my first listing

[neekku0]

what are the considerations in my first listing for selling

[downunder-61]

You need to register as a business with your government before you can sell, once you have:

All new Sri Lankan sellers need to research everything they can about ALL area’s of eBay not just Selling

.

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.

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.

Yes this is my C&P template, I have said it all before, but it still bears saying again (IMHO)

Don't dropship from China.

Happy Thursday!

What types of items are you interested in selling?  Where are you wanting to sell to?

Once you have met compliancy for e-commerce in your region, you will need a Business Plan.  Drop-shipping from China or Hong Kong is not a viable business plan.

Take your own pictures and sell what you know.  Be patient and grow your business the right way.

Good luck, be safe!!

If people want to drop ship from China and everything is above board they should be allowed to do what they want to.

Most of that stuff is junk, so why would you want to sell it.

[dentalrprtek2012]

Did not say I want to but people should make their own decisions of what they want to sell. with all the scammers on here they probably wont last long anyway.

Decide what you want to sell.

Look those items up on EBay.

Click “Advanced” to the right of the Search bar.

Go down a bit and check “Sold”

Then look at the results. Try to figure out why they sold. What is the style in that category? What elements did they include?
