Zero Views

[d-sneeaunt69]

Hi I'm having trouble getting viewers.   Almost all my items have less then 10 viewer. There anything that people can recommend to fix the problem

Thank you

Ebay usually suggests lowering your price, offering free shipping, offering free returns, and sell as an auction starting at 99 cents. Your views should pick right up.

That may work but the demand for single piece China has dropped dramatically. Most likely just a single bidder at a low start price, or zero bidders at the prices the OP is currently asking. $20 for puzzles will most likely not work either.

I agree.  People used to buy individual sets to put in a curio cabinet.  Not so much anymore.

Also $20 for a puzzle is more than I just paid for one in  a B&M store and it was also a Kodacolor brand.

Your titles are useless.  China plate could be

Maker Mark, China Plate, White Porcelain, Roses (or whatever) Dinner Ware, Tableware

YOUR TITLES SHOULD BE WORDS OR PHRASES PEOPLE SEARCH FOR.

no one is looking for random plate.

O I thought he was asking for views, not sales.

If no one is bothering to view the listing then they are obviously also not going to buy it. Remember people can see the title, the picture, and the price. If they do not view the item it does not mean they didn't see it, they just preferred to not click on it and/or buy it. One regular poster that I know of rarely gets views because of his prices. People see his stuff but prefer to just not view it. He blames Ebay and thinks Ebay hides all his stuff.

I don't know that it will help your views, but a couple things i noticed off the top. 

On your listings for makeup bags and wallets, etc.. you should probably include meausrements. I have no idea how big that Little Mermaid makeup bag is. Try and work on your pictures. The ones of the Pierre Cardin purse are pretty dark. Maybe reconsider your shipping costs. $5 seem like a lot for a VB wallet or the makeup bag. Even $3 would be better, they should not cost you more than $2.66 for the actual shipping. I do think that offering free shipping will help you though. I think a lot of people don't even click on listings that don't offer free shipping, even if the total cost is less than other sellers. It's a psychological thing. 

I hope things get better. I think overall things have been slow on eBay, lots of people complaining of lower sales lately. Good luck!

Ummm yeah, I get all that. You're always so helpful and kind! Dry humor doesn't seem to go over so well on these boards. Go figure

You hit on a very important point that is often overlooked.

If all the info a buyer needs to make an informed decision is not in the listing, they will most likely hit the back button.

Measurements are important!  As is an accurate description of the item.

Pictures should be clear and crisp, not blurry or dark.  And there should be more than one.
