Answer 1

Some excellent advice already.

Key words may drive additional traffic when searching.  Review the other sellers listing, including hidden text and then adjust yours accordingly.

Answer 2

Just put ur price lower but make the thing ur selling sound better than it is.

Answer 3

The thing is is that maybe you are sticking to one way of promoting your products online. if you did it more ways than one youd probably be better off socially & financially.

There are many ways but never stick to one way to get people knowing about your product online and even offiline too!

I also agree with Lithu... above it can happen.

I suggest;

1] http://www.sellit-right.com accepts online and offline Biz and product advertising.  You can add yours as others have done there.  You can take part in their affiliate programme too.

2] Create a blog and allow comments.

3] Add url to web directories too.

Answer 4

Bear in mnd that some Ebay sellers are unethical---they will create multiple accounts, 'buy' off each other, and of course leave positive reviews. The real question of how your business is doing is if your sales are still going strong.

Answer 5

There is a recession going on. You're not alone.

Answer 6

If the other seller, you speak of, is jordan.

He is starting his bidding way below what your opening bid price is.

He's getting more sales, but he's cheaper.

Search the item and then check the "Completed Auctions" box ( left hand column)    He's selling for like 8.99

One went to 61.00 but thats because people get foolish in a bidding war on one auction, and forget they can get another one cheaper, mosttimes

I would drop some of the shipping information in the subtitle and work VISTA XP into it.  He has that and NEW in his title.   FREE attracts a lot of attn
