So
how do you actually sell on ebay?
Firstly you need to go to the ebay web site and open a sellers
account by clicking on the 'sell' link. You will need to have
payment details handy i.e. bank account, debit or credit card
details at the ready. This is because there is a charge for selling
your items, or for using some of the enhancements of your offering
available on the site.
Make sure you are allowed to sell your chosen item on ebay (as
some products are excluded), and then conduct some research to
enable you to write the listing that will sell your item. For
example, this can be done by looking similar items that have already
been sold there - these will be listed as 'completed items'.
Once you are happy that you've prepared an appealing and realistic
piece of copy, you then need to list your items. You carry out
this process by completing the fields on a form. Ebay gives you
the choice of letting people buy the item now at a fixed price,
or as an auction. If you use the auction format, it's usual to
set a price that's low enough to get several buyers interested,
in the hope that they will increase the price by bidding against
eachother. For the auction option, you can decide the duration
e.g. a week. You can also upload pictures of the items you are
selling. You can also choose from a variety of ways for the buyers
to pay you, from most usual methods to Pay pal. It's worth including
in your listing all the actual cost that buyers will need to pay
e.g. postage costs.
The web site section called 'My ebay' will let you track the buying
activity until the sale is made. At that point, you contact the
buyer to arrange the payment and delivery of the item (as stated
in your listing). Once you've received the buyer's payment, you
post the item to them. It is customary on ebay for the buyer to
rate you as a seller. This will be displayed for other future
potential buyers to read, so it's in your interest to conduct
everything as efficiently and honestly as possible.
