5 Ways Keep Communication DSR at 5 Stars

1: Describe your item in great detail, remember this is a resume for your item, make it shine!

2: Always use item specifics and product details.

3: Fill out your policies and shipping profiles.  This is what eBay uses to automate answers to buyers.

4: Respond to ALL buyer emails within 24 hours. Keep it professional and friendly.  Turn off the caps, you don't need to yell, lol.  Always sign with a TY or Thx or your Name, this makes it less sterile.

5: Be the bigger person, you have the power to turn around a bad transaction by a great attitude and a calm explanation.


Remember to create a FAQs page in your eBay store too.  This will help answer some of those frequently asked questions that buyer have.

Happy Selling!

eBay Forces Seller To List A Brand

Clothing, Shoes & Accessories: As of July 20, item specifics for Brand, Style, Color, Size Type and Size will be required for all new and revised listings in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories categories.

Anyone else think this is asinine?  So much for protecting your inventory suppliers - now your competition can steal it even easier!  What about vintage items?  Custom or hand-made items listed in the regular category?

I love people who make up rules without any idea how in impacts thousands of people's income!

Spring is the time....to buy cheap and sell high!

So here's an example for you...funny but i just saw this at a Garage Sale last weekend for $4...the guy would have prob. went down to $3 if i had bought it.  Playboy bunny Wilton cake pan...he told me his wife used it once for a shower for a friend - like brand new condition.

i was at Michael's and i knew these cost some $ but wasn't quite sure how much.   I passed on this for $3-$4 just do to lack or knowledge or confidence that this would even sell on eBay.

THEN i came home and researched it on Terapeak...i saw a 83% sell through rate and average price of $23.  So when you do that math...if Ebay/Paypal takes 20% of a $23 sale...that leaves you with a profit of $18.40...minus $3 for the item at a Garage sale...profit of over $15. 

Ok, so if you find 20 items per week to sell at a profit of $15 each you end up with $300 per week of extra money :)

This is very doable...esp. with the summer coming up when people are clearing out things, selling, downsizing, etc.

Terapeak is a great tool for researching item selling prices and much more - for less than $10 a month is very worth it, plus now you can download the APP for the IPhone and research anytime, anywhere!

HAPPY SELLING!

eBay on Location in Vegas Baby!

I have to say I was impressed with the last EOL I attended.  There was great energy from eBay staff and sellers alike.  The networking alone made it worthwhile however the main stage talks were also a highlight for what's coming next in eBay selling.

Food, Drinks, Goodie Bags and learning new tricks and skills  - it's all a must go!

Don’t miss out on the seller event of the season! eBay: on Location is coming to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, April 13-14.
