Answer 1

Ever notice while searching through eBay that while there may be many exact items for sale, often only a few of them will get the heated auctioning that you are looking for?

There are a number of reasons why this may happen, including:

    * Ad quality

    * Title Quality

    * When the item was added

    * Quality of Pictures

    * Poor Feedbacks

All of these can have an effect on the final auction bid, with a few tips, a little practice, and some trial and error you will be able to increase this number and of course your profits. In future posts I will write about ways you can improve each of the points in the above list. First lets start with ad quality.

While it might be tempting to spend 5 minutes writing a quick ad and uploading a picture, this is seldom in your best interest. Before sending in an ad you should always, proofread, let the ad sit on your desk while you take a break, reread, let someone else read it to make sure it is clear to them, reread, edit out unneeded words, reread…….

You are probably getting my point. Good ads take time! But they also increase your bottom dollar so are worth the time.

First the obvious, emphasize the positive points of your item. This doesn’t mean exaggerate, just make sure the person knows why they want this particular item. Include key features and features that make this better than other similar items. Add one or more pictures of the item; make sure they are flattering pictures. Give a precise description of the item.

Include any negative points of the item. If it has a scratch or ding in it let them know. Hiding this will only get you a bad feedback, which will hamper any future sales. Honesty in this regard will also increase the potential buyers confidence in you and the produce.

Use the HTML editor provided by eBay. Why put up a boring ad with all the same color, size, emphasis, etc. of text when you can spice it up. eBay accepts a wide variety of HTML mark up, us it to your best advantage. If you don’t know how, you can purchase a cheap HTML pocket guide from a bookstore. Within minutes you can have a greatly improved ad that will get peoples attention. I will post some of the main HTML tags to use in future posts.

Finally, write ad copy that will attract a buyer. There are many ways you can improve your ads by avoiding certain words, capitalizing on others and breaking up the text. You will find a good checklist of ways to improve your ad copy at this site.

Be honest and fully describe your product.  Send items off quickly, well package the items.  This will get you positive feedback which will in turn get people to buy from u.  Always pay for a gallery photo to go with your item so people can see it.  Sometimes worth putting more than 1 photo with the item, although this costs u more.  Answer questions honestly if people ask them.
