Top 10 ebay tips
- No auctions, always use buy now. Your accounts needs a rating of 10+ for this. (see 2.)
- To quickly get a new account up to a 10 rating, buy 10 things off of ebay. Cheap things like DVDs, or get some more toner for your printer. A great thing to buy is £1 donations to charities – no shipping fee and you get really quick feedback off these. One point to remember – you can only get one rating per seller, so make sure you buy of 10 different sellers, not 10 things of one seller.
- Use a selling tool like auctiva (www.auctiva.com). You can then setup templates for the things you are selling – its quick and easy. It is actually free is you aren't listing too many things.
- Use auctiva to upload loads of different images of the print you are selling. So, if you are selling a calendar, have 9+ calendars in different colors, with images of babies, dogs, holidays, graduations, etc. This gives the users more ideas of how they might use the product.
- Keep your listings very clean, simple and concise. So; use just one font, a single style of heading and maybe some bold text, but lots of pictures.
- Think carefully about your product listing, people will search on certain keywords, you need to use them too. So, for example, should it be personalized or bespoke calendar. Use all the text space available to pack in the information. Capitalize your listing – it sticks out more.
- Multi-list. Take the same product, change around your main image and alter the listing text. Remember, normal listing only cost money when you sell.

- Give a great Service. When customers contact you, answer them quickly and do what you say you are going to. If you say that you will email them instructions, then do it. If you are struggling to satisfy a customer (for whatever reason – even if it’s unreasonable), offer them a refund. Getting poor feedback from a customer is a much bigger problem.
- Understand how lists work. Your item will appear in the list if the appropriate category or keyword is searched for – the question is - How far up is it listed? Lists are driven by your prestige, the ‘interest’ in an item, and other things. So to get a higher listing, do these things:
- Get Power/Top seller status (covered in other tip)
- List 999 items for sale when selling. The more something sells the higher up the list it goes. So something that has sold 10 times will appear above something that has not sold.
- List with free Postage and Packing, these get promoted. What we do is list one product at say £5 each plus £3 p&p, then list the same again a £8 with free p&p. You get the best of both worlds then.
- Get Power seller and Top seller status. Nothing gives a customer a warmer feeling than seeing that you are a power seller or Top Seller. You can help yourself along here by selling ‘batches’ of jobs, so don’t sell 100 letterheads, sell 20 packs of 5. This is the difference between selling 20 items or 1. Bronze should be pretty easy for you get, it's only requires feedback of 100 and 300 transactions.
