Mistake #1
Selling with zero feedback. Begin your selling as a buyer.You can begin to gain good feedback using this method.
Mistake #2
Accepting cash in the mail as payment should never be done. You can not prove what amount was sent or received. You are asking for trouble.
Mistake #3
Fuzzy pictures. Try to get sharp and clear pictures to show your item at its best.
Mistake #4
No seller contact information in the listing. Make sure the buyer has a way to contact you, especially if they have a question or a winning bid.
Mistake #5
The price listed is dramatically high. Check other similar items to be sure you have not set your opening bid too high. You do not want to price yourself out before you even get started.
Mistake #6
A huge shipping fee is charged to make a lower sales price.Try to keep your shipping/handling fees as low as possible. No one wants to pay a $5.00 shipping fee on a $2.00 item.
Mistake #7
An unknown brand name and tag line as the title. If customers don’t know about the product they will not look at the item. Use more common words.
Mistake #8
Not responding to customer questions in a timly fashion. In this world of instant communication, your speedy response is important. No quick response, NO SALE! It's that simple.
