Tonight, I’m going to pass along to you some Ebay tips that someone sent me.
I just bought a cell phone on eBay and thought I would like to share a few tips on making your eBay experience better
- “Let the buyer beware.” Look over the listing before you bid or buy. The listing can have important information about the product, the seller’s shipping and payment policies and important things like that. This avoids conflict later on.
- Bid only if you have the money to pay for the item. This is important because if you don’t pay or defer payment for too long, then you can risk negative feedback and a bad reputation on eBay. Plus also make sure that the credit card or PayPal account works and the payment can go through.
- Leave feedback on each transaction on eBay whether you buy or sell. IT helps build a reputation on eBay and people will want to conduct business with you.
- Sellers: Please charge a decent amount for your products and a decent amount for shipping. This will attract more people to buy your products. Don’t charge an outrageous price so no one will buy bit not too cheap so you make nothing; find a balance. And also ship on time as well. Buyers get frustrated and worried when their items arrive late. Make all policies and information clear to the seller and have a good communication with your buyers.
- Be nice; don’t flame other members and users in messages. They will make a note of that when comes time for feedback.
- Remember: “The customer is always right.” Listen to what the customer is saying and take their advice. You want their business right?
Personally, I hate PayPal but most sellers prefer and require PayPal. I try to pay with checks/Money order. There are a handful of sellers who accept checks/MO, some who don’t accept PayPal. So as I said earlier, look carefully at the listing to see what forms of payment they accept and what their policies are, More can be learned from how to guides like the eBay Bible. I hope these have helped you and others in making a pleasurable eBay experience.

FREE HOW TO SELL ON EBAY GUIDE
Before listing an item on eBay, it’s a good idea to research similar items that have already been sold successfully on the site. You can find great information on pricing, features, and key “buzz words” that attract buyers–and compare your item to others in the marketplace by using Completed Listings.
Completed Listings shows you which items sold and at what price which will help in pricing your items. Also it indicates what each seller charged for shipping. When you are ready to sell just click the link “List an item like this” to get started.

Thanks for reading my email back then! I hope that those tips help everyone in their eBay experience. My mom hates shopping on eBay but She wants to sell there. I will sell my used textbooks from last semester there too if I can’t sell them on campus first. The bookstore undercharges you for used books if you sell it to them. As you said, eBay is here to stay. Now if I could get in contact with the person who sold me that RAZR, I have to ask him for a refund. The phone goes bonkers out of nowhere. If anyone can fix it for me, please contact me ASAP. my email address is uthman_baksh2005@yahoo.com. Thanks!

ALSO always highlight all text on the page to check for text that blends in with the background, because people do this to hide some vital information that they don’t want people to see, and so they can’t get in trouble for selling faulty stuff.

What if the customer says “you should give me this item for free AND throw in 20 bucks”
