10 Surefire Ways To Kill Your EBay Business

It is surprisingly easy to kill your eBay business if you're not careful - of course, you can start from scratch without it costing you anything, but do you really want? However, if you want your business to end up dead in the water, here are some simple ways to do so.

Lying voice to say that it works well when you do not always work. To say that it is in good condition when it is scratched. Your customers hate you!

Message whenever you want: Be sure to leave your customers hanging, wondering when your item is displayed. This ensures that you bought another next time.

Enter your items at the end: Some people around you interested in the auction if it ends in the middle of the night. Why go to the trouble to work, if the auction will end at a good time?

Do not bother with the e-mail: Customers are just timewasters anyway. eBay business is supposed to go! Never give informed answers to questions on your topic.

Sell ​​Littering: Honestly, it's just on eBay. You can only sell old tat from the market profit of 200%. Let someone else worry about quality - I mean, really, what they expect for this price?

Refuse to grant discounts: You know what items cost, you know what your profit margin will be, and we will not negotiate. Remember that giving customers special feeling good about yourself and return back to you.

Make your list ugly: As many colors, flashing lights and animations can really give those customers a headache. Write everything in CAPS! as you can. Preferably large red capitals. Remember to use the Comic Sans font and impact. A special touch, you can find a way to add music.

Do not take photos: It 'this kind of problem, after all. If buyers are so demanding really want to see the stains before offering them, screw 'em, that what I say.

Write short descriptions: Be as brief as possible and use a lot of mysterious abbreviations. This course makes you look cool. You can simply write the title again in the Description box. Think of the effort you can save!

Use auctions Subject: Now, this is quite controversial final choice, but it is actually one of the best ways to scare your customers. They see a "reserve not yet met", and click on the "back" button before you know it. Fortunately, they can always offer a regular auction item somewhere else.

Now that you know the top ten ways to kill your eBay business, and on the exploration of what to do if you want to do the opposite and make a success of it? The following e-mail will give you ten steps to successfully sell on eBay.

EBay Is The Customer Always Right?

I can answer that question for you right now: the answer is "yes." In fact, the answer is "YES!" - The biggest yes you've never heard of. Of course the customer is always right. If you want to be a successful eBay seller, you should go miles out of the way to ensure every customer is 100% satisfied, but a lot of time or money that could cost you.

A dissatisfied customer will leave negative feedback and negative feedback should be avoided at all costs. This is a piece of negative feedback will always cost you more than he would have to deal with the complaint, regardless of the value of the goods you sell. You should consider a percentage of positive feedback in 100% to be an absolute disaster and a personal failure on your part.

But what if ...

But nothing! There is no situation where you as the seller must enter into a dispute with a buyer. Here are some common situations and how to treat them.

They say the item never arrived: Politely ask the buyer to wait a few more days to see if it appears and then email you again if it has not arrived. If it has not arrived yet, you should assume that he was lost in the post somehow and offer to send a replacement if you have one, or to give them a full refund otherwise. No, I do not care what it costs. Are you serious about selling on eBay or not?

Lot is damaged message: E 'must be provided in its place, or take them back and get his money back without hesitation.


They say that the target does not match the description: Resist the temptation to e-mail to "yes it is, you can not read the description properly". Please return item back and edit your description, if you want to make a clear confusion extra points.

I'm sure you have noticed a trend now. In order to offer a refund almost any problem will disappear, and it will really cost you less in the long term. Remember that a piece of negative feedback to stay with you forever, while having a 100% positive rating is like owning a bar of solid gold.

You should always treat customer complaints', before you complain to eBay - in fact, you should send them to advance to ask if they have any. Through the process of litigation is time consuming, reflects badly on you and is absolutely useless.

Still not convinced? I think this would only work with cheap items? Well, you see, the higher the price of items sold, the more your reputation is worth to you. You sell $ 10,000 in items every week, for example, and a profit of $ 1,000 per week in general. You might think that buying refund of $ 1,000 for a client would be a tragedy to lose, you get your week. It is much better look at it this way: if you do not give a refund, then not only lose the benefits of next week but will probably lose the benefit of a few weeks after that too. Now which option looks better?

Definitely I can not emphasize enough the importance of really believing that the customer is always right. But trying to make excuses for complaints is not the only thing you should avoid. There are many pitfalls to avoid if you do not want to kill your business before it started well - and I will show in the next email what they are.

What Is Your Reputation On EBay Really Worth It?

Your reputation on eBay is all you are on eBay - without it you are nothing. Your reputation is worth as much as every sale you will ever make.

If you've ever bought anything on eBay (and chances are you have), then think about your behavior. Seller buys a low feedback rating makes you feel a little 'nervous and insecure, while buying their reputation eller Powers of thousands does not require any thought or fear - it feels like to buy at the store.

A bad reputation to lose sales.

In fact, a bad reputation to lose almost all their sales. If someone leaves you negative feedback, you will feel the pain immediately, as this note will go straight to the top of your user page for all to see. Who will want to do business with you when you just read that "it took a month to deliver the work," or had "bad communication and sent a damaged item?" The answer is no.

His articles will come very cheap things, just to push that negative page. You may have to spend days or even weeks selling cheap stuff to get enough positive feedback for anyone to cope again.

