Some of these eBay hints will save you funds
, 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 name
if applicable.
4. Write a detailed description that allows prospective bidders to generate a decision about purchasing the product. A basic tip is the description might
never be too long as long as it is describing the product.
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 funds
, and, more importantly, be able to make use of
as many pictures as you need to adequately show eBay bidders your product. 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 make use of
the highest resolution settings on their cameras and build huge files that download very slowly. Computer monitors only show 72DPI, any excess detail is just a waste of the bidders measure
.
8. List your item in the most appropriate category. Many buyers 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 product might
end up selling for less than its value.
9. Systemize your eBay selling. Using a system to sell on eBay will lower the amount of time spent selling each merchandise
, and insure you dont lose your memory
any important activities.
