Before I begin I want you to be aware that, some tips included
in this course may not meet eBays terms of service. I have done
my best to keep up with the changes but it's nearly impossible for
me to be 100% sure that everything falls into the guidelines especially
when people interpret certain things in different ways.
Remember, you should always read the
terms of service with any website before trying something new, especially
on a site like ebay.
Dear Friend, people just like you are making a lot of money on ebay.
Of course only about 5% of those sellers are making ebay their main
source of income. Why? Mainly because they don't know where to get
their products from.In part one I'll show you some basics that you
need to follow when listing an item to have a successful auction.Using
the following techniques to list your auction will increase your
sales ratio.
Choosing a Category?
eBay has over 3,500,000 items for sale in over 3,000 categories
now and receives over 1.5 billion page views a month!It won't take
you very long to get confused and have no idea where to list your
item. RELAX!First,
start browsing the categories that your item relates to. Go into
one of the sub-categories, find something similar to what you have
to sell, find it with a few bids, view the auction, click on view
seller's other auctions. This will list the sellers auctions and
if they are selling multiple items of the same thing in many different
categories then you can determine which category is the
best for your auction based on how many bids the item has received.You
may have to do this in a few different categories to find out which
category is the best to list in. Remember, just because someone
is selling the same thing you have to sell in the same category
doesn't mean you can't sell yours. As long as your price is competitive
more people will see your offer because they will compare yours
to the others, and if you have a good offer then you are golden!
Triple your Auction Views
The most important part of the ad is the Auction Title. If the
auction title does not grab the buyer's attention while they are
skimming the page your ad will never be read and that is one less
potential buyer.ALWAYS
use Caps in your title. The use of asterisks or other strange characters
work well at the beginning of the title because it will draw the
buyer's eyes to your title.Be Specific. Your title should include
what you are actually selling. Say you are selling an "elvis
record" your title should be
something like "ONE-OF-A-KIND,
SPECTACULAR ELVIS LP". It is very important
that you include "ELVIS" in the title because 50% of the
people will be searching for what they want which means if they
want something to do with elvis
and you didn't include it in your title, you lose out! So called
power words should be used in your title. Power words are descriptive
nouns. Words like RARE, LIMITED, UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING,
SHOCKING will also help.The title should make the item
sound special and intrigue people to look, if it does, your views
will triple, if it doesn't your auction will fail.* Secret! Note
is that if you use underscores between words you can write a longer
title.
Item Descriptions That Sell!
Again, there are a few basic techniques that you should use that
will increase the chance of a buyer bidding on your item.Again,
be specific. Explain what the item is, what it does, how it will
help or amaze the potential buyer, answer as many questions as you
can think they would ask in your description!Use pictures, ALWAYS.
Always use a picture, no matter what you are auctioning you need
a picture. If you are selling software, put a picture of the box
on the auction page, if you are selling lighters, put a picture
on the auction page.Pictures can increase response rates over 300%.
You need pictures of your items!Be sure to include "view my
other auctions" in EVERY
description, f-r-e-e advertising for your items is not a bad thing!Always
list the methods of payments you accept. Make it as easy as possible
for people to buy it once the auction ends. If you have an html
editor you should use it to create your descriptions. It makes it
10 times easier and your descriptions will look 10 times more professional!
