I posted items on eBay at a low price. For some reason I'm not receiving any views and bid from any one despite putting in a lot of effort with title, pictures and description. I see the same items listed by others who receive bids and is doing well. My question is, do I need to insert tool into my eBay? Does eBay have algorithm that attract potential customers? I only have 10 feedback and they're all from buying and not from selling. I am trying to gain feedback a seller feedback to gain some reputation and selling a lot of my items at a loss. Please help me out here. Thanks!

    If nobody wants to buy, you can't force them to do so. Maybe you need to sell things that are in demand.

      I'm selling products that people buy and are in demand but I'm not receiving any bid or not much views. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I don't have feedback for selling products?

        To be frank, I am not a seller (I work for a 3P inventory tool). But from what I've learned through our customers and market research, If you're brand new on eBay, it can take some time to build up your traffic. Make sure your listings are optimized to bring in the right traffic, too. I know you put effort into filling out your title and descriptions, but take a look at what your competitors are doing in their listings. Could yours be missing some keywords that are often searched when buyers are shopping for your products?

        Skip McGrath is an author and successful eBay and Amazon seller. Here's and article he wrote with 77 tips for new eBay sellers. May be worth a look?

    Try to modify your title to include popular searches. Maybe you overlooked some.
    You can use free title builder tool (Title Builder - Free eBay Title Generator Tool)

    The traffic on Ebay SUCKS sometimes. Have you ever given Amazon a shot?
