More Ebay Selling Tips!

Include A Picture:

A picture is worth a thousand words. Make sure to include them in your listing!!

Learn Simple HTML

It doesn’t hurt to know simple html to improve the look and feel of your listing. Visit htmlgoodies.comfor some tips.

Listing Descriptions:

Make sure to be very detailed in your descriptions. Customers like to know what they are buying. Also, by being detailed with your descriptions, this will decrease the amount of questions/emails sent to you by your customers. Less work is always good.

Delivery Confirmation:

Include free delivery confirmation for your customers in the US. This gives them peace of mind and also it is proof that the product was delivered in case your customer complains they never received the item. I use to purchase postage on paypal.com which offers free delivery confirmation.

Include A Thank You Note:

You should include a thank you note with each purchase with your email address in case they have any comments or questions.

Four Ebay Selling Tips

I was able to average 3-4K a month in sales selling on Ebay.com part time while in college. Here are some tips.

Ebay Selling Tips:

1. Try to end your auction on a Monday or Thursday between 6-9PM. This is when there is high traffic to the site which will increase competition and drive up the price of your item.
2. Use an html template if you can. Make your listing as professional as it
can be.
3. If you are new to Ebay and want to start selling, try to purchase a few items first to build up your feedback score.
4. Be as descriptive as you can with your listing title. Check your competition’s titles.

Success is there waiting for you! Just Jump Already! I started with Ebay.com (PART1)

While I was at college not too long ago, I use to purchase so much stuff on Ebay.com. I mean just random stuff such as a large ionic fan and a pink 50ft Ethernet cable. One day, I realized that if everyone else can make money off of Ebay selling stuff, why can’t I??

Since I was in school for business, I knew about importing, wholesalers, etc. Why not put my 40K (definitely more now) a year college education to use, while I was still in college?

My first stop was alibaba.com and a bunch of other wholesale directories. After browsing through thousands of products, I decided to resell overstock apparel. I then contacted a bunch of suppliers and they gave me a bunch of quotes, payment terms, and lead times.

I reduced the number of suppliers from ten to one. I decided to go with a wholesaler with offices in Pennsylvania because I thought it would be safer than dealing with someone internationally and they also accepted credit cards.

It would cost me $1000 for 100 polo shirts.

I had to think about this for a couple of days. So many things ran through my head like, how about if the items don’t come? What if they don’t sell? What if they are defective?
All these negative thoughts were running through my head that were preventing me from picturing the successful me.
