UPS Store Danbury

1. Carefully inspect the item. Note any flaws, wear, or damage. Unless the item\'s value would decrease with cleaning, remove any dust, stains, or dirt. Take pictures of the item. Always list a photo in your eBay.com auction, even if its a stock picture from the Internet. A good picture enables potential buyers to see exactly what they are bidding on in a single glance. Be sure to take photos of any flaws or markings.

2. Write a title and description for your listing. List concise specs and details of your eBay.com item in the description. Is the item you\'re posting on eBay new or just opened and never used or in fair condition? These seemingly small details can often make the difference in a higher bid for your product.

3. In the title, include the name of the item and any keywords buyers might use to search for the item.

4. In the description, describe the item clearly, accurately, and completely. Include information about the condition, color, brand, product type, model, size, and style of the item. Be sure to proofread and spell-check both the title and the description. Learn more about writing a good title and description.

5. Research the item on eBay. Use the completed listings search to find similar items that have recently sold on eBay. Notice the starting and ending price of items that have sold successfully and whether they are auctions or Buy It Now listings. This information can help you decide how to sell your item.

6. If you have your own website, link to your ebay item to get extra traffic.

7. Package and weigh your item. Don\'t lose money on this part!! Consider packaging and weighing your item. When you list your item, you can enter the package size and weight to have eBay automatically calculate shipping costs for you and your buyers. Use our shipping cost calculator to help you verify the shipping costs. We are happy to help!


8. Mention comments in your follow up e-mail after your eBay.com auction is closed. Example:
I sent your item today via UPS Overnight. I hope you enjoy it. I appreciate any positive ebay feedback you may want to leave and I plan to do the same for you as well.

9. Send the merchandise only after you have received payment for your eBay.com auction item, even if it\'s from a family member.

10. Leave comments only after the eBay.com buyer confirms receipt of the product, either via e-mail or the eBay.com comments form.
