eBay selling basics

To sell successfully on eBay you need to know all about eBay and the actual cost of selling on eBay. To many people think their item will sell each time they list it and only account for the cost of listing the item once in each sale

as a result they end up with tiny 5-10% profit margins. In the top right of the eBay home page there is the help link if you click on it, you will be taken to a page that has many topics on it if you don’t already have a good knowledge of each of these then you need to read the articles on each of these topics.

Now that you have your own eBay account and know your way around eBay. It’s time to build some feedback as I am sure you will have noticed that each user has a feedback rating. For you to start selling on eBay you

need to build a positive feedback rating. The best way to do this is to buy, I know you don’t want t o spend money on things you don’t need so simply buy some essentials to start your eBay business like shipping supplies and

some relevant supplies to the product you plan to sell. I highly recommend a personalized thank you and some sort of flyer to be included with your product when you ship it to the customer so why not get them from eBay.

Don’t worry you don’t need to have a product already but if you do that’s great. Start by selling some stuff from around the house. But remember you want to build a good reputation so don’t sell junk.
