That's easy ... sell without profit or even below cost  🙂  Just kidding
... although that's what a lot of sellers do until they run out of money. 

There is no single trick.
Be consistent, sell good quality product, write accurate descriptions, add your own quality images if you are using stock images, respond timely to questions, ship fast, package well.

It is all about quality, not about the lowest price ... and about hard work.

Although there is the issue of eBay itself pushing for lower prices which runs counter to providing quality.
You can not provide quality if you do not make the margin.

Just be patient.  Many items take awhile to sell and you are not exactly selling mainstream items.  Also make sure your prices and services are comparable, if not priced lower, than competitors.  This is especially important when you are a new seller without much feedback.

[ginjaaz_store]

can you explain little bit about that?

I will repost the reply I've already given you on your thread entitled "lack of sales."

I really don't have any recommendations. Personally, I live in a town that has a lot of ethnic grocery stores, including Indian, African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian. I can get about anything I want from anywhere in the world right here in my town. And at a MUCH lower price than you're asking.

As far as the little trinkets go, we can pick those up anywhere, too, and at a lower price.

What products other people might want or need, I really can't say.

The problem with selling to the USA from Sri Lanka is the shipping time. It takes WAY too long for the products to get here . . .

Most of us sellers would like to know the answer to that question.  Seriously be patient and be honest and fair in dealings with buyers.

Do as much research as you can to find out what items sell most; what items are most profitable, etc. eBay sellers are generous about sharing information which has helped them to build up their business so watch the videos of those individuals that you find to be most helpful to you.

Seriously, your items seem terribly expensive.  Even with free shipping.

Hello and welcome. 
I looked at your listings and find you are selling some food products and seeds. There are strict regulations on bringing food stuffs and plant materials (such as seeds) into the USA.

Plants and seeds cannot be imported into the United States without your first obtaining a permit to do so. Recently the rules were relaxed somewhat for “small lots of seeds”, but the protocols are still quite involved and significant.

Below is a link to those new rules. You might want to remove your seed listings until you have a chance to investigate what is required of you to legally export seeds from Sri Lanka to the USA. Ebay also has rules regarding plants and seeds, link below as well.

As for food items, below is yet another link to more information on how to legally sell to the US. Again, to protect yourself, i would consider removing these listings until you are up to speed on how to legally sell such items. In addition, eBay also has a policy on selling food items, the link to that is below as well.

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news, but better to find out now rather than run afoul of international law. Not everything is suitable to be sold on eBay.

sir i have a big problem now! one of my jack seeds pack has purchased from a USA buyer! it is not a big quantity about 100g. what can I do for that order? 

[powell-memorabilia]

Please note that there is a huge difference between selling to the U.S. and being an importer and reseller.  Not all regulations are put on a foreign seller, shipping to an end-customer in the U.S..
