Maximising Your eBay Auctions Sales

It is true that your selling prices in eBay are pretty much out of your control, but there are certain things that you can do to maximise your eBay sales.

1. Don't start with a high bidding price. This will turn away people as they will think that they won't get a good deal. From my experience, low bidding price will almost always produce better sales since your potential buyers will be watching these items and there will be fierce competition just few minutes before the eBay auction end. Experienced eBay bidder will bid only when the auction come close to the end as they don't want to drive the price up.

2. Make sure your auctions end at the right time. This is crucial. I have seen so many people ignoring the importance of this and get only low number of bids and consequently low sales price. It is important that you don't make the same mistake. Remember that most people will not go to eBay when they are working during the day. So make sure that your eBay auctions end when most people are home, that is at night during weekdays or in the weekends. Keep this always in your mind when you are posting your eBay actions.

3. Attract more potential eBay buyers with listing upgrades, but make sure you keep track of eBay fees eBay's got lots of upgrades to make your listing look more attractive and different from most people's listing in hope of attracting more buyers. Feel free to use these upgrades but don't overdo it. It's very easy to get carried on with these upgrades and you might end up handing over all your profits to eBay.
