    I've had a look at your store and I think the probable cause of your low sales is the fact that you have just one or two stamps from each of very few countries, which is going to be a major limiting factor especially since many items are relatively low value

    To maximise sales I would suggest you try either to increase both the range of countries and depth of material within them, or specialise in one particular aspect of philately

    Do you have a serious collecting area? If so, there may be a gap in that particular market which you are well-placed to fill; try to identify where the shortage of material is and build on it (but don't forget there may be little on offer because nobody collects it!)

    Have a look at some of the 'big' sellers on Delcampe, and take note of what range of material they are offering

    The potential market is big enough to accommodate us all, but only if you are offering something few others are - common stamps are just that and are unlikely to sell on a regular basis, if at all

    Good luck!

    I agree with the previous post. Also you could try to make your scans brighter so your items can be seen more clearly.

    Here in the UK with Easter and the Royal Wedding my sales are down - so you will find certain sales are 'seasonal' depending on your market.

    But you will need to increase the width and range of your stock - or concentrate on a particular area of expertise. The customers are there - you have to offer what they want.

    Something else for your consideration.
    There were some discussions on this in this and other sites.
    Someone suggested that you need at least 3000 items on your shop.
    Look at the big sellers shop. Most are proffesional sellers.
    I have almost the same problem because my shop has about 1100 items.
    My problem is time and will-power, as I can offer 100000 or more items.
    I also like to add a good description. BTW I have no idea but it takes my computer a long loading time.

    Best wishes
