This is not a disrespectful or disparaging comment,

but I have no idea what "hot" "gay" leather clothes are.

 

Yes I know many products are used by people of all interests and types.

No problem.

 

I just wonder if you have a leather jacket (or other items) someone of All interests may have wanted ...

until your choice of words made them feel it was designed for only one type of interest.

 

Respectfully,

You are competing against American-based sellers with very similar items to yours. They can ship faster and cheaper. And in some cases are charging less for the item as well. This is an ongoing problem for some international sellers like yourself.

 

Another issue i noticed, it is against eBay policy to reference feedback in a listing. It is considered Feedback Manipulation. Some sellers may do this, but it is best to follow the rules (see link below). Also, by asking for buyers not to leave negative feedback, you are inadvertently suggesting there might be a reason for negative feedback to begin with, that you would have to ask them not to leave it. Even if it were not against policy, it is not a good idea to suggest what kind of feedback a buyer can leave. Here is the policy:

Another thing, you are promising to falsify customs information in your terms of sale, by suggesting you will put a low dollar value on an expensive item. This is just not a good idea either. If you are willing to lie on a customs form, you are saying you are unethical. Why would someone want to do business with you? You need to stand out in the crowd because you have stellar customer service or great pricing. Not because you will cheat the system, or help a buyer cheat the system.  It is both against eBay policy, and is illegal as well.

If i were you, i’d 1) examine your stateside competition, and 2) cut back on all the extraneous terms of sale, especially those mentioned above. Good luck to you, and hope things turn around for you soon.

What you're selling is not what people are buying right now. In my area, those clothes are things gay men would wear to fetish clubs. Except with coronavirus, people aren't going to those right now, so they don't feel the need to buy those clothes.

 

Also, clothing in general is an oversaturated category, even in good times.

I search for "leather police uniform shirt" and there were about 80 similar items priced below yours. Many of them looked similar if not identical, and were priced at $20 total cost, as opposed to yours at $85 total cost. 

 

Sometime "difficulty in selling" an item simply means that nobody wants to buy them at the price you are asking.
