Press Release Body: More and more people try their luck at selling on eBay everyday.
With all of that growing competition it is important that you do everything possible
to make sure that you stand out from the crowd. By following a few simple steps you
can greatly improve the odds of your auction being noticed, that browsers will
convert to bidders, and that those bidders will become repeat customers. Begin
practicing the follow seven tips and watch your eBay auction sales explode.

1. Inundate your potential buyers with details. It is much better to provide a lot
rather than a little information and this will also be a great opportunity for you
to pepper your listing description with keywords. Do be sure, however, that your
auction listing is informative and not filled with hype. Those extra exclamation
points really aren\'t going to make the sale. Actually, they will only make you look
unprofessional. Also, give your readers details as appropriate such as models
number, item condition, color, size, etc.

2. The title may not seem like a vital part of the equation, but it really is of
great importance. It is the first thing people see when browsing through the
auctions, so it has to not only grab their attention, but also entice them to click.
Do not enter you title in ALL CAPS. This will only make you look like an amateur.
Include as applicable; keywords, model numbers, seating information, brand names,
item size, color, etc.

3. A picture is worth a thousand bids. Okay, well maybe not a thousand, but it will
certainly help your item sell. Think about it; would you buy something sight unseen?
Of course not and neither will the majority of buyers on eBay. Be sure to take care
when photographing your item. Lesser quality photos are just as bad as no pictures
at all. Also, the more expensive the items; the more photos you should provide.

4. State all of your requirements upfront. Tell potential bidders how much you
intend to charge for shipping, to which countries you are willing to ship, if you
will accept returns, or anything else that you might wish to specify. You really
can\'t make things up as you go along. You have to get all requirements out there at
the beginning.

5. If a potential buyer contacts you with a question then be sure to promptly
respond. If you wait you may lose a much needed bidder. Also, be sure to be polite
in your response as no question is too stupid to warrant anything other than but a
courteous reply. Even if that person doesn\'t bid on your item they will certainly
remember your pleasant attitude and that could mean a future sale.

6. The majority of buyers on eBay prefer to pay for their purchase via PayPal. That
is why it is vital for you to accept this method of payment. It is also beneficial
to you as it eliminates the potential for bad checks or money orders.

7. After the sale most winning bidders will expect the seller to begin the
completion of the transaction. Send an email, an invoice, alert the buyer when the
item has shipped, and be sure to leave feedback after the transaction.
