Testing the ebay Waters
Before going swimming, sometimes you walk to the edge of the pool and just stick
one toe in to test the waters before you take the plunge, right?
Maybe you go to the shallow end, step in and wade toward the deep end just to be
sure you know where the drop-off is, dont you?
You dont want any nasty little surprises or risk drowning. Thats a very good
idea.
A little caution is a good thing when it comes to swimming pools and other
unfamiliar situations like buying and selling on ebay.
You may have been looking for a way to make a little extra income or even
looking for an opportunity to start your own online business.

To put an item on an Ebay auction is a fairly simple matter. You fill out the
SYI (Sell Your Item) form.
The first thing to decide is in what category to list your item. It might fit
into several categories and you can list it in all of the categories for which
it is eligible but remember that you will be charged a fee for each category.
If you have a problem deciding on the best category, eBay will suggest
categories for you.
The next few steps are pretty self explanatory. You title your item. A title
that is as descriptive as possible is best.
You should avoid using words like, great or fantastic because your words are
limited here.
You set a starting bid price. That is you set the lowest price for which you
will sell the item. This is important. Set it high enough that you wont lose
money but low enough to attract bidders.
Choose the length of time the auction will last. Most people choose between 5 to
7 days to gain as much exposure and allow time for as many interested buyers as
possible to bid on the item. |
