101 Ebay Tips

74. Item(s) Use

Tell the buyers what the original use of your item was. For example, if you are selling lawn and garden items, you should express that you purchased them for your home but then moved to an apartment or whatever the case. This helps confirm to the buyer that the item(s) is fine -the circumstance for its use changed.

75. Accessories

Some people fail to include information about accessories. This is very important since many times people are looking specifically for the accessories/attachments that go along with the item(s). What if you were buying a weed eater but had a bad back? You need one that has a good shoulder strap. If the buyer visits your auction and finds the weed eater, you are selling to be exactly what they are looking for and the price is right but there is no strap, you have lost a sale. Include all accessory/attachment information even if you think it has no value.

76. Personal Website

If you have a website where you have many items or even services that would not sell on eBay, consider promoting your eBay auctions through your personal website. This will help increase the traffic to your site and build up the sales at eBay.

77. Auction Insight

Auction Insight is a great service that you should look at before you list your auction. Auction Insight is a search engine that will go out and review all of the larger online auction sites, looking for your item(s) specified. In return, you will get a list of prices this same item is selling for on the other auction sites.

78. Build Feedback

If you are new to eBay and have no feedback ratings, you should consider purchasing a couple of items yourself to establish a buyer's feedback. Because both the buyer and seller's feedback is rolled into one, building some buyer's feedback for yourself will help show buyers for your merchandise see that you are a good risk.
