Nine Simple eBay Selling Hints
Copyright © Terry Gibbs
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.
