*Update*

The site has been sold and therefore this post has been removed.

Thanks for all the help while I owned the site.

    A quick scan of your site was not very encouraging...

    Your main problem is going to be trust... Even if you can drive traffic to your auction site, people are going to very hesitant... To be honest the site looks a bit dodgy, plus when you have Auction Ends: Secret (May end now or a month from now) that does not instill confidence either..

    Also, you are based in Denmark, what about shipping? I did not see what the shipping costs are... So in my humble opinion taking all the facts into consideration you have a ton of work to do before you start worrying about traffic...
    Keep in mind that Auction sites may require a lot of work and even a substantial financial investment...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    If you want to promote your site, You must to do the SEO. There is no way except SEO. You are using the Social media, it is a good way. Beside these you can use the relevant Forum posting. Relevant blog commenting. book marking & so on. You site will be promoted. If you have some Do-follow link, your page rank will increase & your traffic will increase also at the same time. Thanks

        I agree that there needs to be a lot more trustworthiness displayed by the site. For example, an "About Us" page that tells who the owner is.

        Also a statement that makes the reader know you are the legitimate owner of the goods. And a lot more information about the goods you are selling (Does the phone work in Europe, in the US (on ATT, Verizon, T-Moble or Sprint?)

        If you own the products you are selling on your site (unlike ebay, a place where other people can sell on the ebay site) then I think you would earn more by actually selling them on ebay, rather than your own site.

        There's a trustworthiness already built into ebay, since they have a buyer's guarantee, they have been around for many years, etc. Also, your sales will be higher because, they get much more traffic than your site will ever have.

        Best Wishes,
