Well it sounds like you are starting to build traffic, so that's a good step in the right direction. It's an interesting product to sell on ebay really, I wouldn't personally expect ebay to be a hot bed of activity for business promotional products such as marketing banners.
Have you considered a direct mail campaign to businesses around your own area to create some target rich marketing in?
It's a product that lends itself very well to developing your own independent site if you put an effective marketing strategy into place to accompany it.
I can't help but feel that without an effective marketing campaign, ebay alone won't drive enough target rich traffic on its own. I'm sure you'll get views, but I would expect the sale conversion rate to remain low if no other marketing strategy is put into motion.
I think at times that we all tend to think that ebay is the be all and end all of e-commerce, and while it's a great marketplace for a lot of products, it's a long way short of being perfect for everything.
I might have missed it, but I wasn't aware that those banners were actually created by you. I was left with a feeling of confusion, not knowing if they were paid advertisements from other businesses or something.
It's a good idea to highlight your work, but I would incorporate that a little better so it was simple for the potential client to know what they were looking at.
Great looking graphic you have for your listing, first rate. I would also look at developing a template with that theme and incorporate everything into that template so as you can build a strong brand.
At the moment, it almost doesn't look like that graphic is part of your business. It's almost as if that belongs to some business that you are promoting, and then your listing starts under that.
I think a fully incorporated template with that branding would give far more continuity and would flow far better in promoting a very effective listing.
I had a look at some other competitors and was interested to see that there are a few there that specialize, for example one was doing kids banners, and was getting sales.
Might well be worth giving a diverse range of design ideas to cover a multitude of demographics, that could increase interest.
All in all it seems like an interesting product range, and one that has some serious potential if you can tie it all together.
