Establishing Credibility and Getting More Exposure on Ebay

Not getting enough "hits" on your auctions? Need more traffic and sales? There are many things you can do to increase your chances of success on Ebay. Here are a few quick tips on how to increase your sales and broaden your potential...

Using Ebay's Resources
Ebay has a lot of built in tools that you should be using to market yourself. Ebay's "About Me" page and "My World" page are great ways to advertise yourself and show what you do. Also, Ebay has customer service representatives who are willing to help you....USE THEM!!! :)

"About Me"
About Me Page

Create a Logo
Establish yourself and your identity. A good logo will stick fresh in the minds of your customers. Logos create the appearance of professionalism and adds to the overall look of your auction listings.

Open an Ebay Store
List your items in an Ebay store. I believe that Ebay offers a 30 day trial so you really have nothing to lose. List more items at a cheaper rate while increasing your exposure.

Ebay's Guides and Review Section
Contribute to the Guides and Review sections on Ebay. Not only are you helping out fellow Ebayers, but you are showing your customers that you know what you are talking about. I feel that this not only helps with exposure, but with credibility as well. Potential buyers may look at you and give you a shot because they know that you are serious about your business and the whole Ebay experience.

Start a Website
Web hosting has really become cheap over the years. Create a simple website on your own our get someone to do it for you. I made mine myself and try to promote it through the various resources on Ebay. This has really opened me up to a new potential pool of customers. I think a website also gives you more credibility and exposure.

I hope you found this little article helpful and I wish you all the best in your Ebay ventures!
