Well for one thing, it says your location is India but you have put U.S. shipping costs. It cannot be only $4USD to ship the earrings to the U.S. But the primary reason is you have no feedback. To inspire seller confidence you must buy some items and establish that you have some credibility as an Ebay trader. When people see 100% positive and a bunch of transactions, that will help you.



I don't like bids starting at 1 cent. That is not realistic, and not knowing your track record, if you only get a bid of 1 cent, you could make up a reason not to sell it for 1 cent. An honest seller would not start a bid for 1 cent.



These things make me very suspicious. Why did you list so many items for a new seller? Where did you get these from? Are they stolen? It is very troubling.



I never buy anything from outside the U.S.

Ebay was sold. Many changes were made to make the major business sellers have an advantage. Discussion boards were closed. Before you get a bid, you need good feedback. Without it, you won't get valid bidsl With your inventory, you need to be a business with a tax number. You need to show and be willing to combine all items to save on shipping. Over the kast few years, shipping has gone through the roof. Ebay was once friendly, and like garage sales. The only people who make money now is the company. Add your expenses and deduct on your business account. If you didn't have one, it is a loss. Cut your losses. Sell locally at weekend events. I used to do it, too. There is more to say, but check with other sellers.

First off, cute earrings however, I don't believe that many people on Ebay would buy them for themselves. They look like they would be more for little girls that can't get on Ebay to buy them.



Second, you have NO feedback. Try to buy some things and get a feedback score.



Third, it doesn't show where you are shipping from....only outside the US. People want to know if they are buying from China, Japan, India, where ever...



I wish you luck with your selling.

One of your problems is your titles. DO NOT use an underscore (_) to link words together. No one will search for it that way.



Add something in your photos to show actual size. A dime or a quarter, (coin), will usually do for very small items like yours.



NEVER say "trust me". No one will. You are in India so few people outside your country will trust a brand new seller with no feedback who says 'trust me'.

it's hard to tell what they look like, what the metal is, and why 4 dollars shipping?
