Help needed to improve listing

toasty_toes — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:29:06 GMT

Sales have really dropped off recently and unsure why.

It would really be appreciated if you could have a look at my listing and tell me where you think I could improve it.

Thanks in advance

Maybe ask on your own countries boards as you are ebay Australia at the moment.

But the listings look great and might just be a slow time for sales in general at the moment.

Thanks for your reply and nice comments.

This is my listing on Ebay AU and is the one I am concerned about. It only shows on Ebay AU for AU/NZ customers.

I'm not too worried about my other listings as it is Summer in Europe. I'm just concerned that I was selling loads to AU, but sales have really dropped off recently.

Many Thanks

I agree that your listings look great.

Have you taken into account that winter is half over here and we have been having unseasonally high temperatures (at least in Sydney) for the last few weeks.

My granddaughters have not worn their winter tights for a while now and there is no way their mother would be buying more this late in the season.

Many thanks for your input

that listing is showing up as being on the uk site for me.

Perhaps as well as the weather aspect, buyers are buying locally and not from OS?

Hi - I agree, your listing looks good.

The only thing I could see as to why you are not selling as much here in Aust. is that there are quite a few Aust. sellers whom are selling at a cheaper price with free postage.

I have also found that a lot of my customers want their purchse ASAP and don't want to wait for items to come from overseas.

Good listing though

All the best

Hi, I think your ad is great. I am with the others, it has been a really warm winter so far and really not much left.

Postage time is also a consideration, I love buying from the UK but hate how long I have to wait !

Spring will be here soon, perhaps look at promoting your brighter coloured stockings/tights maybe packaging a spring colours 3 pair package special together.

Just a thought.

You look very professional to me.
