Don’t Get Lost In The Jungle
Called Ebay.com
Can you believe that? I just did a search on Google for
‘ebay secrets’ and I got 3,090,000 (!) results back. Amazing isn’t it?
The search term ‘ebay tips’ resulted in 11,700,000 (!) sites and ‘ebay
help’ even in 53,000,000 (!) web pages and so on and so on. I just cannot
believe how many web pages exist in the internet offering these eBay ‘tips’
or ‘help’. Certainly, there are damn good eBay tutorials out there, but
I think it’s incredibly important for an eBay beginner not to get lost
in the jungle.
How can an eBay beginner select the best possible information
to become a successful seller and not to get lost? Well, it took me virtually
more than 12 month to get through a lot of information ‘how to survive
as a seller on eBay’. I am going to talk about some of the most important
factors for a beginner to focus on.
Factor #1
First, get a good “How-to” instruction. There are a lot
of guides out there but believe me - the ‘No-frills’ versions deliver the
best, since they do not overwhelm people with information. I have studied
a number of ‘eBay helping’ ebooks, but many of them basically have a flood
on information, an eBay beginner can’t put into practice.
Factor #2
Learn some HTML! Well, I don’t mean to study endless
tutorials on programming HTML source codes. No, just get familiar with
some HTML basics: How to modify text and links, add colour and how to add
pictures to your site and so on. You auction listings will be like your
business cards! If they look impressive – you’ll certainly get some good
reputation, feedback and many bids.
Factor #3
Study some books on sales language. You’ll be surprised
how these little things can convert your sales copy dramatically. Learn
from yourself! Study your buying/bidding behaviour. I am almost surprised
every time when I realised what I have just purchased or where I have just
put a bid into.
Factor #4
Learn to make high quality pictures. Buy a digital camera
and start practicing. Without a picture in the eBay gallery, your eBay
business won’t grow. But you have to be careful not to upload item pictures
for your listing which are to big, because people are not patient to wait.
So if it takes more than a couple of seconds to download the picture of
your item your potential customers/bidders will leave immediately. You
have to test and find out what works best.
Factor #5
Don’t be afraid to get started. Try to sell some old
things you don’t need anymore. If you are still not confident selling –
start to buy first. Study the sellers and make notes. You can learn a lot
from other successful sellers. Get familiar with the eBay rules and policy
and online payment system. Get yourself a paypal or stormpay account to
pay for items and to receive money when you have sold your item.
Yes, that’s it. If you follow these simple factors, you
can be sure not to get lost in the jungle called eBay.
