Moving Product On Your Online EBay Business Site

So, you’ve decided to enter the fray, and set up your own online business selling merchandise on eBay. This will be a good move for you, so long as you keep a couple of things in mind. Being a successful eBay entrepreneur takes a lot more than filling out your profile, listing your products, naming your prices and letting it fly. Yes, these things matter, but like in all things, the Devil’s in the details. Thousands of sellers peddle their wares on eBay, and if you don’t take the time to set yourself up right, you risk getting lost in the muddle, sitting on merchandise you can’t move, with your business stuck in neutral.

Don’t let yourself fall into this trap. Take these few easy steps to make sure that your seller profile and product pages shine.

 BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION

The problem that a lot of would be eBay sellers have is that they lazily set up their product description pages that list a vague, one sentence blurb that often simply repeats the product description’s headline, leaving most buyers scratching their heads as to what, exactly, it is that you are trying to sell. Remedy this by making sure to thoroughly explain exactly what the product is – its model number, SKU if applicable, whether its new, used or refurbished, what condition the product is in, whether the box and manuals are included, and list any relevant history the product may have. Then, be sure to clearly (and repeatedly) explain the price or the bidding terms, the delivery method you will use, how much you charge for delivery and be absolutely certain to clearly explain your policy for processing payments and returns. 

TAKE GREAT PICTURES

Clear, well lit pictures will be the life blood of your online eBay business. Be sure to take great pictures of your product from all angles, and include close ups of any relevant details, such as dials, buttons, model number, defects, etc. One of the best tips is to use a digital camera, and take as many pictures as you can, until you have one perfect shot from every possible angle. A good tip for helping you take these pictures is to take them in as well lit of an area as possible, make sure that you never “shoot into the light” (it creates harsh shadows), and put the camera as close to the product as you can while still keeping the picture sharp. Don’t be afraid to fill the frame. Make sure you take the picture with the product set against a plain background of a cool or neutral color. Avoid busy patterns or empty rooms, and also avoid warm colors such as reds, browns and yellows. Never use a generic picture of a similar product that you downloaded off of the manufacturer’s web site. When a customer finds your product through a Google search, they have often done a considerable amount of research on that product. They are much less inclined to purchase your product if all they see of it is the generic photo that they’ve come across dozens of times during their online searches.
