Hi @cartercar35 
Do the work do the research https://community.shopify.com/c/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=no%20sales
Cliche, what your asking is vague enough to boil down to: “how buy traffic” or “how make money”.
So most every answer will be vague, glossy busy work , or a pitch.
The faster you recognize why your question is vague and why that’s a problem the better off you might be.
Do the work with time , or hire someone to do the work with money, to start this very very steep climb.
To do the work get self-awareness as fast as possible by learning from all the mistakes to be found in one of the mass graveyards of this cliché.

Failure to just go and read just means another one for the pile.

If you advertised externally to get ebay traffic all that experience should be mostly transferable.
There’s nothing overly magic in online marketing just because your using shopify.
If you’ve never done your any online marketing the climb just got steeper.
Go take some beginner courses https://www.shopifyacademy.com/ , keeping a a healthy dose of salt in mind that shopify’s interest is keeping you on the platform not guaranteeing anything or guiding you to success.
Great question, @cartercar35

amazon and ebay already have traffic so you’re leveraging their traffic and giving them commission.
with a shopify site you have to find your customers. you will need to create youtube videos, run ads, run a social media account, reach out, make giveaways and tell customers you exist.
