Why doesn’t my item sell anymore? It’s the same thing and price as people used to pay for it and it still gets views, but nobody buys it. I used to sell multiple a day about a month ago.
I see people selling the exact same item for $10-$15 more than what my listing is ($55-$60) and their listings have a “1,000 sold” banner, so how are they succeeding when I am not?

There are 20 sellers with the same item (new) beating your price, and there are 40 sellers with the same item (new) within $5 of your price.
There are also 25 sellers with the same item (new) within $5 of your price with free shipping, so any buyer who searches for free shipping will not see your item.
Your description forces me to use a scroll bar nested within a page that also needs to be scrolled.

My Husband & I Have Noticed The Same....It's Been 90 Days & NOTHING Of Ours Has Sold! Too Many Watchers & No Buyers...My Husband Also Noticed Since Ebay Separated From Paypal & No Longer Charges Monthly Fees There's A Spot Titled "Promote Your Listing" Why Would Anyone Want To Promote Their Listings?

Oh Yea We Also Noticed That When Filtering An Item & Click On Sold To See How Much It Sold For.....There Are Listings That Has Sellers With NO FEEDBACKS Who Sold A Same Exact Item That We Have For 10 TIMES MORE THEN US...That Does NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!

Check your overall sales conversion rate and for the product in question and compare it to Terapeak.
Sometimes you have to give a little to get the conversion rate on an upward swing...
I won't pretend I know the answers as I've been in a slump lately, but if I could point to one value that appears to trump all others, it's the sales conversion rate. Of course, having "good" products and prices are a necessity.

Now I see, this is an old thread.

Here's some rocket science, raise your prices. eBay gets more money, you get more money, eBay shows your listings because they get more money.
I have an item that doesn't sell very often. I raised the price $1 this morning. 3 sold today.
Yes, I know it's an older thread, but it's on the front page.
