Shonna's tips for success |
|
• Take really good pictures. "Make sure your pictures show all the details of your items and look professional." |
• Write complete and accurate descriptions "You should describe your item so people know exactly what it is without needing to look at the pictures." |
• Pay close attention to fees. "Keep an eye on your fees and profits, and experiment to see what works best for your business." |
• Take care of your customers. "Great customer service keeps customers coming back and your feedback rating high." |
• Save time with selling tools. "eBay Selling Manager saves me a lot of time. With a full-time job on top of my eBay Store, I need to save all the time I can!" |
• Read the boards. "I've learned more by reading the Stores boards than by any other way." |
• Use Cross-Promotions. "Once you have a potential buyer looking at an item, they should see as many other items as possible with that one hit." |
• Try Markdown Manager. "This is my favorite eBay Stores feature that has come out since I opened. It's great for generating traffic and getting customers to complete a sale rather than just watch an item. Cross-promote your sale items in for extra traffic." |
