    There are several things you can do, sometimes the way you word your listings for keywords can make a difference. If people use a different phrase for an item then you tittle your listing for keywords, you will see less visits.

    find a good trending products with little competitor that have good profit margin.
    auction listing with a good timing, have to play with a good ending time as most people start bidding near end of the auction.
    built a cross-selling platform across eBay network.
    If you have more budget, get a store, and spent on good paid research tools.
    Track and monitor your sales through ratio and only focus with the profitable one.

    This person nailed it down pretty much.

    Get your items on "Best Match" search result and expect to see your sales skyrocket.

    Why is that? Most customers either search for the item(s) they want via Category search or type in the search box and takes them to eBay's default "Best Match" filter instead of "Lowest Price + Shipping". Suffice to say, 95% of customers who buy items on eBay are too dumb/lazy to filter "Best Match" to "Lowest Price + Shipping".

    Thank you for the tip. I agree that this is the best method. The question is how do I do this? I did some Google searches and found this eBay web resource for testing listing titles:

    http://labs.ebay.com/erl/demoto/to

    I tried this tool out and I found that it works pretty well.
