Not only I am obsessed with computers, the internet and components, I absolutely love Ebay as well. Some people say Ebay is like having a garage/yard sale. I say no. If you had 10 things on a table for sale at your garage/yard sale, are you going to sell all of these items? On Ebay you probably will.
Here are some of my tips for buying and selling on Ebay.
Buying
- Check the seller's feedback and other items that they may be selling. Not that it works that well anymore with people buying feedback through the 1 cent auctions.
- Always be sure of postage costs or any added postal insurance before you bid.
- Try buying what you want really early in the morning or late at night when there is less competition in the bidding. Or try during the day when most people are working.
- Read the item description thoroughly. If there is information missing, ask the seller a question to find out more.
- What condition is the item in? Some tricks in the naming of the item may mislead you. For example the words antique or rustic may not mean the item is old. Or an add for wholesale plasmas could just be a wholesale list. Buyers beware.
- When you view the item decide what your limit is before you bid. Just because you want it doesn't mean you should bid until you win..
- Add items into your watch list because you will kick yourself if it goes really cheap and you miss it.
- Search for items with incorrect spelling. They always end up with fewer bids.
- If you are buying something expensive, then get the contact information of the seller at Ebay seller info. You must be in a transaction with the seller to access this.
Selling
- Start selling items you do not need around the house until you get to know what you are doing.
- Sell items at the right time and day. For example I like ending my auction on Saturday or Sunday, later in the day, because some people sleep in on weekends.
- Use keywords in your item title with the correct spelling. For example to sell an ipod, some keywords would be: ipod, mp3 player, 512mb(size), and the brand.
- Be honest with your description of the item you are selling. This will limit the amount of complaints you get because buyers will know what they are buying.
- Build a good feedback rating. Beware of leaving bad feedback because the other person will do the same. Try sorting it out first.
- When you get paid for an item send it ASAP. Don't let a good buyer wait.
- Don't write terms and conditions that are going to scare your customers away!!! Get a friend to read through your ads and make impartial comments.
- For the serious sellers there are more tips are available at Ebay
