New on Delcampe

Hi, I'm in the UK and have approximately 60 commonwealth stamp listings on delcampe for the last month or so. I think the stamps are priced competitively but no sales as yet...

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or is it just a case of 'Low Traffic'

Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to Delcampe. We are in the same boat. I've had 500 listings for 6 months with only 1 small sale and 1 positive feedback. Thankfully, I sell on other sites almost daily (that we aren't allowed to ever mention on here.)

I also posted messages similar to yours and got several responses from members, that I am a new member with no feedbacks, or my items are too expensive even though I see many listings for several thousand dollars, or, I am located in the U.S., or, my items are U.S. even though I list worldwide items, or any number of reasons why my items don't sell on this site..

I even posted links to my store on my daily posts on X and got no response.

What I find interesting, in my various emails and X Feeds, I receive advertisements, announcements from publications, education seminars, dealers, websites, of sales and upcoming auctions from around the world. As a 35 year member & unofficial ambassador of the American Philatelic Society (APS), I receive The American Philatelist magazine, the oldest continuously published philatelic journal in the world which is filled with ads and announcements from websites, auction houses and dealers from around the world. But I don't recall ever seeing any ad or announcement form Delcampe.

Maybe Delcampe advertises elsewhere but I don't know. Good luck with your selling efforts.

Thanks you very much for your reply.

I genuinely thought that being new to delcampe, my listings was not correct in some way. However, I have been doing this for many years.

Not too much joy with other sites to be honest. Once okay but no longer...

Perhaps folk have become a little greedy. Who knows!

All the best.

On Delcampe it can take several weeks before your listings get noticed - but they soon get buried in the thousands of items listed daily. So 60 items is a drop in the ocean and soon forgotten.

You need to be listing items on a regular basis so you always have something at the top of the new listings pile so when people find one of your items they then look at what else you have and then, hopefully, buy some of them.
