If you're tired of hearing all the stories about how you can get rich quick off eBay, this is the article for you to read. While you won't become a millionaire, you can still have a quick eBay income that you can rely on as long as you're consistent. Here are 9 steps you can take to earning a good income as an eBay auctioneer.
Step 1: Provide a Good Product or Service
While this seems like a no-brainer, you'd be surprised what people try to pas off on the auctions. Don't mess up your reputation.
Step 2: Offer a Good Price
Again maybe a no-brainer, but you need to set the lowest price you can on an item so people will click on your merchandise and see it.
Step 3: Write a Good Ad
If you can't be understood, no one is going to bid on your auction items. Be clear, and use good marketing language to boost your quick eBay income.
Step 4: Use Photographs
A picture is worth a thousand words it's said, so if you have only a small amount of space, use a photograph. You'd be surprised how many people pass up good ads that don't have a photo.
Step 5: Be Reliable
Make sure you send what you say you will send, in the condition you promise (or better), and when you say you'll send it. Get good ratings from your customers.
Step 6: Offer Returns
If someone isn't sure they want to buy something you're selling, let them return it if they aren't satisfied. This eliminates their risk and they are more likely to give you a chance, especially if you're new.
Step 7: Notify Your Winning Bidders
Communication is king--let them know right away and thank them for bidding on your items.
Step 8: Give Feedback
Always give customer feedback. It helps keep your name out there and gives you more credibility.
Step 9: Tell Others
Let your friends know, post a bulletin on your Myspace page, blog it, write in forums--do what you have to do to let the world know you have an eBay auction site.
