@spacemoomcrypto Hi Jarret, in regards to the slow sales the couple of things they stressed a lot at eBay Open in July was the product based catalog... which they are still working out the kinks on... AND item specifics.
If you have any listings that are part of the product based catalog and are not displaying correctly then contact ebay for help on this page: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Product-Catalog/bd-p/ProductCatalog
Fill in as much of the item specifics as you can because google searches go by those and the items title.
You have to realize too that if you are selling the same dropship items that others are selling you have to work 10 times as hard to get them to buy YOUR item.
You might want to consider trying free return shipping on some of the lighter weight items and see if that helps get more sales so you can stand out from the competition.
I have sold more of the same identical magazines for more $ than my competition and I really think that the free return shipping helps. I have not had any returns in the two months I have been offering it.
I looked at this way... a buyer can file a false item not as described case and you're stuck refunding their money anyways because ebay will always side with the buyer on a SNAD return.
Are you active on social media? You can use it to help advertise your items that are for sale..
That's about all I got for tonight. Good luck selling from Jenny in Tucson.

New sellers get a boost in Search for about six weeks.
While negative feedback is not counted against a seller's account by eBay, experienced buyers will not buy from a seller with less than 98%positive FB (99% if the seller is shipping from Asia).
Your supplier 's catalogue has the exact same items that hundreds of other dropshipping newbies are offering-- and they have better feedback and lower prices.
The lower prices are because they aren't selling either and are desperately trying to find customers-- even though they are losing money.
Where I live the minimum wage is 18 cents an minute. If you are working for 17 hours you should have earned $183.60, before your costs.
Your costs are monthly rent on your Store, 10% to eBay on your customers' payments, 30 cents plus 2.9% of those payments to Paypal, web connection and sundries like printer ink.
Did you make $183 today? After costs?
You've already found two problems with your supplier. He didn't tell you about out of stock items-- giving you two negs for Out Of Stock (eBay considers those serious Defects, check your Dashboard) and a false positive from a buyer who bought a pillow and got a pillowcase.
That's pretty bad in only 50 sales. A 6% failed transaction rate.
