[joshcatau]

Hi Just started selling on this ID  with 0 feedback 

I have pretty much 0 Traffic go to my listing

How can I improve traffic  when just starting out?? 

I Need get my feedback up so get access better options like gallery Picture which cant use till get a good score .

I would put more in the description - as much as you can fit within the space allowed. DVD, blue ray, actors any thing that can be a keyword to get better results in search.

Your images are for the most part clear, but if you have access to an editing program, perhaps crop them so the background is white or a standard colour for all rather than just a desk or table top. Only suggestions they are quite easily seen, but the little touches can make all the difference.

Also perhaps just purchase a few cheap items so you can get some FB. Other than that, patience and good luck with it.:-)

Hi there,

Sorry to say but you have picked probably one of the most competitive product categories on Ebay so you are going to have to find a really appealing reason for anyone to buy your product so you may want to look at including postage or adding something else to make the purchase more attractive and as already stated more descriptive titles and descriptions will definately get you more search results, remember you will get more interest if you offer something on a silver plate rather than a garbage lid 🙂

As already mentioned the quickest way to increase your FB is to buy a few items.

We all started with 0 FB, but u have to grind the comments, like mentioned you have to buy aswell, Like everything you have to be accepted by regs, I have people buying of me that have 1000 stars, i have 40 =(. i also find you have to hassle people. so to speak to leave feed back, i always send a msg a week after sale\postage to make sure people are happy,

How ever i clicked something on my account that Ebay says they cant reverse while i was playing with my settings, So i may have to start over again aswell. GL

NO NO NO - Never hassle/ask/request any feedback, not ever. As a seller you take it as it comes, you get positive YAY - you get nothing, do not ask or you may get what you don't want. Please realise feedback is voluntary. Many sellers have it set to auto leave when left for them, some do it monthly, some not at all, this is the choice of the member. As for buyers, same applies, if a seller ever requested fb from me, I would leave nothing. If they requested more than once I would be sorely tempted to leave a neut.

I dont hound people, I just send a msg saying" are you happy with your item, feel frre to leave back" or similar, Not 50 msg in a week, I dont sell crap or defective item, SO i know my feed back will always be good unless something has happened in transit.

Best way to get few FBs is to buy few cheap items that you may otherwise buy locally from B&M store.  Also, if you want to just sell few items to get FB, you could list with FREE postage and post the CDs in the CD mailer as a large letter.  Of-course, that means you may have to refund if somebody claims they did not receive the item. 

As already said above, you are selling against lot of competition, and 0FB certainly does not help.  But do not listen to anybody who tells you to ask for FB, that is not a good advice; FB is totally voluntary and people who ask for FB often get one that are not happy with.

not a good idea to start items at 99c because if you only get the one bid and they pay by paypal you get nothing out of the sale.....with the dvd you can post in a tuff bag for $3 and go as a large letter but if you bubble wrap it you will have to send by parcel rate and click & send is the best option as its well under 500g

Sorry - must have misunderstood ?:|

Josh, I am an ebay buyer only.  I think your cost of postage is higher than most.

I would put a BIN price on the item with free postage.  I think buyers are more attracted to this than a low bidding price with high postage. A lot of  buyers  prefer BIN instead of mucking around with bidding.
