[EBAY] Selling BIG Tutorial [Simple]

[Frost]

OK, so if you are on this forums, you are obviously pretty smart. This is why it may be hard to sell on eBay. Most of the world is stupid, so you have to make listings that appeals to stupidity.

STEP 1:
FIND A POPULAR ITEM
- Electronics are easiest
- Earphones/ect. from a dropshipper is easy

STEP 2:
LIST THE ITEM
1. You may think that putting as much info in there will do you a lot better in sales. You may to be safe for returns, but for sales, you are WRONG. MOST people look at an eBay listing for what they want. If the eBay listing LOOKS PRETTY, they will buy it. If your listing looks bad but is better in info, it won't sell.

2. Also, having reputation, as in eBay Trusted Seller or an eBay Store, will attract more customers.

3. Find a website to design free HTML listings for you on eBay. Only use dark colors for font. Light colors are hard for the human eye to see, which makes the buyer leave the page. Add pictures, but not to big, because if the loading time is long, you won't sell any.

4. One thing that DOESN'T need to be pretty, is your title. For example, if you wanted to sell a new ps3 Controller, don't put "[NEW] PS3 CONTROLLER SHINY!!!!", that won't work... Instead, put something like "BRAND NEW Hot Black Ps3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller". ITS ALL ABOUT THE KEYWORDS.

5. Last, when you choose your price( beat competition ), ALWAYS DO FREE SHIPPING. There is a box where buyers can delete all the listings they see that aren't free shipping. For example, if you had a controller for sale for 19.99 with 2 dollars shipping, a controller for 24.99 with free shipping will sell more. FREE SHIPPING IS KEY.

Step 3:
- Always be friendly. Customer support and feedback is another #1 TIP to success with eBay. If you have bad feedback, people will see your percentage and not buy it. Don't be a bad player.


OK! Thanks for reading all! Please comment below if you have anything against or to add to this. Thx!

Well, I just started to sell on Ebay again, and I got $91.31 in the first 12 hours. I love this!

How'd you get $91.31? What did you sell?

This looks like a pretty good tutorial, I'm going to give it a shot and see what kind of damage I can do with it, thank you.

Actually, I made $138.00 dropshipping in around 30 hours. Being very careful, and making your listing "pretty", you will make a lot.

That's amazing

You made $138 profit? Or you got $138 all together?

[Mr. Nice]

Very simple and nice tutorial, thanks for making this frost! :)

I made $138 profit in about one day. However, I can't do this everyday since paypal holds my money at the moment... I am thinking of making a website and putting a classified ad on eBay. I just would need help making a professional website. I got the places to buy the hosting and the domain.
