82. Featured Articles
eBay offers both buyers and sellers featured articles that can be helpful. These articles offer diversity and can guide you through some difficult or discouraging challenges.
83. E-Mail Accounts
In addition to your eBay contact and primary e-mail address, you should also consider adding an alternate e-mail address. Just in case something happens to one, you have a backup option for buyers to reach you with a question or problem. The more accessible you are to your buyers, the better.
84. Bid Cancellation
If you discover a bogus bidder has bid on your auction, be sure to cancel their bid before the auction ends, which saves you from losing an honest, paying buyer. Some of these bogus buyers will be discovered from your own experiences and others you can research through eBay.
85. Alternate Spellings
The "search" option is precise so you need to try breaking words up, creating a better chance for your auction to be found. As an example, if you are selling a lawnmower, list it as "Lawnmower" and "Lawn Mower." Another example would be selling a television. You might list it as "television" and "TV."
86. Summer vs. Winter
Online auctions tend to be a little slower during the summer months when people are outside, on vacation, and just enjoying life. The winter months when people are cooped up in the house tend to be much busier. For this reason, many items difficult to sell or higher priced items should be listed during the winter.
87. Collectibles
When selling antiques or collectibles, you should provide a history of the item(s). If you have artwork for sale in your auction, provide the buyer with its origin. People love to have history, especially when it comes to collectibles, which is part of what adds to its value. Without embellishing, make the story a good one.
