eBay Selling tip #0: Never get eBay tips from people who spell eBay wrong. If someone recommends some "EBay Selling Tip", or "Ebay Selling Tip", it's probably garbage.

eBay Selling tip #1: Charge a handling fee. This tip seems quite obvious, but many newbies don't realize this: An item that sells for $10 + a $5 shipping fee and an item that sells for $5 + a $10 shipping and handling fee both mean $15 to the customer. But you paid less eBay fee for the latter. This is NOT dishonesty, because you DESERVE to be paid for handling the product. Note: A Shipping and Handling fee that's TOO high will make you look greedy, and people won't buy the item.

eBay Selling tip #2: Have a good ending time. You can care less if your target bidder is the whole world. But if your target is your own country, consider this: Many bidders view/bid on an item within the last hour of the ending time, so if an auction ends at 5:00am, this item is !#$@ed. For UK people, some time between 9-12 pm is good. For US people, some time around 8 Pacific (12 Eastern) is good, don't let it be too early or too late, because people live in very different time zones. Note: again, use with caution, you should understand that when many sellers are using this strategy, they'll end up selling similar items at the same time, and their items are still !#$@ed.

More tips to come.
