Selling problems
 

I and some other guy sell the same thing. My item costs several pounds less. He offers "collect at Argos", I don't, because I am from outside UK, so my item delivers in 1 week instead of 1 day. I have more feedback than him, better photos. He is Top Rated, I am not. Our listings stay one next to other in search results. He gets 10x more orders than me. What can be the issue?

Delivery will be the issue is my guess, your item is from a different country and takes 1 week to reach someone, he's probably using RM, which takes 1-2 days. And also the added bonus of collection at argos gives him an advantage.

I think so too. Everyone want to get item ASAP, not to wait for postage... If you price would me much more lower then there would be more clients who willing to wait..
but everyone needs profit...

When the economy was down everything seemed to be about the lowest price possible but what you will find now is that people are willing to pay that bit more for quicker delivery and specifically UK delivery. Find a way of getting a bulk load of your stock to the country you're selling into for quicker delivery and you might find your sales improve. There are plenty of solutions out there but it's just a case of finding one that suits your style of working.

will just be delivery, if yours is a few quid less u can afford to use a fulfillment company here and match the price instead
