Atricle Dump - eBay Listing Tips from an eBay Master with over 10,000 items sold on eBay
If you run a business consulting service then you realize there is almost an unlimited amount of business out there, but most of it is very hard to get in your industry. This is because it is hard to convince people to hire outside consultants and some companies just won't do it. Meanwhile we also know that unless you are known in the industry think no one will seek you out for your consulting services.This is where good public relations and industry goodwill come in handy. A little bit of publicity will not hurt either and it pays to be an expert in your field and your

One of the most common issues I'm asked about is how to raise the profile of a business to attract more clients.This is an important issue no matter how small or large your business may be.For example I'm working with a client in Brisbane who is well established in their industry. They've been operating for many years and have a very good client satisfaction rate. However, their flow of new clients is very unpredictable. And there's still a heck of a lot of potential clients who don't even know this firm exists.So I've worked with them to create a program that
The buyers are on eBay for the great selection of newly listed items. The Sellers love eBay because they can get their item in front of a large interested audience.
EBay Fees are Important
The eBay fees work to increase traffic and keep junk from being relisted over and over if it doesn't sell. EBay has two main fees. The Listing Fee and the End of Auction Fee. They have several other fees involving how your auction item looks and how many pictures you have showing but let us focus on how the two main fees work to make eBay a great marketplace.
EBay Listing Fee
This was Yahoo's mistake. Most of the sellers on eBay do not like paying the listing fee so Yahoo eliminated it. The listing fee keeps the items available on eBay fresh. If you only charge a fee when an item sells then people put items up at high prices and list them over and over and the inventory clogs up with stuff that is too highly priced or nobody wants. Fresh items are guaranteed to be found on eBay because of the listing fee.
The listing fee adds up fast if you list an item a couple of times and it doesn't sell. List at too high a price or without enough information in the listing and it doesn't sell. Poor or no Pictures and your item won't sell.
The listing fee gives you an incentive to start the item as an auction and not as a fixed price item. The eBay listing fees go up significantly if you choose to put a minimum price on your item. I call it going naked when I list a Dell computer and start the bidding at .25 even though I need to get a minimum of $350 for it. If you take the time to write a good advertisement you can often get much more money than someone who has the same item but with a poorly written ad.
EBay Tips on End of Auction Fee
This fee is only charged when your auction ends successfully. The bid is higher than your minimum or above your starting bid. This is eBay sharing in your good fortune of selling your item.
Other Listing Fees
EBay has a whole bunch of different optional fees you can add to your listing to make it potentially more rewarding for you. My favorite upgrade is the Gallery Picture currently $0.35 extra. I generally avoid most of the other extra fees, feeling they are great for eBay but not better for me. EBay tips Save your money most of the little fees are a waste of money.
Gallery Pictures
Probably the best deal of the add-on fees is the Gallery fee. In my opinion the 35 cents extra for the Gallery fee is probably the best value. I don't have any faith in most of the other extras.
Great Photos make Great Auctions
I use a lot of photos in my auctions. The higher priced the item, I will put more pictures in the auction. I think on more expensive items it is really important to get some great high quality clear crisp pictures.

Recently, I wrote about about creating specific, compelling goals that pull you towards what you want in your business, career and life. It is important to have a goal written down, and it is equally as important to the write down the reasons why you want that specific goal. The drive to accomplish your goal is in the reasons why you want it. With a specific goal in mind you have your target, and by being conscious of your reasons, you will maintain the drive to accomplish it. The final thing you need is a plan. Some people are natural planners. They are a

Every new employee needs some type of training, and most employees benefit from ongoing training and learning. This training needs to be consistent, useful and easy for both the employee and the employer. It also needs to be convenient and cost effective. One way to accomplish this type of training is with the use of training videos. Training videos are an excellent training tool for businesses looking for customer service and sales skills, safety training, team building, and every other type of training you could possibly think of.

Leadership and ManagementLeadership and management skills are essential throughout our working life with leaders found in industry, commerce, sport, and even social settings. The aim is the same wherever they are found, leading a group towards a common goal or set of stated objectives.

Storing Pictures for eBay
You can store one picture on eBay for each auction. You will be charged 15 cents for extra pictures you post for your auction if you post them on eBay. I store all of my pictures on Photobucket.com. I currently have over 400 pictures stored there for my auctions for free. Storing Photos on Photobucket is free for about 800 small photos or $25 per year for unlimited storage. I first started using them in 2004. At that time it was free to store about 100 photos depending on the size of the photos. They load fast when you pull up an eBay auction. They are very simple to sign up for and use.
Sizing your Picture
The resolution of your photo is important. I set my camera to Email mode which takes pictures that are between 60kb and 90kb in size. This is important because on the higher settings my 5 megapixel camera takes photos that are up to 300kb in size. With 300kb photos your auction will load so slow that people will stop your auction from loading before they get to look at it because they do not want to wait. If the buyers have dial-up access this is even more important.
