Why can't I sell my items

[jerrroger-8]

I am having a very hard time selling my items on eBay. Should I try another selling place?

Never have all of your eggs in one basket.

You're selling dated electronics, think you will have a hard time wherever you go.

Fix your titles

Titles should only be what the Item is, exactly.  Lose all fluff and stuff like "this is a great camcorder".

[Brand] [Model] [Item] [Descriptor]

Use keywords that your buyers will actually search for. [Handheld] [Digital] [Compact]

Condition ... be very specific. Dings, scratches, any little thing

Fill in all of the Item Specifics that eBay asks for. Don't delete any.

Describe the Item.  You don't have to write a book, but describe it as if somebody was asking you questions about it .... functions, battery type, charger? Accessories? Functions? Weight? .... And reiterate the condition, exactly.

Don't write one big hard-to-read paragraph. One sentence, line break, next sentence

Finally ... your pictures need a lot of work. Take pictures on a plain white background. A white sheet or piece of plasterboard will do, you don't need an expensive set up.  Turn off your flash ... Use daylight bulbs in your light fixtures.

All I see on that camcorder listing is a big blur of gold whatever that is 😞

A couple of things..........  need to use spell check for titles and descriptions.....  misspelled key words can prevent people from finding something......

Beyond that, need to be careful......1991Stein...... is also going to cause a problem in search.  That item also needs better pictures...... there is never one of the stein alone......need to have pictures of all sides, and of the box as people do collect and want the boxes in, at least fairly good shape...... 

Pictures need to be clear, free of clutter and lots of them.......  I can barely see that White Sewing machine, does it have a foot control?  I want to see all the sides and the bottom with the model number, if it has one......

You seem to be running mainly auctions and some stuff just isn't going to sell there.......going to take time, so fixed price and patience may be needed.....

just some suggestions.....

My guess would be because they may be overpriced, poorly described, and not particularly desirable. 

For example:

Your Pentax camera (buy it now price $100) can be bought for $25 with a lens.

It appear to be an Autofocus 35mm SLR camera, but you don't bother to mention any of those terms in your title. It also has a lens but you do not even bother to give the model number of the lens. 

A quick search of SOLD items shows the eBay market for this item is about $15.

Your titles need major work. This one for example I have put in red the words that do not need to be in title. No one looking for a sewing machine is going to type in those words to find it.

brother vx-1100 sewing machine very good condition everything works great

Your pics need work. Have a nice designated spot to take pics. Some pics are on the camo background, some are on your kitchen table.

You need to take pics of the actual item you have for sale (Sony Playstation) you are using a stock photo of a new one but yours is used.

And this is a very, very minor point:  I buy a lot of used sewing machines on line.  I like to see a piece of fabric under the presser foot with some stitches shown on that machine, especially if it has embroidery stitches.

Just an idea.

@jerrroger-8   I agree with many others who have posted here.  First change ALL your titles so they only say what the item is.  All that other stuff like "works great", etc should be in Conditions and Description.

For the Auction item DO NOT start an auction at 99 cents, PERIOD, never do that.  Start the Auction at a price that if 1 bids wins it you make money ...

You also need more things to sell in other categories ... the market for the old electronics you have is very narrow, that means they will be slow sellers.

it is hard to start selling with low feedback numbers and then you throw that negative for being a seller on the front page and it will make it harder yet. yes, I know it is over a year old but it shows on the front page. 1 neg out of only a few sales isn't good.

So my main thing I would do is build up feedback and I would do this by buying things and paying fast for them and leaving good feedback for them.  You need to get that negative feedback pushed to at least the second page.

Apart from what has already been mentioned above, you should be using buy it now (BIN) rather than auctions.  You need to look at what your items have sold for on Ebay and price competitively.  If you can't find a comp price then maybe price a bit high to similar items and take best offers.  Auctions should be used for collectibles where pricing is a far bigger mystery.

And yea, find a white background for your pics.

[jerrroger-8]

I have did just that. But my prices are very low.still nothing. But we'll see

[jerrroger-8]

Thank you

Your Swiss watch for parts...is it a knockoff or an actual Gucci??

All you pictures need to be better. Add more information in description. Don't write things in description like "look it up"...that sounds very off-putting.

Get rid of the camo background
