We currently have several other threads going on this subject. You might want to pop into one or more of them to see if something helps you.
Keep in mind that there are many people struggling to pay the high prices of food and housing. Coming up on the summertime when the kids are home and it is more expensive to feed and entertain them.
A couple things I would suggest. Don't make all the words in your Titles start with a Lower case. It won't change the searchability of it, but it would look better. Also Titles are the most important piece of real estate on Ebay. Use that 80 character field. Fill it with words that a buyer might search by. Think like a buyer.
Now here is something really important. If the item DOES NOT WORK, that really needs to be in your title, without exception. Your descriptions are good, but you really need that stated clearly and obviously in your title.
I would even suggest creating an ISB [item specific box] specifically for this as well. State clearly the item doesn't work.
Do NOT be shy about stating and over stating the item doesn't work. While this may not have affected you yet, at some point you will get a buyer that gets upset with you because they didn't know the item didn't work.
Variety in what you are selling can also help you get more sales. Clean out those closest and find stuff you no longer want to keep and are willing to ship.
I wish you the very best.

I know you did, I noted that. But please know it is not enough. That needs to be splattered everywhere. I'm telling you at some point it will be a problem for you if you just leave it in normal font in your description only.
Please keep in mind I am trying to help, NOT insult you in any way.
