When you’re ready to list more things to sell, make a trip to your to-be-listed inventory and grab the things you need to sell. Transfer them to your computer’s area so you can get pictures and write up the auctions.

Here’s a Great Tip That Even Many PowerSellers Overlook

   Look for similarities in the items you sell.

   Even if everything you sell is unique, often items relate to one another somehow.

   When we list rare books, we try to list them in groups of subjects that relate to each other if possible. For example, we often sell books about the Civil War. If we have 30 books to sell and 7 of them are related to the Civil War, we always make sure we list the Civil War books on the same day.

   Then, in each Civil War book auction, we will reference the other Civil War books we’re selling and promise our bidders reduced combined shipping charges if they win more than one book.

   Buyers end up bidding on several of the Civil War books and often winning several because they know they’ll benefit from lower shipping costs when we can mail several instead of one at a time.

   As a syndicated newspaper columnist about eBay, as well as a trainer on using Direct Marketing techniques to boost eBay sales, I run into lots of eBayers who have sold for a long time but don't understand the importance of batching like items in the same series of auctions. If you want more money then you need to do this the very next time you post some auctions.
