Your new listing, there wont be any delivery charges, unless you're going to pay the buyers way to pick up the item from India.

Those people like yourself are pricing those items based on what THEY think they're worth and my guess is they don't have a clue concerning the American dollar or the present economy.  They're pricing those items based on what others (most likely drop shippers) are pricing them for.  Those items will sit for a long time, if they sell at all.  I need to put a roof over my head and feed my kids more than I need an a salt and stone bathroom set with an over inflated price.  Makes sense to me and most people.  Learn a little more about business and how it works.  It can be helpful.

$85 for a soap dish? That'll be sitting til rapture.  It's like the Sri Lanka seller who wanted $200 for a random wooden cup and $100 to ship.  Absolutely no concept of its actual worth.

Have any of them actually sold at that price??

You can list whatever price you want but that doesn't mean it will sell.


Local pickup only?? You are in India

[mskexports]

I am paying delivery charges that’s why prices that way

thanks!

Well you have lots of views now from everyone looking at your 2 items.

Did that fix the issue?

Your product is not unique or affordable.

I know you think it is but I dont know anyone who would buy either of those items no matter what the cost of shipping is.

People are trying to help you but you just want to say how they are incorrect.

Most people here know the US economy and are not asking for help for views. When you ask for help you should not tell people they are wrong. You may not like the information being told to you but you are the one asking for help.

Your salt agate set is not showing that you are paying for shipping. It should say “Free Shipping” on the listing, but instead it says “Local PickUp Only”. That is what your American buyers see, so no one here in the US will buy it as currently it shows that you will not ship that item. You need to revise that listing. (Your other listing shows correctly as “Free Shipping”.)

If you put "agate bathroom set" into eBay's search engine, it brings up 760 listings.  Then, if you look at sold listings, only two (2) were sold.  Two sold out of 760 isn't very many so I don't know if that indicates that people aren't interested in buying agate bathroom sets, or if they aren't willing to spend that much money on an agate bathroom set.  

I admit, traveling to India to pick up your set (since it is local pickup) sounds appealing but not something that a lot of people are willing or able to do.

Hi @mskexports and welcome. 

Yes, your item is priced competitively. I see these same items listed here in the US from high-end retailers who specialize in luxury goods. Your tray price beats those retailers’ prices. But there is more to choosing what item to sell on eBay than competitive pricing. 

The two items you have listed are in niche categories with a very limited market here. Only the most wealthy of buyers will search for such expensive non-commodity goods. And they may choose local sales rather than wait on lengthy international shipping times.

Not to make it too over-simplified, but the following actions are crucial for becoming a successful seller on eBay. 1) Studying the American consumer market takes time, hard work, and in-depth research. Once that is accomplished, only then will you have enough information to 2) make decisions on what to sell and how much to price it at. After those choices are done, then 3) learning the ins and outs of shipping is next. Last, one needs 4) a complete knowledge of the policies that govern eBay. All are necessary to be successful here. Each of those steps may take months.

There is nothing wrong in listing a few items in the meantime. But you may need to adjust your sales expectations if you jump into selling without adequate preparations. For 99.9% of sellers, it takes more than 2 days to get established on eBay. 

If i were you, i would not be listing items without first understanding how to set up a listing. As mentioned upthread, one of your listing choices (no shipping, local pickup only) will prevent an international buyer from purchasing the agate bathroom set since they would be unable to pick up the item in India.

Below are some links on how to get started selling on eBay. Good luck.

I never cease to be amazed by the hubris of new eBay sellers across the other side of the world.

They ALL seem to think that the overpriced merchandise that they are drop-shipping is somehow of great value to American consumers.  

Maybe that's because that is what their Chinese "instructors" tell them... after these poor suckers have paid $100 to attend a local class teaching them to "make millions" on eBay.  

Count your blessings that you were born and bred in the USA.    I do.

Your items are attractive, but they seem too costly for daily use. I don't find it necessary to have such exquisite items in a frequently used bathroom. One accidental drop, and they could be ruined...

Synthetic alternatives are available that look similar to the real thing for a fraction of the cost.

These keywords“Agate Bath Set” resulted in 474 current listings, virtually every one of them is from India and showed near-identical items to your Salt Agate set. I found the same results as another poster who checked past sales. In the last 3 months, two eBay listings have sold—one 7 pc. agate bath set ($700+) and one single agate dispenser ($149).

@mskexports could you please tell us what factors led you to select these stone bath items for inclusion on eBay, along with hundreds of your countrymen? Apparently there is no demand for these goods, at least not on eBay. As a fellow seller, i am sincerely hoping you did not make any monetary outlay to anyone claiming these items were strong sellers in the American market.

Hello , in india have a Taj Mahal is you know it? We are manufacturer in marbles and stone goods , it is our family business including 100 person. Even in America many wholesaler imports these goods from India TJx, zara home, home centre. I think you have a interest to buy plastic items from china.

There's plenty of money in the US to spend on this stuff - but most of these shoppers are not buying on eBay - they'll either order direct, or purchase locally, even if the pieces are imported from Italy and India (two big exporters of stone products, and the OP is right - stone work is a very old occupation and art in India).

We ordered about 400 sqft of stone tiling for our kitchen and dining room which came up to a hefty $$$ - we would never have purchased it without inspecting it, seeing how it would fit with our house decor, studying its integrity, etc.
