Hello friends. For those who know, I have a store of Bakugan from the original series. I take 24 photos, give the cheapest price you can find on eBay, free international shipping, use promoted listings, promotions, send more offers with an additional discount to interested buyers and even post on Facebook in relevant groups. I have 100 percent positive feedback, I am including a gift card and even so, I only sell about 3 items a week, why is it selling so slowly?
What am I doing wrong?
I see that items have tens of thousands of views and yet people don't buy.
How can you increase sales?

You’re drop shipping from China that is the problem.
Sellers who drop ship don’t last long on eBay.
What exactly is a random magnetic card? What it the purpose of that card?
You may have 100% positive feedback but it’s from 1 transaction.

Please utilize this forum for your questions, I do not respond to private messages.
Thank you.
To answer your question, you should ship from your location not from China, charge the buyers the shipping costs. This way the buyer pays to ship not you. Yes you buy the shipping label but it comes out of the funds paid by the buyer.
Many buyers including myself, tend to steer away from sellers drop shipping from China. Most items that come from China are of very poor quality. IMO.

The moderators frown upon those who use this forum to advertise their sales, so I would suggest next time to just use the forum for specific questions and discussing issues you may be having.
You're a drop shipper. Many people steer clear from drop shippers as the experience of purchasing from a drop shipper has a lot of down sides & usually wind up with the seller being restricted or suspended due to many issues that come along with drop shipping. Most do not like waiting for something that may arrive weeks if not months from another country.
I would consider another platform for selling because this one is obviously not working for you. Lots of beautiful items from Israel, the holy land, etc. I purchase Olive wood beads from Israel & always get great service along with a beautiful product.
I wish you well. Good luck.

Now item location reads Israel. 🙄

I changed the settings so that they understand that it was sent from Israel and not from China. You helped me a lot, thank you very much.

Most people probably never heard of what it is your trying to sell.
You're dropshipping which is a turn off to a lot of buyers.
You have 1 feedback.

You're also selling them as "new" yet show none of the retail packaging. New means just as a person might find it in a store be it years ago or now.

Israel is currently a country blocked from buying on eBay in the USA...not sure of other countries...due to the war.
eBay has blocked me on eBay for purchases and also from buyers from Israel.

Why are you not selling fast enough?
For the same reason everyone else (including myself) isn't selling fast enough.
Because nobody wants to buy what you are selling right now.

You are lying about the items location.
That is a policy violation and smart buyers will stay away from you.

You sure its not flesh eating UFO's?
I heard it was flesh eating UFO's.
Just sayin' ya know...
It was like just a few weeks back there I was at the kitchen table eating Chicken French. Like, that's not like somebody I know or even like a Chicken born in or that speaks French. It's like how its prepared, I dont know... I think maybe they speak French to it whilst cooking or maybe as they behead it. Either way, there I was eating Chicken French and wham right through or patio door comes a UFO and there goes my Chicken French. I thought myself fortunate as obviously it tasted better than me. My cat was livid!

I think you have been watching too many of the movies you are selling. LOL

You changed the location, but the items are still coming from China. That is item location misrepresentation & it is a policy violation that can get you suspended. Change it back to China before you get caught. Look at @janet9988 's post and see that it still states items are coming from China. Please be careful.
