What are you selling?

Are you getting alot of people viewing but no buyers or not even that? Your title is the main attraction. You have to have the right combination of searchable terms in order to get people to see the items in the first place. If you are getting alot of people looking but no bids then it's a pricing or description issue. Your question is too vague for any of us to answer accurately. Another thought is that if you have no feedback and you're trying to sell items for a couple hundred dollars. You have to build up a reputation as a seller by providing the right product at the right price. You have to show that you have completed auctions and that customers are happy. If all of these things check out, it's probably just your luck. I have had weeks with no views or sales and then... bidding wars sell over and beyond what I expected.

Because...drumroll...Ebay sucks! Ebay sucks piggy banks dry and is full of nothing but hype. Sooo my advise is get off the ban wagon and sell on crag's list which is FREE and my expirience is that it actually works. Sold a dresser, some Mary Kay luggage, and a doll house all of which I tried selling on ebay with out success. I got my asking price too. no games!
Best wishes..

i used 2 have a tuff time on ebay also...then i tried different techniques on yahoo and if something worked on yahoo, i tried it on ebay and it usually worked. the main thing is, sell a 'loss leader' - something of good quality u sell cheap and take a loss - to build your reputation. i sold ten 14K 1 carat champagne colored diamond bracelets for 149. those were my loss leaders. then i sold 20 VVS and VS 1 - 3 carat diamond earrings, pendants and solitaires for 1900 to 3550 each. i got back my loss leaders +. just establish yourself as a seasoned, dependable professional. always ship, rate and respond to questions promptly. dont try 2 make a profit off of shipping. the quality of your merchandise will eventually speak 4 itself.

Why don't you provide us a couple links, or your business name, so that we can go see what you are trying to sell.
Without any facts we can only give generalities, such as:
They are priced too high
Your not listing them in the right category
Your ads don't look professional so no one trusts you
You charge too much for shipping
The products are crap.
There, that's the best I can do with the information provided.

I assume your item on ebay has clear photo presentation as well as full description. what is left is the pricing. you may want to search the selling price of similar item on ebay, find out your competitors and price right to sell.

Could be two reasons:
1 - You are asking too much for a starting price
or
2 - You are selling crap that no one wants

Use their marketing tools. You can promote your item or use bigger pictures or bold bright writing to get peoples attention. or modify your title so its easier to find or maybe your not starting with a reasonable price.

because you are not modifying it by making a change to it and listing it as a rare item.
