how to get more views on items??

The only thing I would suggest is to use every inch of keyword space in your listing titles. Even if you've already fully described the item is there anything else you can add that a buyer might search for? Like is that mug you have listed vintage, etc? Even if it's a fluff word like, 'pretty'.. or if it fits, 'unusual' / 'vintage' / eclectic, etc. if it looks modern or chic or even 'hip' (or whatever the new version of hip is (I can't keep up). Something that might make a buyer curious enough to take a closer look.

Godspeed. 🙂

Sorry, you do already have 'vintage' in the title for the mug.
If there's room in the title for the khaki jacket, I'd add the word 'khaki.' For any piece of clothing add the color and/ or 'striped' or collared, etc if it fits. More keywords are more road signs pointing to your listings.

Good luck.

The issue with not getting views is eBay's fault. I have been around eBay since day one. I can tell you, they made changes that are not good. My advice to you is to look for other platforms to sell on. eBay is on its deathbed. Whoever is running this company is killing it.

First, if you are trying to sell an item that no one wants, then there is nothing you can do to increase views.   How would you know?  It is difficult to really know, but if you see a lot of similar listings and no sales, then this might be an indication that your item just isn't wanted.

 

Second, here are some ways to increase views of your items:

  1. Use promoted listings
  2. An item is more visible when first listed and just before it expires.  So, cycling an item with a shorter duration will get more visibility (e.g., use 7-day listings rather than 30-day good-til-canceled).
  3. If an item has been in your inventory for a long time, with a lot of page views and a low click-through-rate (details for each statistic and item are on your Traffic Page), then eBay will track this and push you down in the search ... they want listings with good sell through rates toward the top of search.   To clear the stats, simply end the listing and list similar ... maybe change the title, improve photos or description, and adjust the price while you are at it.
  4. eBay "suggests" that 60-day returns, free-returns, and free-shipping will get you higher in search results.  More recently, being part of the Guaranteed Delivery program might help.

How to get more views?

 

 

1)  sell stuff people want to buy

2)  you could post on a discussion forum, more than once, even.  more views, but not likely more sales (see #1).

Max out the title space with relevant words placed in order from most to least importance, the first 4-5 words are critical.

 

“Paper Doll Hi Lo Dress Teal Green Sleeveless L Ruffled Hem High Low”

Omit punctuation and stop

-words from titles (the, if, and, with, of ... and commas, hyphens, etc.) unless necessary.

 

Fluff words like “cute”, “stunning” “wow” or “LQQK”  will hurt your placement unless relevant to the item like “sexy dress” or “quirky” “edgy” “layered” “tiered” “lagenlook” “tomboy” because these are actual styles.

 

Right now, finding that dress is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But how many people are looking for a sleeveless “Teal green high-low dress in size L” because  that’s your targeted customer.

 

More photos, at least four plus one of the clothing label. 

 

Item specifics are your friend!

Humor in the title  ,,  if it fits in the category  of the item . I've tested this theory  myself .  I have two Pepe Le Pew   themed  Valentines day floating charm locket necklaces for sale . In one title I have ''Pepe Le Pew  Viva la Romance  ! locket necklace ''and the other  just'' Pepe Le Pew Eiffel tower locket necklace '' . The Viva La romance has had 52 views and now has two watchers ,, but  the other nothing special going on . If you can make people grin  with a catchy title  you have more luck I do believe . That's the American way to do things ,, with a sense of humor . 🙂  Tulips
