Demand

What factors do you believe affect the demand for your goods/services that you offer for sale?

What are some things that affect the demand negatively (i.e decrease demand for your items)

What are some factors that affect the demand for your items in a positive manner? (i.e. increases demand for your item/s)

Demand would be influenced by many things, including:

attracting buyers through competitive pricing

forming a relationship with the buyer, through good service and courtesy

encouraging customer loyalty, and repeat sales

those would be positives.

Negatives would include:

delays in providing a good service, such as poor communication and slow shipping

substantial price hikes without a (to the buyer) good reason.

trying to explain to a buyer that there is a fee on postage, that will be passed onto them, could only be a negative.

negative - the buyers' inability, due to eBay's useless search engine, to find my products.
