eBay Auction Listing Tips

Want to know some free tips on how to create a better auction listing on eBay®? Then follow these simple tips and you too can have great looking auctions every time!

1. Always clearly and fully describe your item! This will make the buyer more confident if he or she knows exactly what they will be getting. Include things such as size, color, condition, shipping price, type of payment, if you accept returns, etc. Basically, make sure to include anything the buyer could want to know. This will also reduce the amount of questions you will get.

2. Always use a font size that will be easy to read. Also, break your description up into many short paragraphs instead of one long continuous paragraph. This makes reading the auction much easier.

3. Use colors in your auction, and try to add some HTML Codes or use Templates to make a professional looking listing.

4. Always add a great gallery picture. This is easy, only costs $0.35, and will likely help your auction sell. Also, make sure the picture is clear enough & large enough to be easily noticed.

5. Add additional pictures in your auction if necessary. For some items, one picture may be all you need. But for some items, you may want to show the back or side view. In this case, the more pictures the better. Remember, you can add pictures for free by hosting your own pictures online & adding the html code to the auction. For more information on how to do this, check our HTML Codes section.

6. Clearly state your shipping policy, how it will be shipped, and the price. You can either charge a flat rate, or you can use eBay's® shipping calculator so that the buyer can calculate shipping. Either way, make sure the buyer can understand all of the costs before buying.

If you will follow these simple 6 tips, you can have a great, professional looking auction every time!
