Want to ruin your eBay business? Some things NOT to do!


Go through this list and make sure you are not falling prey to any of these eBay business destroyers!

Make sure that your item description is as accurate as possible. Do not delay in shipping out your item. You need to ship it within a day or two unless you note it otherwise on your auction listing or you email the winning bidder up front to explain when the item will be shipped.

Not answering your eBay customer emails: Yeah, you may think that your eBay business is set it and forget it but eBay buyers want answers to their questions and they want them now! If someone is sitting there watching your item or bidding on your item, that question is the most important thing to that buyer and should be the most important thing to you as an eBay seller. One unanswered question could make the difference between selling or not selling an item on eBay.

Sell your item at full retail price: So you got this great product the other day, lost your receipt and figure you’ll sell it on eBay. Well, you probably not going to get full retail for it. Before listing any item, make sure to look for the same item using eBay search and see what other people are selling the same item for.

Not including a photo of your item: I do not care if you are selling a jar of air from the Grand Canyon, people want to see a picture of that jar. Showing your buyer a high quality photo of the item is a must. If there are any flaws in the item, be sure to show those too. Be sure to include as many high quality photos of the item you are selling as you can.

Try to optimize all of your listings, and
your eBay business
, by paying special attention to these definite business destroyers.
Good luck and good selling! .
