.... none of which have even close to the amount of traffic unfortunately.
What... you have never heard of advertising, promotion.
If you relly on traffic alone, sit back, do nothing ... just wait for customers to come in you'll never get of the ground even if you sell the goose that lies golden eggs, so to speak - if no one one knows about it!
Coa Cola and the likes are still doing it big time (advertising) even though we are all well aware of their existence - anywhere on the planet.
You start advertising at the onset - and you never stop.
And having a great stock helps, of course, things that we all want to buy, but that's secondary.
You have of course heard of the term: Ability to sell ice to the Eskimos - it almost doesn't matter what you sell, it's how you present it, like something so vital for our existence that we couldn't possibly live without it.
And a fat lot of good Ebay's traffic is doing to most of the sellers here - on all accounts no one is selling anything much here these days (just reading across the boards) - and massive glitches all too often don't help either, buyers and sellers alike.
I know heaps of people who started on Ebay, only to get the feel of things and progressed to their own websites - and are flourishing - so it is very much possible.
