Smart Tips For Enticing eBay Sales Figures

Every seller on eBay wants to multiply his profits and attain the highest sales figures. When you have a dynamic platform like eBay, your products are viewed by millions of users worldwide. eBay gives you an exposure like no other auction site does and you need to make the most out of this opportunity.

As a regular seller on eBay, you are aware how important customer interest is for the success of your business and it’s therefore necessary to understand what clicks with your customers. Your listings must have that X factor to stand out from the crowd. I can suggest a few tips that I feel can help you carve your niche in the eBay business world and simultaneously achieve enticing sales figures.

To begin with, create a captivating title that can grab the attention of your buyers. Remember, the title is the first thing that a buyer sees and can be easily bored if its vague or insipid.

Add a high quality image to your product listings, as mere product descriptions can sometimes be misleading. Images are particularly required if you are selling items such as apparels, gift articles, or jewelry.

When it comes to writing product description, be as creative as possible. The description must be so good that a prospective buyer can virtually paint a picture in his mind about how the product is and how it can help him. Also add how your product can also be a perfect gift for someone you love and on what occasion you can gift it. For instance, a beautiful diamond studded bracelet would be perfect to delight your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day! And don’t forget to mention the shipping and handling fees involved to avoid misunderstandings at the time of payment.

Start your auction with a low minimum bid in order to make your deal a “hard to resist” one. After all, most bidders visit eBay in pursuit of exciting deals that only eBay can offer!

While auctions can be placed for a period of one to seven days on eBay, you have the option of stretching this limit to ten days against a small fee. Choosing a greater time frame for your auctions increases the chances of a greater number of prospective buyers viewing your products.

With eBay, you have access to worldwide buyers and the overseas market has a high profit potential. So be prepared to ship your merchandise across the world to accommodate international buyers as well. Worldwide shipments mean greater exposure, more buyers, a better deal and subsequently higher profits…

Well, now that you have understood what it takes to be a successful eBay seller, let me tell you one last thing that can make or break your reputation in the eBay market. It’s feedback! In order to get positive feedbacks from your customers, be sensitive to their needs, back up your sale with a good customer service, and of course give a positive rating to your buyers if possible.
