Why aren't my items selling on eBay? - Iasonas iokas - 04-08-2014 08:04 PM

here's my ebay: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=balados20&ftab=AllFeedback

I would really appreciate it if some eBay-savvy people could let me know what I'm doing wrong and give me some advice.

Many thanks. Smile

think outside the box! failing to do this limits your exposure to buyers.

many years ago was a mid level ebay person (buyer - seller) but gave up account.

one thing i find extremely annoying about search results that include ebay listings:

since i am no longer a buyer - seller there unless i want to re-up as a member and all their ToS nonsense, i can't talk to the seller- thus even tho a search result brought up that item, the seller lost an opportunity that they were required to pay for a listing

sellers should look at ways to allow people like me to talk to them, whether that is watermarking their photos with a copyright and a URL or some other method - i saw one seller thought of this and used an email address as their ebay user id

Many of your photos suck. They are dark and unclear. Seeing some of those photos wouldn't encourage me to click on your listing.

Your descriptions are often VERY short " DISC: Like New
Cover: NM label: MINOS". This tells the buyer almost nothing.

You are trying to sell worldwide but not offer anything to explain what you are selling other than to people from Greece.

The dish for example. "A very rare antique dish from ΙΕΡΑ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙC ΘΕCCΑΛΟΝΙΚΗC." That is your entire description. 99% of the people who look at it are going to have to look it up to see what it even means. How rare is it? When was it made? Who are the people it displays? Not everyone in the world knows the history of your area.
