Using Ebay to buy and sell toys - part 2

Let’s look at the role of an Ebay seller in this post.

If you are a seller, always provide a very clear and close up photo of your product to attract the buyers.  Your product description needs to be as detailed as possible.  If your product is an used item (loose collectible toy), be truthful and declare every noticeable flaw you can detect on the toy.  If you do not wish to write so much, then at least provide many different angled shots of the toy.  This attention to details is likely to fetch more and higher bids if your product is highly sought after despite the flaws.  This also cuts down the need to reply emails from buyers enquiring the detailed product condition. 

Calculate the approximate shipping costs, for local and overseas to reduce the number of such incoming enquiries too.  If you do not ship overseas, then declare this clearly on your auction page.  Last but not least, list the payment methods that you accept.  My recommendation is to have a Paypal Premier account that accepts credit card payments .  Each time you receive a payment in your Paypal Premier account, Paypal will deduct a small transaction from the incoming amount and you receive the remainder.  Do note that there will also be Ebay fees deducted from each successful Ebay sale.
