eBay doesn’t do anything for me.

I thought listing items I don’t use or don’t fit me and literally brand new worn once items would sell more on eBay but I’m very disappointed and I’m disappointed with PayPal too.  Verified my account three times and they even charged me fees that they shouldn’t have.  Yes they reimbursed me but the trouble to go through not worth it.   Go somewhere else.   Not worth the time or fees.  Just gonna close everything once I get a chance Amd go through other sites.

You'd need to give us more detail.  Are you expecting eBay to make your items sell?  That's your job.  You said you were charged fees?  Selling on eBay doesn't involve PayPal anymore, so you did something that either wasn't necessary or was outright incorrect.

 

You can certainly go somewhere else, that's your choice, but know that the problems you had may have nothing to do with eBay.

Why are you disappointed with Paypal? You have a lot of clothing items listed, pretty run of the mill stuff, thats a very tough, oversaturated, category with millions of listings.

Sorry for your frustration.  You have a cute little shop, however you are selling merchandise that SO many others are selling, so needless to say you've got a lot of competition.  Why not use your social media apps to advertise what you have to sell?, because eBay doesn't do it for you.  They give you a place to sell your wares, the rest is up to you.  

 

Go to the top right hand page where it reads "Share" attach your listings to what ever social media you use and let em fly.  I have had good luck using this feature.  

 

I hope you'll have the same.  Hang in there.

 

Happy Selling

You have 80 characters to use in your titles so you should make more use of them.  Buyers may decide to click on your listing and may find your listing just based on the title. 

 

For example, your jeans listing titles should have the brand name,  size and inseam length. I would also put the style of leg such as bootcut and whether they are high, mid or low rise. In the item specifics or description I would also put the actual waist and hip measurements, inseam length and any other measurements that someone might want to know.  I don't sell clothing but I know if I was looking I would not make a purchase unless I had more information on the actual fit.

Op needs to also revamp her shipping fees on the electrical items.

I agree with the others about the titles of your listings. For example, you have a title called "Vintage Radio". If you put that in the general search box, there are 90,000+ listings that come up. How are people going to find your radio among tens of thousands?

Are you putting the shipping package dimensions in your listings? Some of your shipping prices seem very low.  $8 to ship the pasta machine from PA to California?

And, sad but true, millions of worn out jeans and hoodies for sale on Ebay.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't understand that either.
