Why aren't my ebay items selling?
I just recently started selling iphone 5 cases on ebay and they are not doing so well any tips to get them to sell. Http://www.ebay.com/itm/200949610565?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/...1558.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/...1558.l2649
Becasue no one wants to buy them. Perhaps they are too expensive.
My best suggestion is put your item in eBay.com, actually you will be getting 50 free auction listing every month in ebay.com so you will be having no insertion fee even. When you put your items in ebay.com go for world wide shipping.
put good title, good photos and good description. Defiantly you will get response.
IPhones break easy and people want durability like the Otterbox
Well, you have '0' feedback and no DSR score.
You have no feedback so maybe some are apprehensive about purchasing from such sellers.
but more than likely it is because the market for the cases are so saturated that people don't even see your listings. You are newbie so ebay buries you behind all the other sellers
also the prices on other cases are lower.
only tip i can give you (though it won't help much in this case because you chose to stock items that are hard to sell at a decent price), is to use up your title space with words related to your item (don't use spam words though because it will get your listing taken down).
for instance, you can title it: IPhone 5 Black White Zebra Stripe Animal Protective Skin Rubber Case
just look at the competition to get some ideas
If you really have no feedback and selling history, that would be a massive turnoff for so many potential customers. Consider selling 5 or 6 to family and friends (via eBay of course). Set eBay accounts up for them if you need to.
Also, consider dropping your price in the early stages to be more appealing.
Add worldwide postage options as well and think what people are looking for when they do a search. For example, most people want things tomorrow. Have you set the settings so people can see they get it tomorrow?
Consider adding a subtitle to the text to give some other Unique Selling Point about your cases.
Finally, I think products that have free shipping are ranked higher by eBay so that will probably help you too.
Make sure you get a nice photo in too.
And consider adding listing as many items as you can. The more products that eBay show are your, the more you'll probably sell.
Also, many people order the products by cheapest first (inc p&p) and filter the results so it only shows products that are located in their own country. Do such a search yourself and if you make sure your product(s) come top of the pile, I'm sure you'll start kicking ***.
Even consider selling at a loss for the first few days if you need to as that could be money well spent to build you status up.
Also… Everyone is effectively buying blind on eBay, so give them some reassurances (esp. In the title / subtitle) that yours are quality items.
- Will 'Buy it now' items be on ebay for several years/months? I found a trusted seller on ebay and I was hoping to order from them on April… But will the item still be there? I tried to contract them but I can't, I just wanted to know if it'll be there for April What do you think? This is what I wanted to buy - http://www.ebay.co.uk/...0611287149 Also this case - http://www.ebay.co.uk/...1229146709
- Why aren't iPhone unlocks cheap on eBay anymore? I got my iphone 5 unlocked for only $1.50 during August 2013. But now I can't even find an unlock service for under $20. What happened?
- Which is better: selling on amazon or selling on ebay? I have an individual seller account and I've noticed that my products sell much faster or ebay. However, I sold two iphones. My final sale fee $1100. However, ebay charged me a final sale fee of $135 Then I was charged $40 by paypal Then I paid $60 total to ship both items. On my amazon account I sold 1 phone. The phone cost $180 Amazon took out $30 Shipping cost $10 So I made $140
- What's the best way for me to take pictures of smaller items i want to sell on Ebay? I'm only using a small digital compact, what is the best settings for this task? What type of background is best? What is the best lighting, natural sunlight or a Halogen lamp? Ii sometimes use my iphone as I can just transfer the pics directly on to the Iphone ebay app, though the picture even though of passable quality is a touch too small.
