How to make a good listing

[disneyshopper]

Just off the top of my head:

- Use all available characters in your TITLE to include the most important keywords

- Select the most appropriate category for your item

- Include as many Item Specifics as possible

- Include as many photos as you can, from all angles

- Describe the item as if there were no photos

- Include details about all defects if it is a used item

- If you plan on using the AUCTION format, select the minimum price you will accept if you only get ONE bid

Welcome to eBay! There are a lot of good practices. 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. 

- 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.

- 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.

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

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.

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.

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!
