I have several item for sale but am not getting many looker or was wondering if I am getting out 

[shinwell_johnson]

I can see your listings, and a couple quick searches showed your items.

Have you researched whether similar items to what you have listed are actually selling?  It may be that you are in a category with not much of a market.  Or a supersaturated category with too much competition.

Your titles need help - spelling matters. 

Use all the applicable keywords that will fit in your titles.

lots of work in those......and looks like you do good work.......and having made them, your prices are too cheap for the work

but lots of competition nowadays from ready made---china

So 2 things.....you need a "hook" to show up in searches and you need a "gimmick" to set you apart from the rest in pictures.......  Both those need to be in the titles.....

Material should have a Keyword theme, so the item shows up in searches.....in the spring all the navy, red & white nautical/sailing clothes come out...... Holidays are easy......  dogs.......specific breeds..... pug owners will buy anything as will Boston Terrier owners. Sailing, beach, butterflies in the summer, snowmen etc. in the winter

The gimmick needs to be a showy something.......  Maybe a flower/ stuffed anchor/bone that could clip onto the bag.....perhaps a big beautiful button, rhinestone thingy.........lots of fabric yoyo ideas.......  What used to be called "embellishment".........

So you do all that.......and raise your prices to between $25-30, I would think....

On your pictures, need good ones of the interior pockets, closeups of the gimmick and the material itself.  Stick a tissue in the pockets so people can see them.....

You need some help with descriptions.... not meaning to hurt your feelings, but descriptions need to be crisp, enthusiastic with spelling correct and punctuation......not just a long run on sentence.  You need to SAY interior pockets are 4"x 6", that the colors are Red and Black........

just some ideas...... hand made stuff is hard........

The fabric totes are more a summer or spring item to my mind.

If you are making those and the hot pads yourself, say so.

Nothing wrong with adding Made in the USA. Or even a modest little flag.

For International Shipping-- look into First Class International Package.  It's usually cheaper than Priority, only a little slower, and has Confirmed Delivery to most countries you would want to ship to.

You have to look under Shape and Size then scroll down. USPS hides the cheaper rates.

@supergirlcraft   I have to agree with @dhbookds ... raise your prices.  You might also consider moving the word "handmade" more towards the end of the Title line.  The other thing may be you need to drive some traffic and that can be accomplished by adding some additional items to sell in diverse categories.  You can also consider Promoted Listings but that would be after you raise prices.

I agree with the others - raise your prices! People are willing to PAY for quality handmade items. Don't sell yourself short. Your 'Bama hot pad - you'll either give that away or lose money just on the shipping.

Don't sell yourself short.

Seriously,

return here and read this board for a few weeks.

There's a lot of good advice.

You specifically need better Titles.

You get 80 characters to attract and have eBay's computer connect you to buyers who are searching for items here.

HOT AND COLD HOT PAD

only has Three searchable words: Hot, Cold, Pad

(no one searches by "and")

HOT AND COLD HOT PAD

This also means that anyone searching for a Hot Pack or a Cold Pack wouldn't be shown your listing because yours doesn't include "Pack" in it.

Or if I searched for Microwavable Heating Pad, I wouldn't be shown yours, because yours doesn't have Microwavable or Heating in it. ("hot" isn't "heating" to eBay's computer)

Look at a few comparable Titles by sellers with similar items as yours:

Microwavable Heating Pad Hot & Cold Therapy Pack Natural Rice For Aches Cramps
XL Microwave Heating Pad, Large Heat Pack Lap Blanket, Hot Pack Body Wrap Rice
Shoulder Neck Rice Flax Heating Pad, Hot Cold Pack All Natural Pain Relief, blk
Microwave Pads, Cold Hot Packs, Eye Pillow Neck Wrap Heat Pack, Rice Flax