It 'even worse if you consistently let buyers leave negative feedback - once you get below 90% positive feedback, you might as well be invisible.

You can not just open a new account.

In addition to eBay rules about having only one account, there are many more disadvantages than getting a new account. You literally start from scratch.

You will not be able to use all the features of different eBay. Your existing customers will not be able to find more. Your auction will end at a lower price due to its low number of votes. Open a new account is like moving to a new city to escape some people who spread rumors about you, that is throwing the baby with the bath water.

A good reputation for you in sales.

When Powers eller tells me something, I am inclined to believe him. Item may be sold rather unlikely, but if you provide what they say is, I believe - are not going to risk their reputation, after all. This is the power of reputation: people know that you want to keep, and know that you will go to almost any lengths to do so.

This is true to the point I was going to buy something for $ 20 from a seller I know I can rely on for $ 15 a person with average information. Worth the extra money to feel like the seller knows his stuff, has all its systems in place and I'll point out quickly and efficiently.

You really want to find a seller on eBay so much easier and there is only one way to get a good reputation: make sure you please your customers every time. But some customers can be, well, just a little hard to please. In the next email, we ask: is the eBay customer always right?

An eBay Seller's Checklist

Being a seller is a big responsibility, and sometimes you might feel you do not do anything, you should be. This simple checklist will help you keep track of things.

Did you find out everything I could about objects? Try typing his name into a search engine - you may find something that I did not know. If someone else sells the same thing as you, so always try to provide more information about them.

Are you still competitive? Keep an eye on how much other items the same or similar to yours are selling and at what price you offer. In general, there is little interest in starting an auction at a fixed price of $ 100 when someone is selling the item for $ 90.

Do you have a picture of an object? It is worth taking the time to photograph your items, especially if you have a digital camera. If you get serious about eBay but do not have a camera, so you'll probably want to invest in one at a time.

You e-mail to your suppliers? It is worth sending a brief email when transactions through: something simple, "Thank you for buying my item, please let me know when you sent the payment". Follow this with a "Thank you for your payment, I sent your [name] today". You'll be surprised how many problems are avoided simply by communicating in this way.

Also, please check your emails? Remember that potential buyers can send you email about anything and not answering these emails will just make them go somewhere else instead of buying from you.

Make your product description pages that buyers have everything you need to know? If you plan to offer an international delivery, so it is good to make a list of fees for different counties and display it on each auction. If you have any special conditions (for example, if you give a refund on an item until it has not been opened), so make sure they are also displayed.

Have you been wrapping your items correctly? Your package should be professional for the best impression: use appropriately sized envelopes or parcels, wrap the item in bubble wrap to stop it from being damaged, and print labels instead of written to address hand. Oh, and always use first class post - do not be cheap.

Did you follow? Worth sending an email a few days after publishing an article saying, "All is well with your purchase? I hope you received and it was as expected." This may sound like giving the customer the opportunity to complain, but you should try to help their customers, not take your money and run.

Being a really good eBay seller, more than anything else, these really give good customer service and honest. It is the only foolproof way to protect your reputation. Of course, you may now wonder if it really worth all the trouble to get a good reputation on eBay. No people buy anyway, and could not simply open a new account if it really comes down to this?

5 Easy Steps To Send Your First EBay Auction

It's surprisingly easy to get started publishing its first auction on eBay. This is what you should do.

Now set the starting price. $ 0.01 is the best starting price, because it attracts people to bid who otherwise would not, and the elements almost never get such a low price. Next thing to set the duration of the auction: 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. This depends on you: more sales are usually more tender, but also seem to drag forever. If you take a picture, there is now - items always sell more pictures. Finally, select the mode of payment accepted (just PayPal is best at the moment), and where you can e-mail (limited to their own country to begin with). Enter and you're done!

Step 4: Wait to sell.

This is just sitting back and letting eBay do not thing - buyers will find an entry and leave it offers. Some providers can send e-mail for questions, and you should do your best to answer these questions as quickly as possible.

Remember that if your item does not sell, then you can re-enter for free.

Step 5: For the collection of payment and post it.

eBay is sent to the e-mail to the buyer by guiding them through the process of sending an item for payment. Make sure you have the money before sending anything.

Once payment is received, all you have to do is to submit materials for packaging (make sure to use some bubble wrap), take the address of the purchaser, a confirmation email eBay sent you, and write it in the package. Put stamps, send, and you're done!

Learning the eBay "Lingo"

You have to understand sometimes when it comes to eBay? Do not worry, some of the jargon is really unclear, and there can be expected to understand it until someone told you what it means.

Comments: positive or negative comments left about other users on eBay.
Mint: in perfect condition.
Non-payment bidder: the bidder who wins an auction, but then proceed to purchase the item.
PayPal electronic payment method approved by most vendors.
Rare: used and abused on eBay, now entirely meaningless.
Reserve: the minimum price the seller accepts the entry.
Shill bid: a false bid set by the seller trying to drive their price auction.
Snail mail: The message is, of course, is very slow compared to e-mail.
Sniping: offers last minute to win an item before anyone else can offer more than you.

While it is good to be able to understand others' jargon, avoid using it unless you really need (for example, if you need more space in the topic title). Many people on eBay are not experienced buyers and you will lose them if you write a load of gibberish all your auctions.
