Marketing Tip - for those who sell on Ebay and other websites

This is something I learned during my years of selling on Ebay. When I take this tip to heart, my auction sales are much better. When I don't, I don't do as well.

When describing your item, talk to your buyer as if they're sitting across the table from you and you're telling them about the item. Write complete sentences and check your spelling. This presents a professional image that, as a buyer, helps me to not only bid in the first place, but also bid higher as well. And never, ever, ever write listings up when you are feeling negative, blue, or ticked off at the world! It will show through – I tested this and I learned it the hard way. It has been proven to me over and over again if I write listings when feeling a bit “blah” – my mood shows through, and my overall bids are lower. When I am positive, and feeling UP and excited about the item I’m selling, this shows and my bids go higher as a result. So if you aren’t feeling quite so cheery, wait to write up those listings until you’re feeling better!
