Excellent Customer Service
One of the mainstays of being a top seller on eBay is learning to respond to
your customers in a timely manner.
When you receive an email, answer it promptly. This will help make you a
sale. If you don’t respond, then a buyer may lose interest in your item and
move on to something else.
Learn from your experiences with sales clerks and businesses. If you’re not
responded to, then you’re not happy with your buying experience. Simply
because you don’t have to see your customers face to face or speak to them
on the phone doesn’t mean that you should ignore them. Email your
customers, send them a thank-you email, ask them questions to see how
you could improve their buying experience.
Give your customers excellent service and they will become repeat
customers AND leave you good feedback responses, which will also increase
your overall sales.
Open an eBay Store
If you sell one thing that’s great, but how about selling a LOT of things?
Even better! If you open an eBay store you will enjoy some special perks
given out by eBay that other regular sellers don’t get. You’ll have the option
to add search inventory along with your listings which can lead buyers to
other auctions that you’re holding.
Having an eBay store allows you a central location to sell your items and a
place to send your customers.
EBay stores can net you a tidy sum if handled correctly. EBay makes it easy
for you and will give you tools that include the following:
Extra Marketing features
Allows you to design and customize your eBay store—and gives you
the tools to do it!
Easier listing management tools
Toll-free customer support
Access to a store listing format to make listing your many items easier
Three subscription levels of differing prices, Basic, Premium and
Anchor. Each has different benefits and tools, with the Anchor store
the priciest option.
Buy It Now!
Another great way to become a top eBay seller is to become a seller that is
allowed to offer a fixed-price Buy-it-now price.
This enables you to set a fixed price that you will sell at which a buyer can
then meet and the auction is over! The plus side to this is that you get your
money sooner, rather than waiting for the end of the auction cycle and your
buyers get their items faster.
If you have a lot of merchandise this is a good way to get it moving and if
you have a product that’s in high demand it boosts your chances of making
more sales in a shorter period of time.
Upgrade and Multiple List
If you want to make more sales on eBay, then you have to take advantage
of their multiple listing categories. This puts your merchandise in front of
more buyers, rather than just setting it up under one category.
It’s also a good idea to use eBay’s feature upgrades, like putting your text in
bold, highlighting your words and even putting up extra pictures to catch the
eyes of potential buyers. Again, use the search options to see what
successful sellers are using to attract more customers. This will increase
your chances of getting a sale, and that’s a good thing.
Use a Shorter Auction Cycle and Offer
Guarantees
The last two tips I have for you to become a top eBay seller is to use a
shorter auction cycle and offer money back guarantees.
Using a shorter cycle, three days instead of five, means that you’ll get your
money faster, potentially make more sales and perhaps reach a larger
customer base. Offering a guarantee will ease a potential buyer’s mind about
whether or not they should make the purchase. They know that if the item
isn’t to their liking, they can return it.
Find YOUR Pot of Gold on eBay!
It’s a matter of record that eBay has revolutionized the online buying
experiences. Some say it’s the world’s biggest garage sale—and on some
level that might be true. But eBay has also become synonymous with
selling, buying, making money and much, much more.
If you’ve ever considered becoming a seller on eBay you should spend some
time visiting there and reading up on their rules and then search for things
that you might wish to sell. Start out part time and build up over time as
you learn from the See what other sellers are doing and how successful they
are at what they do. Take advantage of eBay’s tutorials, you can even
purchase DVD’s to help increase your knowledge and therefore your ability
to become a Top Seller on eBay.
As I said before, knowledge is power and power translates into success as a
Top eBay Seller.
