Here is my first tip of the day.. I was doing some ebay research when I read this in a listing I will combine shipping on multiple purchases at one time when possible , Shipping insurance included if you have a street address to ship to I shipping to a po box or APO/FPO Address the shipping may be more you can email me for shipping cost Please go back and reread your listings are ask someone else to doublecheck them.. --

As you do your research, think ahead to the descriptions you'll write. When you read other sales descriptions in online catalogs or on eBay, write down some ideas for keywords and phrases that might get shoppers' attention. -- Brandi

Don't be too lengthy in your descriptions. This will bore your buyers. --

Brandi, you are right that is way to much information! My next tip is: Advertise. Use the Share Your Wares Thread! Use all the social networks you can and any outside advertising sites too! --

Here's a tip: Showcase samples of your other works in your listing. Here's an example of my recent signs I made and my previous signs in the same listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180328247115&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80... -- Nathan Webster Education Specialist

Schedule time for education. Use eBay Site Map (top right of page under help) to find topics easier. --

Still laughing about the band bio! Now really.. who is gonna read all that on an ebay page? I guess if they were really interested they would! lol Here's a tip I have done, but haven't heard anyone mention here yet. If you know your item is going to be given as a gift, add a gift tag to the package. This is especially nice to do at Christmas. Even if the item isn't a gift for someone they can still use the tag on another gift! Smilin and Stylin

Candance, I like that idea! I added it to my notebook! Thanks! Hugs, Ginny --

I love that idea! I bought a pair of earring a week or so ago and made the comment that my daughter would love them as a gift and guess what! They came gift wrapped in a cute valentines day color box! :) --

I am curious.. I am asking myself if my listings may be too long??????? Hummmm.... thinking about what to leave out. Ruth I love the gift tag idea. I always add little handmade gifts to my packages or little usable items that I have picked up along the way. I also print invoice on colored paper to make it stand out. Like February is Paper from dollar store with hearts on it. St Patty's Day will be green paper, etc. --
