My sales have been pathetic since February. Finally got the motivation to start listing some new items. Again, I ask myself: why bother? Don't even seem to be getting any views. What is going on with this site?

You have some very nice items, but you're selling in a hugely competitive and over-saturated sector. I've found PLUS size clothing moves a little better, but even so, interest/demand for those seems to have tapered off as well.
But, to get people to look closer at what you do have to offer, any chance instead of shooting your pix indoors with a flash, you could shoot them in natural light, perhaps outdoors on a porch where there'd be indirect light? Against a plain white background would be best which can easily be accomplished just by using a nicely ironed bedsheet as a backdrop. Your items would "show better" if you did.
Also, might you be able to invest in an inexpensive mannequin or dress form? One of those would be really helpful in displaying your clothing especially the bathing suits. Not sure there's a lot of demand for/interest in pre-worn swimsuits, but it probably isn't helping either to show them lying on a kitchen floor. For many, that's an automatic reason to look no further and move on.

Viewers are down for me as well, I presume from overall traffic being down.
I sell predominately children's clothes and I use child size half mannis for them, however, I also have some women's items and I am planning to buy a manni for them. I this will really help display the clothing in an appealing manner.

Seconding the suggestion of using a plain white bedsheet as a backdrop; stuff tends to "pop" more on a simple white background and it makes colors look more true. Your titles look good for the most part, although personally I would move the "NWT" to the end of the title as it's less important than the brand name, clothing type and size. Clothing is just a very saturated category, so you want to do everything that you can to make your listings stand out among the crowd.
