Discover eBay's Top Selling Secrets And Start Making Serious Money Today.
Why is it that so many people know about eBay but so few are able to exploit it to its full potential? I am about to let you into some of the secrets that will put your eBay listings head and shoulders above the rest whether you are thinking about putting up your first item for sale or if you already have a sellers account there are tips here for everyone.
Build a good reputation.
How can I do this if I am just starting out? That's a question I have heard so often, this is where feedback comes in.
Feedback are the comments left by eBay buyers for eBay sellers and vice versa, it is how you can judge an eBay member, if they have good levels of positive feedback then it is a fairly safe bet if you buy from them your experience will be a good one and of course the reverse is a possibility if there is negative feedback.
Feedback is the life blood of eBay, sellers are extremely protective over their feedback ratings.
When you buy or sell anything on eBay always leave feedback.
OK here is how you get your feedback starting from a zero rating.
Open a PayPal account and buy low price items, anything that you will need to enable you to send your own items when you start selling, bubble wrap, envelopes, marker pens anything you need to run your business, payment is prompt from your PayPal account the seller will leave you positive feedback.
You are on your way.
Your eBay profile.
eBay is no different to any other business when it comes to building your profile, you want your customers to trust you as a good person to buy from, you need those customers coming back.
When you are spoken about you want it to be in glowing terms.
One of the great things about eBay is that it provides you with the tools to create a high profile.
Use the about me page this is your opportunity to tell buyers and other sellers about yourself, to get across what a regular person you are, be honest do not try to be something you are not.
Become an expert submit articles to the reviews and guides you can write about anything you like, write with enthusiasm, regularly and be constructive.
Start a blog write about what you know, blogging is a really good way of increasing your profile it doesn't necessarily have to be about what you are selling.
Listings.
I never ceased to be amazed at the number of poorly constructed listings that constantly appear on eBay.
Out of focus photographs, poor grammar and basic spelling mistakes, this automatically separates the serious seller from the amateur.
There really is no excuse for it, it will have a seriously effect on your selling success.
Consider what you are selling if its a piece of pottery or china take a close up photo of any makers or company marks.
Describe in full the item make that potential buyer really want what you are selling.
Find out about the artist that decorated the piece talk about them, bring the piece to life.
If what you are selling is mobile say stunt bikes then why not put a video on your listing, it is a really effective way of showing exactly what you are selling is capable of.
Some of the video services you will have to pay for hosting, but the majority are free.
There is a video service that will host your video that includes features to encourage viewers to buy rather than just look.
