10 Tips To Boost Your Ebay Sales

Writen by John Singelman

1. Use Descriptive Key Words In Your Title - Most bidders use the search function to find items, so you want to make it easy for these bidders to find your auction. Don't waste your title space with words like WOW, MUST SEE, HOT, and MUST HAVE.

2. Use Detailed Descriptions – Use clear and accurate descriptions. Give the bidder as much information as you can. If the item has a flaw, be sure to mention it in your description. If the item looks new be sure to mention that too.

3. Check Out The Competition – Do a search for items similar to yours. You can learn a lot from your competition, such as price, keywords, and descriptions.

4. Always Include A Picture - People want to see things before they buy them. Make sure that the picture is clear and of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo.

5. Offer More Payment Options – Offer Check, Money Orders, Pay Pal, Credit Cards. This will make it easier for bidders to buy your item. A wider variety of payment options will make your item available to more bidders.

6. Create Your About Me Page – An "About Me" age is a Free Web page eBay gives you to promote yourself and your auctions. Include your shipping information, contact information, plus, you can also add links to your auctions and you can list your positive feedback. This means that any potential buyers can see what you sell and what others think about you, all on the same page. You can also place a link to your website if you have one.

7. Low Starting Bid - If you have a good item that you know will sell well, then start the bid price low. Low starting bids attract more bidders.

8. Add NR To Your Titles - Put 'NR' (no reserve) on the end of your title. Bidders prefer auctions that don't have a reserve price, and doing this will increase your bids.

9. Email Signature – Promote your eBay or Online Business every time you send an email. Setup your email so it automatically adds your contact information. You should include your name, your business name, address, phone, fax, and your web site URL if you have one. If you don't have a website, then link to your eBay "About Me" page.

10. Offer 100% money back guarantee – You have to build up trust with your potential customer since they don't know you. Offering a money back guarantee will always increase your sales.
