Press Release Summary: This is the most important issue for getting more bidders to
your auction page. You must include words that people will search on eBay. And, you
must make your headline enticing, so potential bidders will click it. If you are
selling an antique make-up table a headline saying old vanity table would not pull
in a lot of bidders. But, if you said something like \"Vintage Vanity Table - Mint
Condition - Collector's Item\" not only would you get more potential bidders to view
your auction, you would also be using words people would search eBay for. Your
auction title would appear in searches for Vintage, Vanity Tables, and Collectors
Items. Therefore, allowing even more potential bidders to see your headline.

Press Release Body: If you were to look through eBay, or any other online auction
site for that matter, you would find that many people make some very basic mistakes.
And, they repeat these mistakes over and over again. As indicated in my book \"eBay
Marketing Wholesale SourcePak\" with a little common sense these mistakes are
completely preventable. So to prevent you from making these very same mistakes I
have put together the Top Ten Tips For Auction Success.

10. Shipping
Always state what your shipping price will be. And, Do Not tries to rip off your
buyers by inflating the shipping price to increase your profit. Believe it or not,
people do have a fair idea of what shipping costs should be. If they feel you are
inflating your shipping price they will not bid on your item and may not look at any
of your other auctions either from fear of being ripped off.

9. Customer Support
You must respond to all emails regarding your auctions. Yes, responding to emails is
time consuming. But, if you don\'t, that potential bidder will look else ware for the
product and you will have lost yourself a customer.

8. Reserve Price
Do your research on the price for your item. If you must use a reserve price keep it
real. If you over price your item you will not get as many bids. And, while all good
marketers know there is a time and place for the Reserve Auction, you may actually
get more bids using no reserve pricing at all. Do your research to help you make
this decision.

7. Item Condition
You must let bidders know what condition your item is in. Is it new and in its
packaging, or used but like new condition. Does it have any imperfections they
should be made aware of.. Potential bidders will want to know what condition your
item is in before making any bids.

6. Terms
This could come under the heading Customer Service. If you have terms on your
auction page that read something like this \"Not Responsible For Item Once Shipped\"
or \"Item Sold As Is\" you will lessen the number of bidders for that auction. Be a
responsible eBayer, have insurance on the item that your buyer can purchase. And be
sure to have some sort of guarantee on your products.

5. Feedback
One of the most important parts of your eBay Business. Feedback is a method eBay
uses to allow buyers and sellers to record their experiences with each other. Then,
others can check out the feedback of any eBayer they wish to deal with, to see if
there has been any negative comments left. Therefore, it is extremely important to
keep your feedback rating positive.

4. Auction Start/Close Time
You must plan your auction start/close time around the bidders you wish to attract
to your auction. If the product you are selling appeals to the working woman, the
best time to start/end your auction would be in the evening or on the weekend.
Always create a profile on your product and what group of the population you are
selling to.

3. Item Description
Not enough information or too much rambling of information will discourage people
from bidding. So too will too many typos. Your item description must be clean and
concise. Succinctly provide all the information required to describe the item
sufficiently and create buyer interest.

2. Image
You need to use an image on your auction page. Remember a picture is worth a 1000
words! Potential bidders will want to see what the item looks like before they make
a bid. With digital cameras, being so affordable these days adding an image to your
auction page is easier than ever. But, make sure the image is clear and well lit to
show its detail or any imperfections it may have. Also, keep the image at a
reasonable pixel size so your auction page doesn\'t take too long to load.

1. Headlines
This is the most important issue for getting more bidders to your auction page. You
must include words that people will search on eBay. And, you must make your headline
enticing, so potential bidders will click it. If you are selling an antique make-up
table a headline saying old vanity table would not pull in a lot of bidders. But, if
you said something like \"Vintage Vanity Table - Mint Condition - Collector's Item\"
not only would you get more potential bidders to view your auction, you would also
be using words people would search eBay for. Your auction title would appear in
searches for Vintage, Vanity Tables, and Collectors Items. Therefore, allowing even
more potential bidders to see your headline.
