How to list an item correctly on Ebay

• Name the listing appropriately. Make sure you have the proper spelling as bad spelling will decrease your rankings on the search page. If you have space left then write words like 'cheap' or 'best on Ebay' or 'Special offer'. Only do this when you have used the keywords necessarily for a item and have words space left over. Ebay limits the amount of words you can use to name a listing so take that into consideration.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
• Be honest.If you don't be upfront about your item this will cause complications after the sale. You will get a refund request or a negative feedback. So any thing that is supposed to be mentioned, mention it.                                                                                                                                                          
• Use the Ebay advanced specific description.This helps buyers find out all the facts for a item and is much appreciated.if used correctly this helps you get to the top of the search page too.                                                                                                                                                           
• Write not too much but not too little descriptions. Too much will bore the buyer. To little will make the buyer suspicious and make them think you are trying to hide some thing. Try and be factual as you can with specifications, item conditions etc.                                                                            
  
• Use pictures. Use as many as you can. Pictures reassures the buyers that you are a genuine seller. They also help in decision making for the buy. With out pictures items sell for less on Ebay.That is a fact i seen with my own eyes. (Don't fear Ebay pictures fees, see the post that teaches you how to add free pictures to your Ebay listings.)                                                                                          
• Have a order in your description. dedicate a paragraph to each section of your listings such as item description and postage.Don't jam every thing into one big paragraph as this wont be easy on the eyes of the sellers and they may get frustrated with not being able to find out the information they want to know because it is all clunked up.                                                                  
• Use auction templates. gives buyers colour and stimulation. The plain black and white listings with out any real structure screams lack of attention. Templates users report increase in sales so that is always a good reason to use them. (See useful links post to find websites that offer free Ebay listing templates.)                                                                                                                              
•  At the end of your listing write all the terms and conditions (if you have any) and write a call to action such as check out my about me page or feedback etc.
