Have you looked at what the same books have SOLD for?

Your prices seem to be optimistic.

As twygwyn asked, have you actually done any research? Like for like, for example. What you want is not necessarily what the market will pay.

As to your question - lack of views (for those that think they mean anything) does not necessarily7 equate to anything specific. In your case, I suspect they relate to your unrealistic expectations

In addition to what has been said, I am not a seller, but I think eBay says that you will get more views if you promote/sponsor your listings. Many of my favourite (small) sellers have now totally disappeared from my feed and I have to go to their page if I want to see their new listings.

I seriously wouldn't worry about view counts. I've had quite a few items sell that said there were 0 views. Surely a buyer clicking on the listing to purchase would show a view, but it doesn't always happen.

I’ve had a little comparison and I think you should do the same.

I chose your last book, Leonardo’s machines. You have it listed at $90 with free postage.
As you can see by my pic, the same book is also widely available on eBay for roughly, a third of the price.

Please tell me why I should pay triple $$ for the same book?

I think you need to sit and do a bit more realistic research.

Yes, Jane. Many people who search for an item probably use price + postage - lowest first, even more so now with promoted listings coming up at the top of best match searches. While the cheapest items are not always the best (and it is always recommended to read the description carefully), I still prefer this search option.

It looks like an interesting book though.
