my site

[2001kx]

I didnt change much because my skills are limited.
i wanted to keep it simple for future upgrades and my limited skills at modding my store.

my site: decalbomb :


i am a top rated powerseller on ebay with the same items and 2500+ feedback..
i dont expect that with my site but one would think i would get a sale or 2 every month.
i get almost no customers and haven't had a sale in over 2 months.
i dont know why? is it my site?

you wont hurt my feeling so let me have it.

No particular order:

• Free Shipping logo should be displayed on front page
• How do your prices compare to your feeBay store? They should be cheaper, otherwise there's no incentive.
• Spruce up your opening text with maybe different fonts and colours (don't go mad!)
• Use the Featured Categories facility to brighten up the front page a produce a point of visual interest
• Use SEO categories (new feature in 2.5)
• Tweak the SEO metatag file to get better SEO entries (save that file away so when you upgrade you won't lose the effort made)
• Promote your site with a flyer on every feeBay sale
• Get involved with forums that might be interested in your products
• Use Category Descriptions as much as possible

You also need to remember how people find you - on eBay you have an amazingly large market of customers ... on your own you have a much smaller catchment audience.

As EJ says - try to drive demand from existing eBay customers or offer their friends a deal.

• Spruce up your opening text with maybe different fonts and colours (don't go mad!) - ok
• Use the Featured Categories facility to brighten up the front page a produce a point of visual interest - ok
• Use SEO categories (new feature in 2.5) - i dont see this feature? im using 2.5rc2
• Tweak the SEO metatag file to get better SEO entries (save that file away so when you upgrade you won't lose the effort made) - where can i find this?
• Promote your site with a flyer on every feeBay sale - i include a flyer with every ebay sale
• Get involved with forums that might be interested in your products - i do this on the forums i frequent but not really my targeted audience
• Use Category Descriptions as much as possible - ok

I notice that your drop-down sub categories menu 'animals decal' is hidden behind your slideshow

What browser and version. That information is necessary or it cannot be debugged...Comments are nice, but if you find a problem it is usually a good idea to include what your browser/version and platform is.

I tested in all current browsers FF,Chrome,IE,Safari and they all look good. See screenshot from chrome, but all look the same.

Thats strange. I was looking in both Firefox and Chrome but it seems to be fine now...some weird things happening today and tomorrows Friday the 13th!!!!!
