selling

I have been selling automotive magazines for over a year and it has just stopped any suggestions.  Other item I am selling have done the same, I have lowered prices and not sure what to do.

I know what you mean, I have magazines called Gas & Oil, beautifully illustrated and glossy and no buyers. When I price older car brochures and magazines from the 40s and 50s they fly. When I frame old car ads they also are snatched up. I think people maybe looking at your shipping price even though it's reasonable IMHO.

     Maybe your hot rod magazines would do better at fleas and charge like 10 bucks a stack. Best to you.

I am willing to bet that your $9 shipping price is keeping them away.  My advice would be to incorporate the $9 shipping into your asking price and offer Free shipping and turn on "make an offer - option".  Just a thought from an active Top Rated Power Seller.   Have a great day and good luck on your sales.

Maybe eBay is hiding your listings in the search bar. This morning I found a trap on Google search that was listed on eBay. Since it was on the phone which doesn't display things like the item number I wrote the seller's name down and got on my tablet where I can see everything better. I typed in the trap name and looked at every trap shown but couldn't find it.  When I searched by their user name I found it. So that meant eBay has to be hiding listings.

Based on some of your competitor listings, looks like many are sending them Media Mail, which they likely do not qualify for.

When I view your listings, e-Bay shows me 3 competitors just below yours with similar pricing and free shipping.  Might have something to do with it.

Magazines don't qualify for media mail, which makes it difficult to compete with sellers that do anyway.

Priority flat rate boxes, Priority flat rate regional boxes, & Priority flat rate envelopes should help to get your shipping costs down so your listings are more attractive to potential buyers. 

There's a magazine size Priority regional flat rate box you could cram a whole lot of magazines in.

Beanie Babies have almost no value.

I'm glad because my dog has lots of them. His favorite one is Prickles.

The OP might look into that, then combine some groups by publication name, sell for the combined total, but really would drop the shipping cost, as long as does not go over weight restrictions for that size box.

All the advice is pretty much what has already been given to you in previous threads, none of which you have ever replied to, and all of which you have so far declined to take:

and

But, good luck.

If you are looking for advice, it has been given. If the motive is to get people to look at your listings, that will not work, nor is it allowed. Looking at the 3 post by the OP, not one post by them after the original question.

Did you try using a 1% promoted listings? It used to help my items when I sold tremendously.
