Profit though other peoples eBay errors.
There are many issues that influence how an eBay auction ends.
Timing, Description, Title, Photos, the list could go on and on.
However, one tiny error will be the deciding factor on what the
final price is & whether your auction ends successfully or not.
It's an error I've made many times and much greater sellers than
I make on a daily basis. It doesn't matter whether your new to
eBay or an established power seller, almost everyone at some
point will make this fundamental mistake.
Firstly what you need to release is how eBayers use the site.
Upto 70% of users type in the item they are looking for directly
into the search facility. Now eBays search facility only check
the words you enter against the title of listings - not the
description or sub-title.
Therefore to get the right exposure for your item you have to
get the correct words into the title. By not entering the
correct combination of relevant words, you will be missing out
on potential bidders. That's why I always recommend using
services such as eBay pulse (www.pulse.ebay.co.uk) & Keyword Pro
(trading-web-solutions.com/keywords/) before you submit your
listing.
Put simply if you have keywords that are searched for, your item
will appear more than competiting & similar items. It's not
rocket science.
And this brings me to the biggest mistake & most costly mistake
that we make on eBay. If you get every other aspect of your
listing right and get this wrong, your just throwing away your
listing fee and wasting your own time.
By making a simple spelling mistake in your title, almost no one
is going to see your item. Entering Playstatoin instead of
Playstation, Montior instead of Monitor your item is NOT going
to get found because the vast majority of users are not going to
search for Playstatoin or Montior.
But it's something that keeps happening with thousands of items
on a daily basis. And this is where you can profit from it. By
deliberately searching for incorrectly spelt words you will
uncover items with almost no interest allowing you to grab
yourself a bargain at next to nothing.
Regardless of what kind of item your looking for, there are so
many listings on eBay it won't be long before you find an item
with a spelling mistake in it's title. And it's now made even
easier though two services that search directly for misspelt
words on eBay.
FatFingers.com & Auctionintelligence.com will search there way
though various eBay sites looking for these listings. Just type
in what your after & away it flies, trying every combination of
spelling mistake. Using these two services you'll be able to
grab yourself a bargain or even buy stuff just to relist it
correctly & make yourself huge profits. Good luck & let me know
how you get on.
