101 Tips For Making Money On Ebay
58. Counter
58. Counter
eBay provides the option of using a counter on your auction site. This helps you track the number of people visiting your auction. If you find that you have many hits but no one is buying, you might need to adjust your description, photo, etc. To make this even more appealing, it is free.
59. Payment Page
On the fifth page, the payment option page, you only need to check one box - "see item description" box. Since you will have outlined your payment options in your description, this reduces redundant information. This is easy to use and highly recommended.

60. Buyer pays Shipping
For the question as to who pays for shipping, you will have the option of who pays for shipping, you or the buyer. Always be sure you have the "buyer" box checked. Otherwise, you will end up with all the charges on your plate.
61. Shipment Location
Be sure to consider where you will ship to carefully. You will have buyers from around the world but you can limit where you will ship. Some people prefer to ship to the US, Canada, and European countries while others ship anywhere. The option is completely yours but keep in mind that there are some differences in how you wrap the package, the currency exchanges, and communication barriers between you and the buyer.
62. Page Six
This is an important page in that you will see the summary of your auction. This is your last chance to make any changes before your auction goes public. Take your time to read through everything two or three times before hitting the final button. Sometimes having a friend or co-worker scan through your information can help find things tired eyes miss.
63. Corrections
Once you post your auction, if you see an error that would make a huge difference in the sale, there is an option on eBay where you can add information. Although you cannot go back and correct the actual error, you can point out the error and provide the corrected information. Using the fabric scenario, if you were selling 12 yards but in your description, you said 2 yards that would make a big difference in the bidding. In your additional information, you could state, "My apologies - in my original description I stated this auction was for 2 yards. The actual amount of fabric is 12 yards. Thank you."
