Am I imagining it or did your original post state that these goods were obtained wholesale by you and a friend, rather than belonging to your 'uncle'?0

Hmmm, a bit of unsuccessful self-promotion, as well as unsuccessful listing then.... spam?0

Then of course the easiest way to deal with it would be to accidentally report it both for being in breach of business registration and also for a choice auctions.

I saw that too!
OP, TK Maxx sell Original Penguin jumpers for about £29.99.0 -
As the others say unless you have a shop in which case you can offer different sizes from one listing you will need to list all sizes separately and mention them in the title, your listing looks remarkably similar to 300522618586 as well even down to the choice of sizes, the wording and the lack of business seller details.
On the brown one I'd loose the first picture and use the third folded one as your main listing picture, it's colour is more consistent, but do something about the background. I would also get rid of any mention of RRP, anyone buying will know how much they are so will already know how much of a bargain your price represents. At least the other seller of the black one is more expensive.0 -
Low feedback and one negative puts me off right away.0

LOL. "BUY NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT" it's a textbook example of a knock-off/scam listing.0

Thanks for the input guys - I'm just starting in EBay really so you're input is much appreciated, I will address the issues stated with urgency to the business and rules related mentions.
Thanks also to the player haters0 -
OP, try looking at how much other items of the same make sold for by searching on the item name then ticking the 'completed listings' box. Note the differences between listings that sold for a lot and those that did not.
Sometimes just testing the water with a starting price of 99p will give you an idea of what people are prepared to pay.
I recently put an unbranded MP3/4 player up at a 99p start (it was part of a joblot that I bought untested as there was a Nano in it). Looked tonight, and it stands at £16. I was expecting a fiver tops so am well pleased.
The Nano sold BIN for close-on £70 as I had looked to see what sort of price they fetched, and pitched mine right in the middle. Sold with 23 hours of being listed as well.Never Knowingly Understood.
