The Unearthed Secrets Of An eBay PowerSeller
Sounds hard? Nope, not at all, in fact anyone can do it.
Shortly, if you want to qualify for being an eBay seller you
need:
*To be an active member for 90 days. *Average a minimum of $1000
in sales per month for three consecutive months. *Achieve an
overall Feedback rating of 100, of which 98% or more is
positive. *Have an account in good financial standing.
Now we'll learn about the methods used by our fellow eBay
PowerSellers. A successful auction has three elements which are:
the title, a description and pictures of your selling item.
When listing, always write a clear, attractive and concise
title. The first thing any potential buyers see will be your
title so you should grab their attention once they enter. It
should tell what the buyers want, make them nod their heads when
they read your title. Some descriptive words like old, vintage,
runs, works or condition statements like "New in Box", anything
that is appropriate can get you better results than a bold
headline.
Many people left a lot of money on the table when they depended
just on "see photos" instead of writing a good description. A
large number of auctions are filled with paragraph after
paragraph of information about where to send the payments, how
to send the payments, when to send the payments, who can bid and
who can't which sometimes clutters the auction.
It's really simple to include a good description which can make
your potential buyers stay glued to what you say right until
they make a bid or purchase your item and everyone in the world
should do it!
By writing an accurate description you will make bidders more
confident about your item. Not certain on what to describe?
Search for similar items on eBay, and read the description, take
down the catchy words then use it in your listing. The
confidence can translate into higher prices.
As for your auction's pictures, use big clear photographs. The
best way to get nice and clear photos is to take them using a
digital camera. Other than that, it is also easier for you to
upload the photos into your computer with a digital camera. Try
and improve your pictures by adding suitable lightings as well,
it can help produce better results in your picture's quality.
Now, all of us know that feedbacks are based on the seller's
customer service. Whenever we go out somewhere for a meal,
customer service is very important. Let's say DOME, people likes
going there because the food has low calories, and of course, it
tastes great. But what makes people feel comfortable eating
there is the customer service. Good customer service is always
defined by: a smile, fast service, and simple.
We'll need to always be pleasant to our customers. Don't be shy,
be more humble than your customers and treat them as though
they're your boss. When people know you have good customer
service, they won't mind considering buying more items from you.
Since you are a trusted person and easy to communicate with it,
being your repeated customer in time to come will be great. If
you have excellent customer service, it just hurts if I don't
write you a good feedback and keep your items, right?
Selling the item to your customer doesn't mean he or she is done
for good. There are a lot more ways to benefit from your current
customers. After they've purchased your item, try to offer a
bonus, like a free e-book or something that is useful. But
first, they will need to sign up for your newsletter, or
subscribe to your opt-in list. You can instead not only offer
the bonus for the buyer, but all the other bidders. This way,
you add up your opt-in list, make everyone happy, and all these
current bidders can be potential buyers of your items in the
future.
In your auctions, you can always put a link to your other
auctions in your description and inform the surfers that you
have more items for sale. By telling the viewers you have
similar items for sale and can offer cheaper shipping & handling
cost, it urges people to buy more items from you.
A guarantee is always part of the most important factor in your
auctions. This can be a simple statement like if the item is not
as represented you can return it for a refund. Using a strong
guarantee can greatly increase your response. If you offer a
guarantee you need to honor it, but if you're diligent, you will
definitely not have many returns. If you want to know how a good
guarantee statement sounds like, you can refer this one:
"100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY FOR ANY REASON
JUST RETURN YOUR ITEM FOR A COMPLETE REFUND INCLUDING SHIPPING
BOTH WAYS."
How does it sound? Safe enough to buy definitely! It doesn't
matter if they refund your item in the future, you just need to
sell your items to your customers and let them make their
choices after receiving it. 863 words
At the end of your auction's description, always make it easier
for surfers and maintain their urge of buying by listing the
shipping & handling costs for your items. Refrain from letting
them do the math or turn to other pages just because it's
troublesome inquiring for the fees. A good example is:
"$5.00 shipping to US Destinations by Priority Mail. I will pack
with care and ship with delivery confirmation for your
protection. International shipping are sent by Airmail letter
Post. I will combine items that end on the SAME day to lower
your shipping cost."
This is absolutely clear and to the point. When you include this
information, surfers will not have to figure out anything extra
or look at other pages to find out the shipping information, and
it can help increasing your response in sales!
People have many different opinions when it comes to how long
they should list an auction. There's no definite answer to it,
but five to seven days are the peak ones. Search results are
presented by newly listed items or those items which are ending
on the same day, which means the first and the last 24 hours are
when most people will see one's auction.
Pack well! By packing nicely you inflict the message of how
valuable your item is, and it increases your customer's
satisfaction for the product. Chocolates like Ferrero Rocher or
Kit Kat have nice packing and that urges people to buy it as
well, noticed it before?
To be an eBay seller isn't hard at all, it takes a little time
and effort, but that's it. Slowly build your customer database,
keep the opt-ins, add up your positive feedbacks, continue
providing good customer support, and you're almost there.
