How I Made Money Selling on Ebay
A short while back I was playing around on the internet when I decided to sell some model trains I had on Ebay. When I put the trains online, I noticed there were many other people selling the same trains I was selling.? With great interest I looked at these other sellers and began comparing how my items sold against their items.
I have to admit, I was doing things on the cheap. I put up only 3, maybe 4 pictures where others had 10 or 12. A lot of the sellers had a buy now button, I didn’t. Many had great feedback from customers, I had none to start with.
Most of the trains I sold as individual pieces. As the weeks progressed I began to get feedback from customers and surprisingly, the prices I was selling at were often higher than other, seemingly more experienced sellers. They certainly had more pictures and feedback than I did, yet I had higher bids.
When it was all over, I ended up with 100% positive feedback and a nice chunk of money. The key to my succes was in the customer feedback. Only a few things were important and believe it or not, price was not one of them.
Here is what the customers wanted.
- The number one factor was that the item bought was as described in my online description. I told them exactly what they were getting. I told the truth.
- The second factor was that the items were packed beautifully and securely (thanks to my girlfriend).
- Third was prompt delivery. That’s understandable.
- The last item mentioned by many was that we were nice people to deal with.
Which just goes to show, even online, people want to deal with a personality and a nice one at that. You can take that to the bank.
