I had a great Friday night in sales. After shipping, PayPal and eBay fees I made over $175 in profit. While I usually do Buy It Now on eBay, it does provide some unpredictability when expecting to ship items. My main channel of selling items is through eBay. Here’s how I list my items on eBay
Some Tips at How I List Items on eBay
Tips for listing on eBay
- Buy It Now. When you know the value of your product, or the price at which your comfortable to let it sell for. This option provides some unpredictability when you’re expecting to sell stuff, but does allow multiple items to be listing and relisting is automatic if you set the timing to “Good until cancelled”.
- Auctions. Rarely do I use auctions anymore as you have to continuously relist items when they do not sell. Plus you use up all your free listings on this option.
- I never list the starting price at $0.99. I start the auctions at a price I’m willing to let them go for even if I only get one bid. I also research prices that that item is currently listed for on eBay and try to list below the lowest listed.
- Shipping. I have the best success when I list items with Free Shipping. I feel buyers are attracted to auctions where shipping is free. Sometimes I will add shipping when I’m not as concerned with an item selling, so if its sells even better.
- Returns. I also accept returns. I feel that no matter what you select (no returns, 14 day returns or 30), eBay will always force the seller to accept a return no matter what. So accept the return and resell it. 90% of the time my returned item sells very quickly.
