I know you've been buying alot on eBay for years and surley, your thoughts turn to selling your own items. Yet, you're not quite sure where to start(like most of us). First, you will need to sign up as a seller and provide all the information asked for and a credit card number. Once that is complete, you're ready to begin listing your items. Below, I've outline ten tips that will help make your auctions a success and reap you better profits from your sales.



Well here's a few tips that have helped me make Thousands on Ebay!

A. The title should be authoritative and tell exactly what the item is. Instead of saying Nike Shoe, list specific info such as Nike Shoe, Air Max, late 90's. You are limited to around 80 characters for your title, so be sure to choose it wisely. Avoid words like 'look', 'must see' etc., as most experienced eBay shoppers don't pay attention to them so try not to use them.

B. Pick the section for your listing carefully,with hundreds of different categories to choose from, this can be quite difficult to determine. If you feel your item fits in more than one, feel free to select a second category. More than one category does cost extra fees, so be aware of that as you list to save more.

C. Your picture is worth a thousand words in an auction listing, so all items need at least one picture. Higher priced items need more than one. Use a good quality digital camera or a scanner if the item is flat. Proof your pictures to make sure they are clear and crisp, crop where needed because it makes all the difference!

D. Quickly list all the details of your item in the description box and be sure to point out all flaws in the item. Think of any keywords that you would look for if you were searching for the item and include those in the description. Also list what payments methods you will accept, how long the buyer has to get payment to you and what shipping methods you will use.

E. Finally choose the lowest amount of money you will take for your item and begin the bidding at that amount. Think about using a 'Buy It Now' price if you're willing to let the item go for another few dollars above your opening price. Avoid using 'reserve' auctions as many eBay buyers will skip over them as not worth the time and effort.
