Listed 10 items last week and getting lots of views but no sales yet. Is this normal? How long did it take you to make your first sale? Any tips for a complete beginner?

Totally normal! My first sale took about 2 weeks. Focus on your photos and pricing. Check what similar items sold for and price competitively. Also make sure your listings are in the right categories.

Patience is key in the beginning. Also try sharing your listings to local buy/sell groups - that expanded my reach significantly. Some groups have way more engaged buyers than general Marketplace.
