A Note to eBay Sellers.....



Dear Mr/Ms eBay Seller....

I WOULD'VE bought the product on your eBay auction, if only you would have thought to.....


Take Pictures! GOOD Pictures!

Using Pictures for Your eBay Auction 

Are eBay Auction Pictures Important?

eBay Pictures Sell Better Than Your Words Do

NOTHING will stop me from clicking on an eBay auction more than a listing without a picture.

Nothing.

No Picture, No Click Thru.

No image means the seller doesn't even care if it sells... the seller has no pride in the product... or, worse yet, there is something about the product to hide.

Not interested. Next!

Take a GOOD picture... make it interesting to someone who is looking for that type of product. Make sure the image is clear and IS what you are offering.

For the record, I don't like images that are copied from the company product page and used as a default image.

I want an actual picture of what you want me to actually BUY.

If you're going to have an eBay business... or ANY business .. invest in yourself. Get a good digital camera that you can learn how to use...and take good pictures for your eBay listings.

The price of a digital camera will be nothing compared to the change in your eBay selling profits.

Besides, you can probably find a cheap digital camera on eBay :::wink wink:::

 




Wake Up and Answer Your Email! Asleep at the Auction?!?!? No Sale For You!!!

eBay Sellers... Please Answer Your Email Questions 

When It Comes to an eBay Seller's email... It's NOT Better Late Than Never!

Do you know how many eBay sales may be lost due to the seller simply not answering questions about their products?

I email eBay sellers... I ask questions. If you've got me to where I am willing to email you and ask you a question about a product you have up for auction - I am about 3 seconds away from buying your product.

I have clicked your auction, I have probably read your auction details at least three times...and then read it again to make sure I didn't miss the answer to my question.

If your answer is the answer I am looking for, I will buy your product

However, do you know that I have actually had eBay product questions go UNanswered?!?! I've even had eBay sellers finally answer my questions after the auction was OVER!!

Can you say, "MISSED SALE"???

Answer your email..

An email from a potential eBay buyer means you are most likely within inches of a sale.

The Best eBay Auction I Ever Won 

I will Buy From Her FOREVER!

An eBay Seller I Will Always Remember... and Always BUY FROM

I'm a golfer. I live in Atlanta. It is HOT in the summertime. I'm also fashionably thin (ok, I'm scrawny) and I wear an XS ladies shirt.

I like to wear sleeveless golf shirts when I golf, but because I wear an odd size, and because I refuse to pay $40 or more for a golf shirt, I browse eBay for good deals.

I came across a lot of 5 XS ladies golf shirts that no one was paying attention to. No bids... the auction was about to end... so I quickly put my bid in and won the lot for a grand total of 99 cents (plus about $6 shipping).

What a DEAL!!!

Know what the BEST part of winning that eBay auction was?

When the package arrived.

A big white box with my name on it was brought to me by my friendly mail-carrier. When I opened it, I felt like it was my birthday!

Receiving that eBay product was like someone sending me a present instead of me getting a product I ordered. Know why?

Inside the box, each shirt was hand-wrapped in bright, colorful tissue paper. It was beautiful!

That package was the most fun to open! I completely forgot that I only paid 99 cents for all those shirts...and it was obvious that the seller took serious pride in her eBay business... even for a customer who only spent 99 cents!

Needless to say, that eBay seller is on my favorites list FOREVER!

Give Me Details!!! Successful eBay Sellers Give Specific, UpClose Details!

Gonna Sell on eBay? Details, Details, Details! 

No Details - No Sales

eBay Sellers - There is No Such Thing as TMI*
TMI- Too Much Information

Again, I'll go back to the example of me trying to find golf clothes for fashionable thin ::cough cough:: women.

This time I was looking for those cute little golf skirts. You know, look like a skirt, but there are shorts underneath? I love those! Besides, we scrawny girls can pull them off better than we can shorts these days. Shorts in my size tend to be in junior sizes and they uhhhhhh... well, they uhhhh... they tend to show off my 'better side'.

Anyway... I found a cute, cute, CUTE little golf skirt/skort. I fell in love with it. Why did I get so attached?

The seller had a ton of pictures of all different angles... even a picture of the tag inside the skirt! She also mentioned in her listing that the skirt had a little flaw....

Uh-oh! A flaw on MY golf skirt?

The skirt has a part of the stitching at the hem that is not perfect.

She took a very clear picture of the imperfection and posted it, right there on her eBay auction.

It was nothing... probably totally un-noticable! Wow, talk about disclosure!

I bought the skirt. My $4 golf skirt IS perfect to me....

Oh, and that "flaw"... it IS totally un-noticable!

eBay sellers... watch your details. Let your potential customers know everything about your product. Give them images to help them 'bond' with the product...and before long...

It will be THEIR product.

SOLD!

I Want to Learn HOW to Sell on eBay 

Can You Really Make Money As An eBay Seller?
Ohhhhh Yes You Can!

I bet you've heard that having your own eBay business can be quite profitable, haven't you? I'll be honest, I don't sell on eBay, but I know enough about the eBay business world to know that having this type of home-based business is great - but only for those that learn the proper way to sell on eBay.

In todays economy, I also have to add that having your own eBay business is one of the very best recession proof jobs you can choose that allows you to work at home and be your own boss!

Just think of the gas money you'd save!

Did you know that there are over 800,000 people earning their living from eBay and other auction sites? Can you believe it??!

There are many people earning a great living on eBay, and many aren't even doing it right! Just goes to show how much room there is in the eBay business world...and how well one can do if they actually LEARN the proper way!

If you are interested in earning a living from eBay and other online auction sites, I'll refer you to a site that many eBay sellers swear will make you ten times as likely to succeed. Heck, one lady was an eBay seller for two years before she found this reference site - and after following the training she increased her sales by like 200% !!

This is supposedly a really good eBay business training system that has helped a lot of folks learn how to sell on eBay. Take a look, see if it's for you. Makes sense to me to go forward with qualified training... eBay has gotten SO competitive.

Just don't forget, if you're gonna have a business...any business... learn to do it the right way.

I Want to Know WHAT Sells on eBay 

What Sells GREAT on eBay?

Ahhhhh...the BIG question! THE question every successful eBay seller looks into... and finds the answer to.

Just about anything sells on eBay at one point or another.

BUT -

There are products that sell better - MUCH better.... and there are products that people want to buy and can't find (or can't find enough of).

These products are like the magic pixie dust that is sprinkled on the REAL money-making eBay sellers!

What are those magical products? Which products create HOT eBay listings?

There is one eBay seller tool that can keep you on top of that. eBay Powerseller friends of mine have said this eBay tool is the BEST to find untapped markets in the eBay marketplace.

High demand, low supply... Cha-Ching!



Keep your finger on the pulse of eBay, and on top of the auction business, with this (yeah, go ahead and click it...it doesn't hurt to look, right?)

You make some great points. The first thing people see is the photo, so make it good! I know a lot of times I search for deals using that method -- meaning I look purposely for bad photos, knowing the bids will be low on those. Bad for the seller, potentially good for the buyer. This would make a great addition to the ebay education group. I hope you can add it!. http://www.squidoo.com/groups/ebayeducation
