Here are our top tips for getting the most money for the stuff you sell:
Have a specific title to draw in customers. For example don't put, "Playstation 2 for sale" change it to, "Playstation 2 with 20 games, bargain starting price £75!" It's important to draw people in with your title so make it catchy.
Choose your category for listing carefully. Ebay users often browse categories so make sure you put your listing in the correct category!
Use a picture. Pictures help sell products sell MUCH better. If you don't have a camera, go and borrow one. Make sure the lighting is right and you have a decent background.
List your details of the products with keywords. Think of the keywords that people will search for to buy your product and use them in your description. Make sure you describe your product well and don't lie about anything.
Work out a minimum buy price. What's the least you want to sell this for? Put this in your listing. Don't bother with reserve prices unless you are selling a massively expensive item.
Make sure your listing ends on a Sunday afternoon. This is when most people can easily access a computer and make last minute bids to pump your price up.
You must accept paypal. Practically everyone on ebay uses paypal to pay. It's easy to use and very practical.
Thank the person who buys your item. This will help to get positive feedback. Essential for your next sale.
Send out your item quickly. People expect things quickly. Try and send the item out the same or next day you get payment.
