Add You - Top 10 Reasons Your Ebay Auction Is Terrible - Part 1
Did you really want to come back to work this week? Did you dread the very thought of it? Maybe you should consider quitting and go freelance! Sound irrational? Not really…you just need a plan.Several years back I decided to quit my job and do just that. I found some part-time freelance work late in July and decided that I would quit my (more than) full-time job. I figured that we could live on that part-time income for a while until I found another job (because I was working so much that I didn’t even have time to look for a new job!)Then something interesting happened. Within e
If you don't use HTML or pictures in your auctions you need to take the next step now. There are many eBay sellers who still use simple text in their product descriptions, and many do have success, but they stand to lose business if they don't adapt.

On a daily basis, we are all customers but what is customer service? The Encarta Online Dictionary describes customer service as: "business department dealing with customers: a department of a business that deals with complaints from or disputes with customers, or that handles routine inquiries from callers." Two online quotations from Encarta’s Encyclopedia Reference File deserve repeating. They are: “The customer is always right,” and “Service is what the typical American businessman would do his best to render even if there weren’t a cop or preacher in sight.”As consumers we've all experienced g
Here's a top 10 list of reasons why some auctions don't get noticed and don't get bids:
PROBLEM #10: You are in the wrong category.
Every time you put something up for sale on eBay you are forced to choose a category. Choosing the wrong category can cause you problems. While your auction will still "go live" if you choose the wrong category, it won't get as much attention as it would if you had used the correct category. Also keep in mind that occasionally eBay will even end an auction that is listed in the wrong category.
While it's true that most shoppers on eBay use the keyword search feature of eBay to find what they are looking for you must be aware of the fact that more and more shoppers are using the category search feature when shopping. This means you need to have your item in the correct category when setting up your auction.
TIP: To quickly determine what category to place your item in simply search for items similar to yours on eBay and see what category was used by the other sellers. The assigned category of any auction item is always at the top of the listing auction just below the ten digit item number.
PROBLEM #9: Your auction is unappealing to the eye.
You don't have to be an artist with a college degree in marketing to have success on eBay, but you do have to be mindful of the appearance of your auctions. Being mindful of the overall color scheme and appearance of your ad you will improve your final results.

If there is one certainty in life, it's that no two people are exactly alike. Even twins have their differences. Some people enjoy structure and the concept of a corporate environment while others look for alternatives to regular jobs. There are even a few people who prefer a steady paycheck, but want to have flexibility, too.Where do you see yourself in this spectrum?Working for established companies has a variety of pluses, such as health benefits, opportunities for advancement and a solid reference on your resume. If you choose to work for a small business, you can gain a great deal of

It is no secret that surgeons earn a hefty $189,590 annual salary on an average in the United States today. But the most unexpected news is the salaries of physicians assistants whose yearly average annual salary is an astonishing $63,490. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that their minimum qualification is a college degree and in addition a mandatory accreditation course. It is interesting to know which jobs are the top 10 paying ones in America. There are many surveys producing different results. Although there are some minor differences, most of them agree at least 7 out of 10 times.The Best

Here, I will share my experience with you on the decorum required. I learnt what not to do from my first conference call and what to do from the second.My first experience with a conference call was on sales strategy with corporate office. I logged into the conference bridge as per the agreed schedule, but soon realized that most of the other attendees were late. Some people I could not identify were talking, adding to the noise in the background. Some were even eating and drinking maybe tea or coffee, making the environment less than business-like. To top it all, I found the leader had no control ov

How to get published is the foremost issue that one should have to cope with when printing a book. It is said to be the most essential thing that you should think about in book printing. For some people book printing is an effortless task. But in reality it isn’t. It is a complicated process especially for a first-time publisher. It is a challenging job that you should face if you really want to have your book be read by your target market.Ideally, if you want to be sure about the result of your book printing project, you must look for a reliable printer who will handle your project. There are severa

Also, if you begin running more than two or three auctions at a time you will see the value in using an auction management service like "Listd.com" to manage your auctions and keep them all looking great with minimal effort.
PROBLEM #8: You aren't making it immediately obvious what you are selling.
There are many things that can be said under this heading, but let's just list a few pointers.
-For nearly any item you are attempting to sell you'll need a nice photo in your listing. That's the best way to make it very clear for your customer what item is up for auction. The "How to add photos" tutorial on eBay is a great place to start if you are unfamiliar with what it takes to add photos to your auctions:

-Be descriptive in your listing and tell the reader IMMEDIATELY what they are buying. After you've given a short description of your item list the features/flaws etc.
-DON'T use cute animations or musical special effects in your auction listings. Not everyone has a cable modem or DSL connection! Too many graphics in your auctions will cause the auction to load slowly on many computers with slower Internet connections. This will almost certainly make you miss out on potential bids.
PROBLEM #7: Your feedback rating on eBay is too low or too negative.
If you are new to eBay and still have a (0) next to your eBay ID it means you don't have any feedback yet. You can get some feedback and experience by buying anything (and paying for it) or by selling some in demand items. In order to gain the trust of the massive "eBay family" you need to complete a few basic transactions. Each transaction offers you the chance to get and give feedback to the other party.
