eBay Jobs – Tactics for Success (Part 1 of 2)

If you’re looking for eBay jobs or want to start your own eBay business, the following tips will help you achieve your success in whatever endeavor you choose. Obviously, the big money comes from being a powerseller, so these tips will help you reach that point. Most importantly, eBay jobs and businesses must stand out from the crowd.

1. Always feature your auctions. You will receive 10 times more traffic than other non-featured auctions simply by being featured in the top results.

2. Always use a gallery picture. However, don’t make it like all the others, and if you are selling an informational product, don’t use an e-cover graphic. For example, if your e-book is about dog training, take a picture of yourself next to your dog and use that as your gallery picture. That gives it a personal touch and eBay users will love it.

3. Write an auction title that grabs people’s attention. Come up with 50 titles and then consult family and friends for the most popular one. Test your chosen titles over a period of time, because the title is extremely important.

4. Use a subtitle. These are important so take advantage of them.

5. Only use the BuyItNow option that offers immediate payment through PayPal. Do not charge any shipping for informational products.

6. Use the auction style that allows the seller the ability to sell more than one product per auction. However, keep the amount lower than 15.

7. Most of your sales will occur on the first and last days of an auction. Therefore, choose the 7-day auction and start it at 9:30 PM so that it will at 9:30 PM 7 days later. You will want to start a new auction every day until you have listings that start and end every day of the week.

As you can see, eBay jobs require careful planning, and a very important factor of successful auctions all depend on the auction’s title and timing. In Part 2 I will go over additional tactics that will help you on your path to powerseller status.
