I know DVDs ainโ€™t popular anymore now. ( With streaming etc) but my DVDs it says thereโ€™s no-one looking or watching over and over on a loop , just resisting all the time, occasionally get some one watching etc but mostly zero for 10 days and relists ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Has to be someone somewhere, not just nothing.Is  EBay messing with it so you use their promote listing option.

It's not ebay algorithm shenanigans.  It's the fact you have 6 listings, all the same show that is widely available (it's on Netflix), for a form of media 20-odd years out of date.

I'm guessing it wouldnt be because I can find brand new DVD's for lower prices than you are wanting for used ones.

 

No I must be wrong on that,  of course I would happily pay more for used DVD's.

I don't think the age is relevant - people like the old TV series.   A bit over-priced though.    Also a bit confusing - like Picards instead of Picado,  editon instead of edition,  I don't know what Oitnb means; and I would try to get REGION 4 in the title.

Oitnb means orange is the new black, I canโ€™t fit it all in so I use abbreviation (itโ€™s known for anyway) itโ€™s a show on Netflix about womanโ€™s prison. Picardo is an actor ( Robert Picardo ) Picard is a show based on character from Star Trek . They are limited editions (must be a typo - Iโ€™ll fix it ๐Ÿ˜€) rare and whole season.

I don't understand your answer.    You don't have "Oitnb "   or "Picards" for sale, so why are they in the titles of your listings?

I'm assuming there are people in those shows who are also in these dvds?

 

Maybe?

 

I'd also call that akin to keyword spamming if that is what is going on

Star Trek Voyager is a very specific version of a franchise, I think you'll be waiting a while to sell them to the right person that might come along.  In the meantime you could try other channels like FB Marketplace and Gumtree, but be prepared to put up with a lot of stupid people who message once and don't respond again, and others who are trying to scam you.

If the OP does have Facebook to use Marketplace, I'd be looking for specific Star Trek groups. That way you have 100% of the audience you want. A lot there will probably already have the DVD's, but there would be some that don't, and might snap them up. Local buy swap and sell sites could be useful too, but I've found with my local groups, people don't want to pay any more than 50c to $1 for a DVD, regardless of what it is.
