You can really make your image stand out if you use some basic daylight bulbs and a white background so it comes out clean, crisp and uncluttered. An image is a great way to save time as well as it can answer alot of potential questions about your product, that you would otherwise have to describe in detail.

I'd also suggest (for sellers) to work on the product description to ensure the major questions and possible user concerns are answered. Brian McGregor made a good point of quickly answering communication, but in my experience some users will just move to the next seller if the information isn't there. Thanks guys. Solid advice.

“Revenue from fees charged when items are listed and sold on its shopping site grew just 9% from last year, down from 14% annual growth in the prior quarter.” extract from Yahoo Biz Finance ‘EBay’s Painful Quarter’

So, despite increases in fees, growth is down – and then they start charging sellers for services they aren’t going to provide

Ummm … is that desperation I smell? :wink:

I have sold on Ebay for around 6 years I guess. I sell things from my website www.hivelocitynetworks.com but make them so they are lower priced, but before I ever post anything on Ebay I always look to see what the competition is selling the same item for, if at all and adjust my price accordingly, always beating it if I can. I also almost always offer Free Shipping and use Buy It Now for a specified price instead of an actual auction. You have to be careful sometime in dealing with dropshippers. I was selling computer cases several years ago and I was getting them from a place in CA that would drop ship them to my customers, that all worked fine, but they started sending out very poorly packaged or they may have been messed up to begin with, but by the time my customers got them they were pretty mangled, and of course that made the customers unhappy because they had to wait on the replacement. I think what the dropshipper was doing was intentionally sending out busted up equipment and then filing claims against UPS for the damages, where I'm sure they made more than they paid for them....just a hunch though. Anyway, that is take on auctions...they are a good source of extra income. David Overholser www.google-profits-daily.com/blog Hi, I just thought I would add my 2 cents.

There's nothing wrong with having multiple accounts on eBay in fact it's an excellent way to market yourself especially if your selling in different categories. Mark Hi LemonsAllDay,

I've made the mistake of buying cheap web hosting on eBay before and sorry but it's something I wouldn't recommend anyone else does. These days, anyone can set themselves up as a host by simply purchasing a resellers account for about $10 a month. A lot of "ebay hosts" are ran by sellers from their bedroom who simply will be unable to provide the 24/7 support any serious host offers or have the experience it takes to run a hosting business. I guess for any serious host, (such as yourself :-) ) the biggest problem you have on eBay is convincing potential buyers your not a fly by night host and have the necessary resources to back it up with proper support.

Cause always wanted to post a sales event at ebay. But was warned that ebay hosting you get is not the greatest and it might destroy the image of a hosting company. Now, i wonder how true that is.
