E-Bay Selling Tip #1

Posted by Jeremy on December 1, 2008 under Online Buying and Selling | Be the First to Comment

Here’s a new entry that I will be adding to on a weekly basis.  Prospecting poses a vast assortment of challenges and skills that transcend the consistent struggle of determining who and what are the speculative best buys with your hard earned dollars.

Buying and selling on eBay also poses significant challenges as shipping costs, eBay and Paypal commissions and various other nuances wage a perpetual war on your bottom line.  I, by no means am an eBay guru, and my time spent selling on eBay has considerably diminished since I began focusing more on my writing ventures.  However, through trials and errors, I have learned a few things that I would like to share with you over these cold winter months.

So, without further ado, I bring to you the eBay selling tip of the week…

Activate your Auctiva Account

For those of you unfamiliar with Auctiva, it is a web-based eBay seller’s assistant that offers a comprehensive listing service for prospective eBay sellers.  Below are some of the free services that Auctiva offers to sellers.

• Unlimited picture hosting and integration
• Hundreds of assorted auction templates
• Sales and marketing management
• How-to articles and strategies
• Auction scheduling
• Template customization
• Scrolling galleries of other current sale items

 

Those are just the tip of the iceberg.  Many of the similar services offered through eBay or its affiliate Turbo Lister nickel and dime you to death.  With eBay’s hand already firmly entrenched in your back pocket, it’s nice to know that there are programs that offer easy to use, high-quality services at no cost.  Auctiva is user-friendly and within a short period of time, you can put together a sharp, professional looking auction for the simple price of an Ebay listing fee.

I would love to hear how this works out for you!  Feel free to share your contributions below or shoot me an email if you have other ideas or requests.
