Having trouble selling my very first item

[j_beaupl]

Hi! I'm new to ebay and I haven't sell a single piece of clothing. I feel like people might not buy because I don't have a selling history, but how can I get a selling history if I have a hard time selling my first item. Would you please help me?

Thank you

what you do is buy for a few months b4 you sell ,this gives you feed back,people are leery because you have no feed back.

I agree about learning about eBay by buying and getting feedback as a side effect.

Also:

Your titles are awful.

Mixed media bubble dress.

Totally meaningless and the only word that might be searched is 'dress'.

Add the colour, the size (thank you for having measurements in the description, sometimes). fabrics, use (day, business, club, goth) style (maybe lolita, harajuku).

You have 80 free keystrokes and they are your best advertising. But don't waste them. One title has tee-shirt twice. Try tee shirt (no hyphen) and t-shirt but not the identical term twice.

If you want to, list on eBay Canada's French site, which allows you to list in either language or both, and also gives you free sub-titles.

What was the point of the ** ? Not something that is searched. Colour, size, fabric, maker.

I wonder if these are handmade dresses, since you have no manufacturer. If so, play this up, but with second hand custom items, measurements are even more important.

Just start selling. But never as auctions first few months. Use buy-it-now at about the price things have sold (Advanced search, put a check on Completed listings). This is if you don't want to get disappointed when only one bargain hunter places a bid for your 99 cent auction.
