cents. Not saying it is poor quality. It's only 5 bucks, so if you needed some for a kid, it might be a good deal. I'm also guessing you may be competing with the Chinese sellers who might be offering this same item cheaper. I would eliminate all the stock description photos you have and just describe it in my own words.

Not something I have a need for, but after the first 2-3 paragraphs and pictures, I definitely would hit the back arrow.

Generic. Unknown quality. Stock images from manufacturer.

It's bordered by a boatload of "sponsored" listings for the same cheap earbuds at similar prices.
They're unbranded and obviously inexpensive Chinese novelty products, much like dozens of other listings, so even with your best efforts, you will be lost in the crowd.

But mainly: I'm looking at that listing on a Windows 10 machine with Google Chrome, and all I'm seeing in the description area is a big black square of nothing. I'm not sure what's supposed to go in there as a description, but if something is supposed to be putting in text or artwork from somewhere else, it's not working:

Your competition

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Headphone-Bluetooth-Stereo-Earphone-Headset-Wireless-Magnetic-In-Ear-Earbud...

$1.89 with .39 cents shipping. Quantity discounts available. Looks to be the same item you are selling for $5

1) it uses stock photos

2) it contains bad grammar

3) they are unbranded

4) the model looks like Justin Bieber

There is nothing wrong with this listing that would stop me purchasing it. But the listing is not the problem with low sales--it is the item.

When I input your first three title keywords in Search, up came 146,321 listings. You are competing with thousands of sellers advertising similar items. I recall looking at your listings when you posted in July regarding your placement in Search for this item. I see you are using eBay's best practices to get a boost in Search results. That's good, but best practices apparently can't compensate for the problem of selling unbranded merchandise on eBay with tens of thousands of similar listings. Your item is lost, with nothing to bring customers to your listing. Ebay is a brand-centric venue and that is working against you.

Yea...when the seller doesn't even know or mention the manufacturer in his listing...that's a huge red flag.

But for my opinion...I simply don't want them. I only listen to music on high quality headphones.

You have the ability to have 12 pics on the listing. Instead of having that long, long listing description, utilize your 12 pics you can use. That alone would shorten your listing a great deal and the information you want in the listing is still there.

Correct the errors in the description. I didn't read it all, but the very first sentence is improper English, so I suspect there are more errors.

Description:
We've do our best...

We've = We have. So that description starts off saying We Have Do our best. It should be We've DONE our best.

I don't know if there are more errors in the description, I confess I did not read it all.

Good Luck.
