The items you currently have for sale appeal to a very specific and limited market. If you’re simply interested in getting more visits to your store, I would suggest adding to your inventory lower cost items with a broader appeal.

 

Back in the day, many home entertainment  stores sold strictly audio equipment.  Traffic tended to be slow.  They started adding records to their inventory to get buyers into their stores and to build relationships with those buyers and many of those buyers bought their equipment from those stores when they were ready to do so.

 

What do you think you could add to your inventory that's less expensive but is related to what you currently sell?

Using things like promoted listings might help but they aren't simple to set up.

 

As a note, on this ID your sell through rate is about 10% per month, that is very good, probably better than most of us here...

 

The best non-computer thing do to in my opinion is keep finding more of the hat forms, based on your sell through rate, there aren't many/better competitors for them given how well they are selling. As well, the more you list the more (theoretical) exposure you get.

 

The art will be a different story I'm sure......

With the exception of Promoted Listings and Best Offer, most of eBay's suggestions are not very useful.

And I see you already use Best Offer.

The thing about PL is that you only pay when the item sells. (The new PL+ feels wrong to me. We would be charged for all clicks, not just for sales.) Don't make the percentage you choose too high. I'm quite happy with the results of one percent.

 

You have a niche market, hard to expand from there. Look at your other interests and perhaps add some related products.

 

But with only 45 items you are wasting money having a Store at all. You have 200 Free Listings without one. Save that fee.
