Bidding on ebay

If you are familiar with an auction,then you already know how eBay works. Someone puts up an item for sale on the site, and then buyers place bids on it. The highest bidder gets the item. eBay being an online auction makes a big difference, though. Buying and selling are not reserved for any elite. eBay accept almost any item, no matter how small, and will then advertise it on their sites all over the world. It's a powerful combination of an auction and a slightly chaotic marketplace. Bidding is the price you are willing to pay for the item as a bidder in the auction. On eBay, you place your bid on the site,and then eBay places the bids on your behalf. That means you could say you were willing to pay up to $1000 for something and only have to pay $500, if that was the highest maximum bid anyone else placed. The best way to get used to it is to give it a try.Go to the eBay website designed for your country. Now, on the front page you should see a big box marked search': just type in what you'd like to buy there. Now you should have a list of items that has been put up for sale,along with how much people are currently bidding for them and the time when bidding ends for each item. If you click one of these, you can read the description, and then - if you're happy with the item and willing to pay more than the current highest bidder is - you can bid! To bid scroll down to the bottom of an item's description page, and type the maximum you are willing to pay (your maximum bid) into the box. Then press the 'place bid' button.This step assumes that you are registered with ebay and have logged in.Otherwise you have to register yourself and login to place a bid. If someone has already bid more than you,on that item,then eBay will tell you and give you the opportunity to bid again. If thereis not,then you now the highest bidder for that item.Now wait for the auction to end.If nobody beats your highest bid,you get the item,if someone else outbids you, then eBay will email you and you can bid again.

Increasing Your eBay Response

So you've got a seemingly interested buyer interested in your auction,they've read the description.How do you push them over that line and make them leave a bid? Read on for some tips. If you have not uploaded your item's photo upload a clear sharp picture.I have already written about the importance of the About Me page.Complete that.You'll be surprised how much you can reassure bidders just by creating an About Me page.                                                                       Sign up at SquareTrade and display their logo on your auction showing that you are committed to have them resolve any disputes that arise. You always see this on PowerSellers auctions - it makes you look more professional. Build confidence with buyers.Write clearly in bold font,clearly visible on all your auctions, your terms and conditions, giving details of things like shipping times and prices, your refund policy, and any other impoortant business practices you might have. Copy and paste a selection of the feedback comments you get on the item's description page, instead of making bidders go and look for it.This will give the potential buyers a peace of mind. Bidders prefer auctions that don't have a reserve price,so Add the letters NR to your titles and doing this lets them see that your auctions do not have a reserve price. Your description should focus on the benefit that your item can give to the customer, not just its features. Have a look at the word "cheap" and "save".While cheap saves you money,"Remember: 'cheap' is a feature, 'save money' is a benefit. Listing more items,will get more people to respond to your items.Accept unusual payment methods: To reach those last few buyers, accept payment methods that many sellers may hesitate.Offer the widest range of payment methods accepted.

Auction titles

Making your would be buyers find your auctions can be a truly difficult task.Most people only search eBay by title, not by description,and that means it is impossible to cover all possible search terms for your auctions.. Avoid titles such as this....Super rare cell phone wow!!low price" These are stupid things to put in your title, as no-one is going to search for them.Then how do you put a good title?Simple you think like a buyer,and what would you type in to find your auction?Think like other sellers: Keep an eye on sellers who are doing well with items like yours, and try to copy their title styles ---do not copy the title itself!!.. if it works for them, it can work for you. Write the item's brand and specific model number in the title, as people will often search only for this information. Make sure that you also say exactly what the item is. An example:"Motorola RAZR V3 cell phone"followed by a few technical specifications So now that you've written a winning title, you need to start on a great description. Once you've drawn the buyers in with your title, the next thing to do is to tell them all about your item with the description.Getting the buyers excited about your products,should be your objective when writing descriptions,and that's usually hard - but on eBay, if you have the right thing to sell and give enough details, the buyers almost excite themselves.Without being boring,write in a friendly,conversational language, every technical detail you know, including the item's manufacturer,its condition, it's size, where and when it was made,.....and so on. Don't write anything in the description you are not sure about or you do not know what it means,as the chances are someone will, and if you've got it even slightly wrong then you'll look like you don't know what you're talking about. There is no way you can be too thorough: someone, somewhere will appreciate that you took the time to write the extra information.Don't pre-assume that those wanting extra information will contact you to ask a question: many buyers are shy and won't do it.So,just think of all possible questions and write the description in such a manner,that all possible questions are answered there.However if at all a potential buyer does email/contact you with a question,answer their question and update your description.If many ask the same question,put that in bold letters for others to notice.

ebay powersellers

PowerSellers are the people on eBay who've made it, recognizable by the little 'PowerSeller' badge next to their name.eBay has a set of requirements which when fulfilled or achieved by a seller on ebay gets him the coveted position of a powerseller along with a badge.To get in at the minimum PowerSeller level, you must have a feedback rating of at least 100 (minimum 98% positive) and sell at least $1,000 worth of items every month for three months in a row. There are different levels of PowerSeller membership as you sell items of greater value: $1,000 total is bronze,$3,000 is silver, $10,000 is gold, $25,000 is platinum and $125,000 is titanium. PowerSellers think far more like regular off line shops. They sell the same items again and again, every week - regular stock for regular customers.They keep inventories and operate within a budget. Just like a real shop, there can be hard times, but their income is stable and their business can grow slowly.The best advice I can give you on operating on ebay like a power seller is this: don't take long-term risks for short-term gain. Look after your reputation, manage your selling properly, provide good customer service and the rewards will come to you in due course. And you'll get a little badge next to your name that makes people trust you more!
