Nine Simple eBay Selling Hints
Some of these eBay hints will save you money, others will
result in higher prices. Either way, these will help you run
more profitable eBay auctions.
1. Write a simple description and do not clutter your auction
with unneeded items like animated Gifs, and colored backgrounds.
Remember, you are selling not entertaining.
2. Charge a flat rate for shipping, and mention the shipping
costs prominently within your auction description.
3. Write a title that accurately describes your item. Use
manufacturers name and model number within the title if
applicable.
4. Write a detailed description that allows prospective bidders
to make a decision about purchasing the item. A basic tip is the
description can never be too long as long as it is describing
the item.
5. Include large clear photographs. Invest in some lights and a
quality camera. Your investment will pay for itself in higher
eBay selling prices within only a few auctions.
6. Host your own pictures. By hosting your own pictures, you
will save money, and, more importantly, be able to use as many
pictures as you need to adequately show eBay bidders your item.
This is the simplest thing to do, and yet 70 percent of eBay
sellers ignore this simple tip.
7. Optimize your images for the web. Many sellers use the
highest resolution settings on their cameras and generate huge
files that download very slowly. Computer monitors only show
72DPI, any extra detail is just a waste of the bidder's time.
8. List your item in the most appropriate category. Many
buyer's only search eBay by looking at listings within
categories. If you are not in the right eBay category you will
not be seen by lots of potential bidders and you item may end up
selling for less than it's worth.
9. Systemize your eBay selling. Using a system to sell on eBay
will lower the amount of time spent selling each item, and
insure you don't forget any important activities.
