No matter how many times I see it happening, I’m
constantly amazed at the number of people who are
literally throwing money away by making incredibly
simple mistakes when they sell items in an online
auction.
Over the last seven years, I’ve been making a great
living buying and selling products on eBay and other
online auction sites, and I’ve perfected a technique
that pretty much guarantees anyone can start making a
profit right away. That technique starts with avoiding
mistakes like these -- mistakes I’ve seen people make
every day for those same seven years.
If you’re doing any of these four things, you’re
leaving money on the table with every single item you
sell.
* Listing an item at the wrong time. It’s a proven fact
more buyers browse Internet auction sites on Sunday
evenings than any other time during the week. If your
auction is scheduled to end at any other time than
Sunday evenings (specifically between 9 p.m. and 11
p.m. Eastern time), you’re not getting the maximum
exposure for your auction at a time when people are
most eager to buy.
* Not giving your photos the attention they deserve.
There are two common mistakes people make with the
photos they use to entice buyers on eBay. One is not
having enough pictures to accompany your item’s
description. Over the years, I’ve learned pictures of
your item are one of the most important components of
your sales page. (There are many reasons for this, but
I don’t have the space to go into much detail here.)
Multiple pictures from various angles will ALWAYS help
you get higher bids for your products. The second
mistake is not making sure the pictures are up and
running on whatever server you’re using BEFORE you list
your item. How many times have you been browsing an
auction site and seen a blank box where a picture of
the item should have been? That’s a seller who’s losing
money because of a very simple, and very common,
oversight.
* Using "Las Vegas style" listings. I’m sure you know
what I’m talking about here. A Las Vegas listing is one
that uses all kinds of flashing animation, multicolored
text and other bells and whistles in an attempt to
entice bidders. In fact, it does just the opposite.
Listings like these are distracting, hard to read, and
will always discourage people from bidding, resulting
in a lower final sales price. The descriptions that you
give of your item on your sales page ARE NOT designed
to get a buyer’s attention (you already have that if
they’ve clicked on your listing in the first place).
They should be designed to get someone to actually
place a bid.
* Using a reserve. Using a reserve to guarantee that
you’ll get a minimum price for an item will absolutely
kill your auction. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen too
many times to not accept this as a given. In fact, I

In 2006, Resolve to Leave the Office Earlier!This is the perfect topic for the first month of a brand new year!Staying late started innocently enough: “If I just stay a little later
today, I can catch up’ on this work I haven’t been able to get to.” Eight
hours went to nine. It became a habit. Then: “If I just take this reading
home with me, I can ‘catch up’ after the kids go to bed.” Nine hours went to
ten. You did this on a regular basis; 60-hour weeks became
any of these four things, you’re
leaving money on the table with every single item you
sell.

Small Business Marketing Secret #2: Marketing Is Like Fishing - You Need A HookWhen’s the last time you went fishing? Think back to that day. What did you use to fish? A pole, fishing line, bait, maybe a sinker and a bobber. Oh yeah…and a hook.You wouldn’t go fishing without the hook, would you? The hook is probably the most important part of the fishing process.The same is true in your advertising. If you want to be successful in advertising you have to resign your position as general mana

minimum price, simply set your starting price a little
higher.
