| I've been trying for 3 months to sell products from a supplier that purports wholesale prices; I list the items, get a few look sees and they go unsold. I've got over 200 items unsold in the last 3 months. What am I doing wrong? |

| A little more information would be helpful, what products? what sort of pricing? a link to the account? |

I have a membership at DOBA.com. I used their price to me + their drop ship fee + shipping fee and added a few dollars to it.
During Christmas I tried selling laptop and desktop computers and some accessories, mp3 players and accessories big screen TVs, name brand fragrances, silverware, wine glasses and carafes, and digital cameras.
Granted, I used their descriptions and pictures for most ads which were just descriptions with no pursuavsive writing.
I tried some super bowl related items that ended that day and every one went unsold.
I tried some drop shipped items from a couple other places and they too, went unsold.
Seems like wholesale pricing isn't good enough? |

DOBA's pricing seems quite high to compete with Ebay in my opinion, also the market you are looking at is extremely competitive with sellers that have pricing based on 1000's of items buying power etc.
Maybe have a rethink around what you wish to sell..Ebay is best a niche market unless you have buying power etc |

| You have to look at your competition on ebay and if you cannot compete....you will have to find another source... |
