79. Escrow Service If you are selling high priced items such as a car, computer or other technology equipment, a home, etc., you might want to consider offering buyers the use of an escrow service. Before the auction closes, you and interested buyers would need to set up an agreement as to how the item will be paid for and any other detailed information. 80. Delivery Confirmation Unfortunately, some buyers will try to say they paid for an item but never received the auction item(s). When shipping, you should consider using delivery confirmation. This service is generally inexpensive and can end up saving you a ton, especially if the item(s) is higher priced. 81. Online Auction Users Association If you want to establish quick credibility, you can join the Online Auction Users Association, which requires you to agree to a code of ethics and display the membership logo on all of your auctions. This adds yet one more peace of mind to buyers. 82. Featured Articles eBay offers both buyers and sellers featured articles that can be helpful. These articles offer diversity and can guide you through some difficult or discouraging challenges. 83. E-Mail Accounts In addition to your eBay contact and primary e-mail address, you should also consider adding an alternate e-mail address. Just in case something happens to one, you have a backup option for buyers to reach you with a question or problem. The more accessible you are to your buyers, the better. 84. Bid Cancellation If you discover a bogus bidder has bid on your auction, be sure to cancel their bid before the auction ends, which saves you from losing an honest, paying buyer. Some of these bogus buyers will be discovered from your own experiences and others you can research through eBay. 85. Alternate Spellings The "search" option is precise so you need to try breaking words up, creating a better chance for your auction to be found. As an example, if you are selling a lawnmower, list it as "Lawnmower" and "Lawn Mower." Another example would be selling a television. You might list it as "television" and "TV."
