Here?s a list of things you can do to make eBay work for you.1) Become a trading assistant: Have you run out of your own things to sell on eBay? You can make an extra buck just asking around the neighborhood, or family and friends to see if they need to sell anything.

7 Ways to Enhance High Priced Items on eBay
2007-09-12 20:01:00
Just like any eBay auction, you as the seller must have a powerful listing with attention-grabbing photos. It does not matter what type of object you want to sell.

Important Feedback Info
2007-09-07 22:27:00
1) Be sure to check the seller?s feedback rating by clicking on the number next to their name. Even if you see a large amount of positive feedback, check to be sure there are not a growing number of negatives in recent history. On eBay, you?re only as good as your last few transactions. If you see a lot of wonderful feedback, but a growing negatives, beware.2) Take a breather before you leave negative feedback. EBay won?t remove feedback if you change your mind or over react to a situation.3) If someone gives you positive feedback, respond. If you receive negative feedback and feel your side of the transaction is worth telling, give your reply in a neutral tone.

1) List concise specs and details of your eBay.com item in the description. Is the item you're posting on eBay new or just opened and never used or in fair condition? These seemingly small details can often make the difference in a higher bid for your product. 2) Mention comments in your follow up e-mail after your eBay.com auction is closed. Example: I sent your item today via Priority mail. I hope you enjoy it.
