Few Sales Here & There With Lots Of Views

[Anonymous]

Hi and thank you for having a look at my question.

I'm a new seller on eBay, overall I'm happy with how my selling is going, though I'm wondering how I can turn all my views into sales, or try to turn them into sales. 

Am I in a too saturated category?

Is it the time of year to be selling these items?

Do I need to look at my competition more?

Is it my pricing?

Or maybe it is my expectations are too high?

I do try to bundle my products in packs of two or more when I can. this helps me with the price of postage and especially too because of the price with tracking, so I don't put the postage onto the buyers.

eBay has recently increased my selling limits to 100, so I'm thinking when I can add more products I will try to raise my prices a little more, so for now I do feel at the point, my expectations aren't so much on making lots of $$ however  I would like to learn more on how to manage my listings better and turn my views into possible sales.

Am I thinking and looking at all of this in the right way here?

Kind Regards

Caroline

eBay is inundated with items like you have listed

Millions and millions of them

And fewer and fewer people have money to spend on cheap, throw away ‘stuff’

Sorry, but no point in sugar coating it

Maybe try selling better quality things that people actually need

Otherwise stuff like this just gets drowned in the sea of landfill already listed by millions of other

Hi Sandy, thank you for your response. Yes this has been my thought too when I see all the other sellers. I have joined a program to help me starting to sell on EBay, I was told by them to start selling cheaper items first and slowly build yourself up because this is what eBay prefer with new sellers. I have been selling some of these items already so maybe it isn't too drowned out as yet lol. Thanks for your input and I will definitely take it into consideration. I can see eBay is also inundated with many different items so I'm not sure what other items your meaning with be quality that isn't drowned in the eBay listings?

I hope you didn't pay money to join the program. You can get much better advice for free on the boards.
