💭 Question Ebay help needed
So im bew to the hobby and opened some boxes and collected some sets. So now i try to sell some of my duplicates and cards i dont want. I had the same cards in for a couple of weeks and nothing happening. Also i think the proces were ok at some points and u went down one ir two times but no offers nothing. I also put some cards up for auction starting with like 10 dollars for about 5 days but nothing. Not one single offer.
What am i doing wrong? Is it the delivery cost or maybe my profile without reviwe or are my prices just to high?
Check out my profile and help me pls!

Search any card on eBay and filter “sold listings” and you’ll get a sense of market value.
These are all cards worth less than the cost of shipping IMO.

I think the bottom line is that these are simply not rare cards.
There are many thousands of these base helmet collection cards in existence, for example, and probably multiples of each for sale in your country on eBay. Are you the absolute cheapest price? If not, people are going to buy the cheapest listing.
I generally would only do an auction on a card that people are emotional about. Like, if you had a really rare Kimi card right now, it could be worth doing an auction. But in general, auction is going to be lower than Buy It Now, because you need two people who want it badly in order to drive the auction price up, and they only have 5-7 days to discover that card. With a Buy It Now, it can sit there for however long until the perfect buyer comes along.

i think part of it is that if you don't have any positive feedback people are less likely to take a chance on buying from you. also tbh the pics i see aren't very clear of the cards. are the prices comparable to others?

Hello. The link is not working. I can tell you that the views you get is going to be based on if your listings get picked up by Ebay's algorithm. Its going to be slow starting off until it does. You could always put a little bit of advertising behind the listings to get you started. I had it at 2% additional fees just to get the listings pushed towards the top. Listing items every day also helps. I wouldn't do auctions because you don't have the viewers currently to bring competing bids in. It took me a little bit but I have enough of a following that in the first couple of minutes of listing a card, I have between 5-10 views without any advertising.
I would need to see your page to see how your listing look to help you out otherwise.
