I am a small craftsman. I make my jewelry of local gemstone what I have found from Lapplands forrest myself. All the stones are real stones. And they are very raw. But now that I have listed them in ebay, I have not even received more than 26 people to look into the ad. What is it missing? Are they really so awful that nobody wants to buy or what is it? Or are prices so high?

Trying not to offend you but you asked. In my opinion your stones should be polished and the prices are too high for the quality.

I don't mean to criticise here, but is that number shown in the business card a phone number or contact number? If so, that is forbidden.
Also, I am unsure of the rules regarding just advertising your business in general in the listing with a business name and/or logo displayed even without contact information shown.

Also a suggestion: I don't know the spelling in Swedish, but in English it is "sterling" not "stearling". Since you are listing on the US site, it is probably best to revise that.

Your work is beautiful. But there are issues for craftsmen and artists selling their own work. Too much competition, hard to find in search results, and a society that has been brainwashed into chasing after brand names.
The old ebay where buyers browsed through categories is gone. You have to find out how to show in search results. That might mean changing your designs into theme based jewelry. Try to figure out what subjects buyers search for, like dogs, birds, or some other kind of popular subject. Or perhaps styles, like Art Deco. Do some market research and try to figure out what subjects people look for
I wish that more people would support craftsman and artists instead of corporate brands that charge high prices for inferior products. But people are deluged with ads and marketing.
