It is very hard to sell books unless they are rare or popular because there are thousands of them on EBAY. You can make your llsting look better with an image host and good looking text. Offer both media mail and Priority Mail, or ask a higher price and offer free shipping. Before Xmas that might help. Offer discounts on multiple items. Accept returned items, less shipping which is only $4 for a book. Ship international. Definitely fill in the Item Specifics. Take good pictures of the book. Choose auction rather than Buy It Now. Make sure your title has a lot of search words and fill the whole line. I know a sub-title helps but I hate to spend the $ for a cheap item. I have had to list some items 3 and 4 times. Remember, you can have 5 free items every 30 days. There is more info on EBAY help pages.
Have you looked at completed listings to see how much the book has sold for in the past? You may be asking too much for it, or there isn t a market for it .....at this time. How was your description? Did you include any photos? I would research this a little and then list it as a Fixed Price or a Buy It Now.
check the ending price on similar books. Usually, free shipping and low starting bid attract buyers but if the books are not a high demand, you might end up loosing money if you don t have a reserve. At the same time, if you do have reserves, it turns buyers away. I would say check the demand and then decide if you can afford a lose to attract more potential buyers. good luck!
