Selling on eBay is a great way to declutter and make some extra pocket money while you’re at it! The website and/or the app are surprisingly easy to use but here are some tips to help you get the most out of your new sales venture.
Always remember to weigh your item in the packaging that you plan to ship it in.
eBay has a handy feature that allows you to estimate the postage and packaging costs of your listings. This saves so much time and ensures that you’re always charging the right amount for shipping. It’s important to remember that you will need to weigh your items in the same packaging that you will be posting them in, including any extras such as bubble wrap. This is especially important for items that are larger than the standard letterbox size, or are awkwardly shaped.
Don’t forget that you can lower the price of the item you are selling on eBay if it’s not selling.
If your listing is about to come to an end and has received no interest at all, it could be beneficial to head into your eBay account and edit the listing. When editing your listings, you are able to change the price of the item – this is a great way to encourage last-minute buyers to click on your listing and place a bid or buy it outright.
Selling On Ebay
Selling on ebay is quick to get started and a great way to declutter. Taking time to find the clutter and separate it from what you want to keep is important. One thing is for sure, selling on eBay is final. So don’t sell things you want to keep.
Quality Advert
Selling on eBay is more successful if you spend a little time creating the advert – you especially want to make sure that the photos on the advert are of high quality. A picture speaks a thousand words, especially when it comes to people parting with their money. Describe the item, but don’t oversell as this could lead to problems later down the line when they receive their purchase.
