I sell about the same as you do on this ID. One or two items a day, vintage science fiction paperbacks, postcards, and dress patterns make up most of my stock.
So I hope you take this as constructive criticism.
Your titles are terrible.
Take the DVD Betty. Who are the stars? When was it issued? Any keywords you could add (swimming, murder, Betty Page)
Every DVD and most books since 1980 (many earlier) are in the eBay Catalogue. Using the catalogue not only gives you a prefilled title, and thorough information about the title, but gives you slightly higher placement in Search.
It also gives you a stock photo of the title.
I actually modify the stock titles and prefer to use my own pictures, but if you want to list fast on a widely available item, the catalogue is the way to go.
EBay draws your attention to the catalogue when you are listing, revising and selling similar.
And here's a thought about pricing.
Your prices are TOO LOW.
First because under $10, unless you are always selling multiples, which in my experience doesn't often happen in Books and DVDs, your gross is too low to make any profit. Under $5, it is too low to cover your costs.
Are you keeping a spreadsheet record of your costs? Include the cost of the item, cost of packaging materials, cost of eBay and PaYPal fees, and even of your time. (Here in Ontario, Canada, the minimum wage is 17 cents a minute.) Some of these will be included monthly (fees) or less often (poly envelopes, bubble wrap).
Either you have to charge more for your items or you have to find a product that gives you more profit.
Most of my books cost me 75 cents to $1.00 Canadian. I sell them at $10. US (which currently is about $11.00 CDN.) Because I ship from Canada, my shipping charge is higher than my US competitors. And I am selling one or two titles a day, same as you are .
Further to this is the odd fact that many people percieve the higher priced item as more desireable and better quality. While this may be true most of the time, there a lot of products out there that are no better than lower priced products. The difference is often that the seller is selling sizzle over steak. Descriptions, pictures, 'aspirational' advertsing, You want your buyer to think that she will be prettier, more popular and smarter if she buys your product.
It is very hard to do this with used DVDs of course, but keep an eye open for titles that rarely show up or which appeal to a specific group. In books my best sellers are anything by John Wyndham or Douglas Adams, Roberts' Rules of Order (always to the former Soviet Union) and Bescherelle, a French grammar book.
Gonna stop for now, my boss just arrived and I have my Morning Report to give her.
