But suppose you
create things that are just like items being listed on eBay by other sellers.
What can you do to create success?
Create a better
looking auction, including great photos. Yes, you need to be different and
unique, but more importantly....you need to look professional.
Over the past five
years of selling on eBay, I have tried various listings using the same item at
the same time. I wanted to see what I changed in each listing making sure that
it each one was different. What listing got the most bids?
If you guessed that
my auction listings with a professional and unique design did best, you're
right. My professional looking auctions ended up with 40% more bids. Imagine
that! I was selling exactly the same item. The only thing I changed was the
design of the auction page.
I proved to myself
that how your auction looks and feels can make a huge difference in the
ending selling price.
If the auction
listing looks nice, then the logic of your customer's brain says, "Wow, this
item has to be good" - and there's a much greater chance that your viewer will
click on the "Bid Now" or "Buy It Now" button. I have seen that happen so many
times.
If you use a
professional looking eBay auction template for your listings, you will be
surprised how this can boost your eBay sales. Why not try modifying your auction
templates and see which one does better. A tiny change can make a huge
difference. Do an experiment and keep track of which auction and which template
generates the most money for you.
You'll see that some
templates do really well and some don't. Be creative and modify your templates.
But be careful! Don't overdo it by using overly bright colors and fonts. Give
your auction listing a lot of white space. It's easier on the eyes to read an
auction that is not cluttered.
