I see 15 listings.  The fondue set you have for $8 buy it now with $2.00 shipping is going to put you into the minus column if someone buys it.    Ebay is all about what you are selling.   Most of your listings I can find at the flea market new for a buck or two.    It is all trial and error.   Lots of us have stuck it out since ebays birth and we are still learning and tweeking listings.    Personally I have moved on to flea market selling.  It is a true final sale.   Good Luck.  THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

I looked again and see 16 but seriously you better take another look at your shipping costs. You are going to LOSE money if a buyer purchases your item. $1.00 on a cell phone case. $3.00 on a purse. Do you have any idea what shipping with tracking costs? I would revise some of your listings.

Ok that gives me some perspective that I may have ignored. I thought Ebay was more about convenience and willing to pay more ... looks like those guys maybe have gone and went ... too late in the game perhaps

It is exactly opposite of what you thought. Ebay buyers will NOT pay more. They will usually only be willing to pay HALF of the cost they can get it anywhere else, unless the item is rare and very desirable.

This can be very true.  Many equate Ebay as the place to get the best price on anything.

I used to be a very impatient person ,, then I became a e bay seller . If you didn't have much  patience before you'll soon aquire plenty of it ,, because that's what it takes . I've gone two and even three weeks without a sale  with four  or five  times the inventory you now have . So here's some good advice ,, use this off time to work on increasing  your inventory , the more good stuff you have listed  the more buyers you will attract . Also please realize we just left the holiday season  where most people spent a lot of money and are now letting their credit and debit cards cool off . There's no doubt sales will soon pick up again as soon as people recover from the expensive holiday season. Good luck to you ,, it will be okay . Tulips
