 I don't see any items you have up for sale yet, but I can say that drop-shipping inexpensive unbranded items from China, that are already seen in thousands of listings here, is not the way to go.

A great way to start is to research your items by typing in what you want to sell into the eBay search bar. On the left margin, you will see boxes for you to select, scroll down and click sold items. From here, it will display all the items that were recently sold. 

 

Find the items that best matches yours and price accordingly. To be more competitive, you may want to price a bit below other's current listed prices, and offer free shipping. Make sure you take good quality pictures (eBay prefers a white backdrop), and describe the items the best you can. 

 

Good luck with your new journey.

1)    Have some knowledge about what you are selling.

2)   Have what you are offering on hand and available to ship

3)   Answer any and all questions from other ebayers.    Read your messages 2-3 times a day and answer

       them immediately.

4)  Stay professional.   Be polite even when it hurts to do so.   Don't answer rudeness with more rudeness.  

5)  In your listings,    Tell your buyers what you WILL do,   Not what you WON'T do.

6)  In your listings.    Describe it as if there is no photographs.

7)  Use clear,   in focus,  accurate photographs.

😎  NEVER show anything in you photographs that you are not sending with the order.

9)  Keep records.   Buy a printer.  Send an invoice with every order.

10)  In your listings.   Photograph it as if there is no desvriptions.

11)   In your listings.    Use item specifics.    The do work.

12   In your listings.    Check your spelling.    Poor spelling and grammar are a turn-off.

 

13)   ALWAYS DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU PROMISED!

14)  Ship on time.    If you say today,    Ship it today.

15)  Own your mistakes.

16)  Don't blame the post office.    You,  The seller are responsible until the item gets to the customer.

17)   Package it for protection.   If it gets damaged,  It's on you.

18)   NEVER ask a buyer for more money.   If you messed up the shipping amount,   It's on you.

19)    Use keywords in your titles.    Sell the items the way you shop.    Look and compare to see 

         what your competitors are doing.

20)  Search for your product.     Pay attention to what the items are actually selling for and not 

         what some sellers wish they would sell for.  

 

Good luck.   Happy trails.    Your mileage may vary.

Welcome to eBay! There are a lot of things you can do to build your eBay business. This isn't everything by no means. Other sellers will add to your post.

 

 Here are a few:

 

- Provide good customer service. Treat buyers how you want to be treated!

 

- Do research to see what others maybe are selling the same items for.

 

- Post clear nice pictures, you get up to 12 free. Pictures can show the item's condition better. Don't use anyone else’s pictures.

 

- Write a good title and description. Be sure to note any flaws. The more detailed your description the less chance of a buyer filing a not as described case. I even show pictures of the flaws.

 

- Fill in the detail section as much as possible.

 

- Make sure that your shipping price listed is accurate. You cannot ask the buyer for more money after the sale, if you get it wrong.

 

- Never sell outside of eBay, for your protection.

 

- Don't ever agree to send to another address other than the buyers registered address.

 

- Answer your messages from buyers as soon as possible.

 

- Look out for scams. Suggest reading eBay's section on scams.

- Always provide and upload tracking.

 

- Charge reasonable shipping rates.

 

- Double check your spelling and grammar.

 

- Be sure to read eBays selling policies.

- Read eBay's start selling overview; it has some very helpful articles.

 

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling/start-selling-ebay?id=4081&st=12&pos=6&query=Start%20selli....

 

- Be familiar with eBay’s prohibited to sell items.

 

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/prohibited-restricted-items?id=4207&s....

 

As a new seller you will have selling limits. eBay does this to make sure that you show that you are a good seller and show a good track record.

 

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/selling-limits?id=4107&st=12&pos=2&query=Selling%20limits....

 

You will also have to know what trademark items you can't sell. If you list an item that is on the prohibited list, VERO (Verified Rights Owner Program) will get your auction listing closed.

 

https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/listing-and-marketing/verified-rights-owner-program.html#m17-1-....

 

Again, this isn't everything. This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of great folks here that will add to what I started. It is good to hear what everyone has to add. 

 

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
