How do you make more money on eBay with your current and/or
future listings? That's the question that is demanding an
answer.
Making money on eBay and selling products through auctions is
much like owning your own brick and mortar store. For example,
when people come to a store, the most important aspect to
selling anything is in the way it's presented.
Big companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to have
people build presentable displays of products so they sell. It's
call merchandising.
That's the answer to making more money on eBay. Merchandising.
Or, in eBay auction terms, writing your product listing. Here's
five high profit ways you can write better listings.
1. HTML it!
Take some time to learn some basic HTML, or the language the web
uses to display websites.
Using HTML you can easily create a very nice looking "display"
of your product and build a brand for yourself. By keeping the
same look in all your listings people will feel comfortable with
your position as a seller and theirs as the buyer.
HTML allows you the opportunity to make your listing stand out
and be more professional. Use the HTML editor on the product
listing page to make it much easier, even if you don't know a
lot HTML.
2. Don't Scream At People.
One of the biggest mistakes people with their eBay listing is
the use of all capital letters in the title. IT'S VERY ANNOYING!
Using capital letters is a means of expressing surprise, anger,
sadness, discouragement, and other sorts of unhappy emotions.
Not a great way to instill an emotional response to buy.
Now, notice I didn't say don't use any caps in your title. Just
not all caps. A title is just that... a title. Think of a book
title or movie title. Capitalize the first letter of each word.
3. Your eBay listing must be clear.
When presenting a listing for your product you must make it
absolutely clear what you are selling. Concise descriptions as
well as crystal clear pictures will keep your prospective
customer interested in the product. If they are unsure about
anything, at any time... you will probably lose them to your
competitor.
4. True Powersellers go a step further.
It's not enough to make the product listing very clear, but also
your terms and conditions. This means your shipping policy and
costs, return policy, any warranties that you, or the company,
offer, and any guarantees associated with the product.
This goes the extra mile into creating a comfortable atmosphere
where the person reading your listing will be more inclined to
buy from you.
5. Follow a listing schedule.
Before you ever place the listing ask yourself a question, "Is
this the best time to sell it?" Even the best, most thought out
listing, will fail if the time isn't right.
Create a listing schedule that clearly lists the starting and
ending dates of your auction. This will ensure that, if you're
selling holiday products or seasonal products, the buyer will
receive them on time.
Your listing is a part of your business. This is where you begin
to build a long lasting relationship, one of comfort and
recognition, that continues for long lasting income.
