I would really appreciate if someone could take some time to look at my shop and critique it. I haven't had any sales yet and I have been a member since Feb..Obviously something is not working or maybe nothing is not working. Thank you in advance for your valuable time.

Hi Mary,
it takes time with the sails. I had my first after 3 Month and constantly try to optimize my shop.
I think the seller’s handbook it really helpful. Try to follow their suggestions.
I think and I read that the policies are imported for the customer. And you can work on your SEO, there is no way around.

As above really. It took 3 months for my first sale and I still only have 6. I joined in Sept 2014.

Many reckon it takes 3 -6 months to get your first sale, and it seems to about right.

Best wishes, good luck and hang tight.

I would suggest to list more items in your shop, take clear photos to show the whole item and use different titles. People search for specific terms. Try to guess what people will type in search bar for your products and use these words in your titles.
And I totally agree with what others mentioned. It takes time to get sales.
Good Luck!

Read through this thread. Lots of good advice and blogs/articles to read. Work on your SEO, Titles & Tags, and work on getting more items in your shop. That would go a long way.

Also remember that most sellers don't get sales right away -- you're only been open for ~2 months. Many many sellers who would be considered "successful" now, were not raking in sales their first 2 months. Read up on SEO and other things, and work on implementing those tips, and you'll see a difference! (I sure have)
