Something New from eBay

Ebay got it so right the first time that over the years there have been very few additions to or changes made in the original.

That says a lot about the planning that went into the site in the beginning.

When eBay bought Paypal in 2002 it was a big step and one of the very few changes that have ever been made.

It was an excellent business decision that has proven to be very beneficial to buyers and sellers on eBay not to mention the bottom line of the corporation itself.

Then in January of 2006 eBay made another change. This one has proven to be beneficial to buyers and sellers that make use of the eBay website as well. This big change is called the eBay Express.

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.
