Re: How to sell items on ebay

All new sellers need to research everything they can about ALL area’s of eBay not just Selling and Listing.

.

It is not just a matter of list, sell, send - you need to learn what to do when a customer wants to return an item, (and if the seller is drop shipping this can be a headache) and what to do if a customer claims an item is not received - again a drop shippers nightmare. Research shipping costs for off shore buyers. Do a search of eBay and see what is selling well and make sure you can match the quality and prices.

 

I have a read a number of posts where the new seller has no idea and is getting hit with negative feedback and unresolved cases being handled by eBay (which dings a sellers account) because they do not know the processes to avoid this.

 

Read, read, and read some more is the only way new sellers will survive the first month.

Re: How to sell items on ebay

Are you kidding me?

There are literally thousands of things involved to maintain a ebay store.

You want me to name them all for you? Talk you through each one?

Why don't you READ and LEARN like the rest of us?

Re: How to sell items on ebay

first verify your ebay account
Learn about the laws on payment of goods return and other laws of ebay
Then find out about the market you want to sell to!!

Re: How to sell items on ebay

Not a good idea to start out with a store.  First list some and learn how to sell.  But before doing that, learn how to become a good seller.

 

Like any new job, you first need to learn how to do it.

Consider lowering your prices.

Clearly with all the bids they are getting on their auctions, lowering prices has no value to this seller.  They have no need to do that.

With only two items, a store is kind of worthless.

You don't need a store until you can list enough items to make a store worth it.

 

Why are you showing feedback in your listing that isn't even your feedback?

Have A Great Day.

Agreed and I think that threshold is about 250 listings.
