I can't seem to figure out why my bob Marley tank top has not one view in 7 days, I changed categories and tried different key words in the title and just can't get anyone to look at my super rare Marley tank top. And if I copy and paste my whole title and put it in the search in a different browser as a guest to see if it comes up, and nothing shows up, unless I search XL bob Marley tank top, please help

You mean the Bob Marley tank top you have listed for $150?

 

The super rare one that has a selling history on eBay of $25.

 

Yeah, I can't figure out why no one is looking at it.  🙄

When you say, "please help," does that mean you just want us to look at it?

SEO titles have order of importance from left to right.  You have "XL" and "Vintage" as your first two word sets.  I believe your picking up too many search impressions unrelated to your item, resulting in a low click through rate.  You're selling a Bob Marley tank top, start with that.

 

You want search impressions coming from buyers looking for a Bob Marely tank top, but you're possibly picking up "vintage" and "XL" impressions as well.  If you're using promoted listings you're certainly picking up junk impressions.

 

You can actually go to seller hub>performance>traffic> then scroll down and find (search) your listing and take a look at the activity.  I'm willing to bet you have a lot of impressions for your specific tank top.  

If you adjust the title, and you still find your getting impressions but low click through, you'll either need to re-examine pricing or be willing to hold out for the right buyer.

"I changed categories and tried different key words in the title and just can't get anyone to look at my super rare Marley tank top."

 

Sometimes when you revise a listing it can take up to 24 hours to make it back in the mix.

the $25 ones are reproductions, besides no matter what its worth, someone should have clicked on it by now in 5 days of being listed, only because I asked about it here that it now has 12 views and 1 watcher. even people that don't want it still might click on it, and lowering the price with no views is not a good idea, until more viewers see it and offer something  or buy it, or pass it by then I might drop the price, and there is not one shirt like it that says tuff gong on the back, all others are reproduced

no, I'm just not getting views like my other items, views does not mean potential buyers, it just lets me know people have seen it, and there is no section for tank tops, just t-shirts and other types of shirts, I just thought something was wrong with my listing that I got 0 views until now

So....mission accomplished?

well I didn't think it mattered if the word tank top was in the beginning of the title section or at the end, as long as I have enough of the right key words to get a decent number of hits

Do you have access to Terapeak here on eBay?  I can't recall whether or not you have to subscribe to a store. If you do not, I'll give a fellow seller a helping hand and let you see some of the competition you are up against.  If these indeed have a $150 value, you should snap these up and resell them (but the only one I can see that sold was priced at $25):

 

Here is an XL short sleeve with TUFF GONG on the back, a steal I guess at $15:  click

Here is a LARGE tank without the print on the back at $28:  click

Here is a LARGE short sleeve with TUFF GONG on the back at $36:  click

And several others under $75

 

All of these look legit to me, or at least the same as yours.

 

Also ... no ... I wouldn't buy at your offer of $100 either.  😁

also for your information, not one tank top exactly like mine was sold for $25 or looks similar to mine, mine is single stitch not double stitch like others sold here, and don't say made in Jamaica like mine does, and no tuff gong on the back!

You have to promote at 25% or more in order for ebay to let you have impressions.

OK.  I don't know.  All I know is that an item is worth whatever it sells for. 

 

You asked why it wasn't getting views, and I offered you an answer with evidence ... that reality doesn't seem to be satisfying, so I'll let an AI bot answer ...

 

Seller:  Why is my listing not getting views on eBay?

ChatGPT:  eBay hates you.
