Checklist

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:27:28 +0000

you’re done! I hope you enjoyed selling your first item. Now that you’re starting to get into it, the next email will give you a checklist of things you need to do to be a successful seller.

Step 5: Collect payment and post it

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:26:33 +0000

eBay will send your buyer emails guiding them

through the process of sending you payment for the

item. Make sure you have the money before you

send anything.

Step 4: Wait for it to sell

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:25:19 +0000

This is just a matter of sitting back and letting eBay do its thing – buyers will find your item and leave bids on it. Some bidders might email you with questions about the item, and you should do your best to answer these questions as quickly as you can. Remember that if your item doesn’t sell then you can list it again for free.

Payment Methods

Finally,

tick the payment methods you will accept (just

PayPal is best for now), and where you will post

to (limit yourself to your own country to begin

with). Submit and you’re done!

Longer Sales

The next thing to set is the duration of the auction: 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. This is up to you: longer sales will usually get more bids, but will also seem to drag on forever. If you’ve taken a picture, add it now – items with pictures always sell for more.

Never Finish

Now set a starting price. $0.01 is the best

starting price, as it draws people in to bid who

otherwise wouldn’t, and items will almost never

finish at such a low price.

Step 3: Submit your item

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 06:20:24 +0000

Click ‘Sell’, and you’re on your way to listing your item. The first thing you need to do is choose a category – it’s best to just type in what the item is and let eBay choose for you. Next, write a title and description. Include key words you think people will search for in the title box, and all the information you have about the item in the description box.

Step 2: Decide what to sell

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:19:04 +0000

For your first little experiment with eBay, it

doesn’t really matter what you sell. Take a look

around the room you’re in – I’m sure there’s

something in there that you’re not all that

attached to and could put in the post. Small books

and CDs are ideal first items.

Register Link

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:17:48 +0000

If you’ve never used eBay before, then you’ll need to open an account first using the ‘register’ link underneath the toolbar, and then click ‘Sell’ and ‘Create a seller’s account’. The eBay site will then guide you through the process. For security, this may involve giving card details and bank information.

Step 1: Open an eBay seller’s account

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:16:53 +0000

If you’ve bought things on eBay, then you already have an account – just log in with it and click ‘Sell’ in the toolbar at the top of the page, then click ‘Create a seller’s account’.
