10 Hot eBay Tips
Author: PC Magazine

Think of eBay as the ultimate return policy. No matter where or when you bought an item (or from which crazy relative you received it as a gift), you can turn around and sell it, sometimes for more than what you paid. The eBay marketplace is no longer a phenomenon; it's a hobby, a livelihood, and even a way of life for millions of addicts around the globe. But no matter how much you sell on eBay, odds are you're missing a few opportunities to maximize your bottom line. Here are some tips that can help.

Look before you list. The most effective way to get the most money is to know your market. Before you list your item, perform a quick, title-only search on eBay for items similar to yours. Then, click on Completed items (under the Display heading) and sort the results by price (highest-priced first). Keep in mind that any given item on eBay is worth only what others are willing to pay for it, so ignore any listings that never received bids. Scrutinize the most successful sales and see how the sellers have described and promoted their items in order to earn top dollar.

Price to sell. When you're ready to list, set your Buy-It-Now price in the neighborhood of what you expect your item is worth; raise it a little for particularly in-demand or scarce objects, or take a few dollars off if you want to move your merchandise fast. Set the starting price (the opening bid) much lower, though, anywhere from a single dollar to no more than half your item's value; this will encourage healthy bidding, thus raising the perceived value and the final price. If you've done your research, you won't have to worry about your item selling for too little.

EBay Selling - Google Base and others may be the new competitors to eBay

It seems that google is getting it hands in most online cookie jars these days, or what do you think about this?

"Google Base is in development by Google at this time. It is relatively new service that Google has added at this time. Google is starting to put together a payment system similar to eBay’s Paypal. There are a few different ways to sell your stuff online and eBay may be just another one of those options.

At this time Google Base is free to list your items for sale. There is a goal to have a link from a Google Ad to link to the Google Base and if the sale is completed there will be a commission paid to Google.

The cost for marketing with Google is planned to undercut the eBay listing fees and final fees. If you are not using the complete service I believe it could still be free. While there are other auction sites out there like, Yahoo Auctions and Overstock.com Google has a good chance of getting people to use the service because the service at this time is free."

Chances are that once you master these eBay selling tips, you are on your way to becoming an eBay PowerSeller.

1. A picture IS worth 1000 words - For successful eBay selling, make sure any products you list on eBay are accompanied by professional quality photographs. This plainly means that a photo of the products you are selling on eBay is the key to having bidders and buyers. Sure, you also need to write a thorough and detailed product description but that's not enough. Photos are tangible evidence that there is a product and you, as its seller can be trusted. It’s old-fashioned, really but people dolike to see things before they buy them. Usually, they even base their decisions depending on the picture they saw.

2. Do your eBay research - when you are getting into eBay selling, it is important to spend some time researching before you list a particular product. Research on products that are similar to those items you plan to sell. Follow up the bidding rates staked on them and the starting price set. Researching also informs you what particular items in eBay selling business have high demand.

The information you have unearthed through research will help you gauge the interest for your product and help you determine how much your products might be worth.

3. Learn all about shipping - once you enter into the eBay selling scene, shipping is one of the major issues you need to know about. Shipping issues in the eBay selling business are directly under the control of the eBay seller. There are some methods of shipping which are relatively better than others when you're into eBay selling. You need to find the best method of shipping for your product in terms of expense and reliability. Once you come up with the best shipping method, specify that in your eBay productlisting. Of course, don't forget to include the shipping cost as part of the overall shipping information. This information is directed for potential buyers.

4. Pay as much attention to the writing of your eBay product listing as you do to your item's pictures - in eBay selling, you need a powerful eBay product listing. The trick involved is to write strong eBay listing that combine search engine friendly keywords and phrases. Manage to put concrete and thorough details about the product in a way that will entice people to bid on your product. Be honest, though. Indicate exactly what are the products' strenghts and weaknesses. Be truthful if there are damages on the item already. This is a way of building trust in eBay selling. Take the time to craft your eBay listing.

5. Offer a full slate of payment options, including credit cards - in eBay selling, the more payment options you offer to prospective bidders, the more bidders your product will attract. Once you get plenty of bidders placing a bid on your products, you will know that your eBay selling venture is successful.

6. Focus on getting positive feedback first - Feedback really matters in the eBay selling business. Having a consistent record of positive feedback will likely bring you more prospective buyers and more bidders who will make it a habit to always look up and bid on your products and be willing to pay higher prices.

Better to hold back on placing high-priced products until you have established a successful track record as an eBay seller.

7. Be business-like - When you get into eBay selling, treat your being an eBay seller seriously. Act professionally and endeavor to always provide the kind of superior customer service that will build your reputation.

Make sure that you are following all the business rules that apply, such as registering your business and properly charging and remitting taxes. eBay selling is just like any other business, to become a success in it follow all the rules. Seek to get customer satisfaction in every transaction you do. This will translate itself into increased eBay sales - handsome profits for you!
