Why isn't my stuff selling?
I am trying to start an online business and to fund it I buy and sell things. Most of the items I'm selling are brand new and things people use every day. For example- tires, rims, coffee cups, tractor parts, clothes, etc. My problem is none of this is selling and honestly it's destroying my confidence because I don't understand. I've put really informative details about the items, I've put good pictures of everything, I've even put the prices much lower than I probably should and I really didn't write but I didn't know what to do. So idk if I'm doing something wrong or what. I will admit the only place I'm selling them is an app called letgo. Idk any other places, I've tried eBay and I have to have PayPal and I never could understand how to set it up so I just didn't. Idk if it's where I'm selling them or how. What am I doing wrong?

The largest & most visited sites are eBay & Amazon. LetGo is a 2nd stringer, with minimal visitors, and likely only 1/10 of the views that eBay & Amazon get. I've never even visited LetGo, and I buy a lot of stuff from online, chiefly thru Amazon & eBay.
If you want your stuff to sell & get move views, figure out PayPal & start using a more popular site.

You shouldn't have any problem using ebay, just set up your paypal. It's so easy to do, you could pay someone to set up an account for you, and when it's time to fill in personal details, have them show you were to insert and then they look away while you type and hit next.

If you cannot figure out paypal, I am pretty sure the problem is on your end. You are probably pricing your items too high. If you found them for cheap and cannot figure out paypal...other people can definitely find them for cheaper than you are selling them.

You have already stated the most obvious reason - you are not reaching the potential customers. Ebay works well on finding customers, or you could become a third party seller through some online retailer such as Amazon, or you may have some local outlet where you can advertise your products, but your letgo app is not working so forget it. Lowering the price as a way of finding customers is not a good business strategy. Someone could help you set up a Paypal account without too much hassle.

no traffic to the site, people would just have to stumble onto your site and there are probably thousands to choose from, also I suspect a lot of people do not use LetGo.
