Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. I loved hear your advise on the photos and the descriptions.
I opened a store because I am planning to list a lot more items...if I decide that I want to continue selling on Ebay.
Tippytoes, I think you should educate yourself on Kerastase. Although I didn't really like the product, it sells for $45-$55 new, so my price is fair, IMO. Also, "Why aren't your items selling? Probably because no-one wants them at the moment." Quite honestly that is not helpful advice. No need to be salty.
I never saw that product but my advice would be pull it off ebay immediately & if you want to, relist on gumtree.
My feeling is even if it is a product that was allowed on ebay, selling something like this that has been used leaves you open.
All a buyer would have to do is state the product had gone off or spilt or whatever and you would be hit with having to give 100% refund.
How on earth could you prove it hadn't deteriorated or spilt? So easy for a buyer to smear a bit.
If you list on gumtree (if allowed) and someone comes to pick it up, they could look at it first and if they go away with it, more likely you'll have a better sale.
I predict you won't get $28 or whatever for it though, even if new price is $45.
That's over half price. Unlikely to happen. I wouldn't say no one would buy it but I'd guess the buyers wouldn't be wanting to pay much more than $10-15 for it.
But.. I am not expert so it would be interesting to hear how you get on with it.
