Sourcing items, researching prices and creating listings can be very time consuming, so it is important to get it right from the word go. I\u2019ve been having a look at the worst mistakes you can make on eBay and come up with the terrible top ten!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. People can\u2019t find your item<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to eBay, sell to the lowest common denominator of people you can think of. By that, I mean make it completely obvious what you are selling and why anyone should buy from you. You need to get the title right, make sure the item description is clear and that you have placed the product in the right category.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_620\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/prod_8053_240x240.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-620\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/prod_8053_240x240-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"iPad Covers\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-620\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">iPad Covers<\/p><\/div>For starters, pick the right category. Take a moment to quickly research which categories your item generally appears in. People will search there first. Your title should include words that potential customers will place in the search box on eBay. Take this Wholesale Clearance item for example, *One Off* Wholesale Lot of 100 iPad 2, 3, 4 Silicone Colour Protective Covers, which is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/one-off-wholesale-lot-of-100-ipad-234-silicone-colour-protective-covers.htm\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>Rather than have a title that says something like \u2018<strong>Multi-coloured iPad cover\u2019 <\/strong>be more specific. Try \u2018<strong>Protective silicone cover iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4 Purple Blue Pink Colour\u2019 <\/strong>instead. This way your item will turn up in a dozen different searches, such as a Purple iPad 3 cover or Blue iPad 4 protective cover. The more specific you are the more likely your item will turn up in searches nearer the top and 6-8 times more people will see it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Description<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the description you should aim to cover everything. Don\u2019t write great long paragraphs but do include as much detail as possible. Describe all the features, the size, what it is made of, how washable, durable, and useful it is. Let the buyer know how quickly you can send it out. If it is brand new and unused say so. If it has flaws describe them. The more honest you are the more likely you are not to get lumbered with returns. <\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Pricing<\/strong><br \/>\nDo your research and find out what other people charge for items similar to yours. Deduct fees and see what profit they are making. Can you compete? Don\u2019t sell at a loss. Better to just sit on the products for a time. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Hidden charges<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Factor in everything that you need to charge and include that in the asking price if it\u2019s a \u2018Buy it Now\u2019 product, or the reserve if it\u2019s an auction. If you are charging for petrol, packaging, parking, handling etc. \u2013 that all needs to go into the asking price and not into the postage. Buyers will be put off by excess postage. Don\u2019t forget to work out how much eBay will take in terms of commission via final valuation fees and PayPal fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Shipping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Royal Mail has just changed their pricing strategy and some of their charges have doubled for large light packages, which will affect you if you sell clothes, soft toys and textiles. Shop around. You can get some great deals from private delivery companies. Ebay is very keen on \u2018free shipping\u2019 which we all know is not free for anyone. You still have to pay postage and you will obviously recoup that from your buyer, so eBay isn\u2019t kidding anyone on that! You will have to make that money somewhere. If you are offering shipping and hiding the price within the cost of your product, don\u2019t forget that eBay will take final valuation fees on that also.<\/p>\n<p>Do some research and offer a number of options to your buyers. Don\u2019t add on loads of cost to the buyer as they will get fed up and shop elsewhere.  Finally, make it clear you ship in X amount of days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_619\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Floating-rubbish-dump-AAP-5872839.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-619\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Floating-rubbish-dump-AAP-5872839-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"This is a rubbish picture\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-619\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is a rubbish picture<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>6.

Your policies and procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being clear and transparent about your terms and conditions is one thing, but being assertive to the point of dictatorship is just a no-no! You don\u2019t need to say \u2018All non-paying buyers will be reported!\u2019 as that will just make you sound like a petulant teenager. Of course you want to hire a dalek and exterminate non-payers, but you\u2019re a grown up and a professional, so let\u2019s just take that as read, shall we? Common courtesy costs nothing and you\u2019re running a business.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot say that you don\u2019t accept returns or that you accept no responsibility for lost or damaged goods, because unfortunately, you do. You don\u2019t have a legal leg to stand on if something goes missing or gets damaged in the post. You are legally obligated to supply the buyer with the goods described.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Ignorance is not bliss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always answer any questions you are asked, speedily and honestly. Never leave a potential buyer in the lurch. Answer politely, however blunt and rude the buyer may seem. <\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Misspellings<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you spell an item incorrectly in your title it will be unlikely to turn up in a search. I&#8217;ve just seen a listing for a dinning table. It may or may not be related to a dining table, but whatever you do, spellcheck!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you have any other tips?
