Hey, want to learn how to get to a 'powerseller' just a little faster...Then take a look at these top 30 tips/tricks to help get you there.  Trust me here, I got it in three months!!

1. Buyers Demand Easy Payment Options.  Offer whatever means possible, don't limit your opportunities...
2. PayPal.  Over 75% of eBayer's use PayPal, so use IT!
3. 'Can' your E-mail.  Answer as many questions as possible in you listing! Avoid the hassle of answering repetitive questions > Use the time wisely!!
4. Automate to the Max.  Get more things done with less time.
5. Honesty is the Best Policy.  Enough said!
6. Price straight auctions low, to start a crowd.
7. A picture says it all!
8. Remember to say Thanks.  You can't thank your buyer enough for their business.  Heck, there are millions of sellers selling just about the same thing you are...consider yourself lucky, they chose you!
9. Make you description complete.
10. Don't overcharge on shipping.  You know, it's the most common reason negative feedback is left!
11. Be cautious; try to work out your differences before leaving negative feedback.
12. Use delivery confirmation.  Avoid fraud from both sides, charge a bit more confirmation.  Buyer's won't mind paying a little more to have their minds at ease.
13. Your Listing Schedule.  Start your auctions at peak time...say, between 7 - 9pm EST.  You'll be gauranteed a few more watchers, as a result, a few more bids too!
14. Double-check you Title.  Buyers mainly use the search engine to locate their item of intersest, not spending time locating the right catogory.
15. Online Customer Service.  Your customers are EVERYTHING, just try running a business without them??
16. Watch Wording.  Snipers don't have the time to email you asking for vauge info.  These buyers only look at items going off auction that day.  Be careful using the wrong words, it will backfire!
17. Know your Product.  If you describe your items wrongly, some buyers will be leery of bidding.
18. Include shipping costs in descriptions - You'll get more bids if the buyer knows what he/she is bidding on!
19. Insurance.  The beauty of #12 - Delivery Confirmation > insurance is included in the price.
20. Stay in contact with your buyer.  Emailing once you have shipped the item will give the buyer peace of mind.  They will re-pay you with feedback and/or repeat business.
21. Keep your auctions going!  Never give out a BIN price or end early.  You know most bidders will wait last minute.
22. Gallary - ALWAYS use gallery, you can't go wrong for .35! 65% if bidders will literally ignore listings without a picture on the side.
23. Avoid Private & Reserve auctions.  You want to sell your item and you know your item will sell, so...let it SELL! It will usually go higher than you were hoping for.
24. Switching Catergories.  So, you got 'no bids'? Still have some time left in your auction? Swtich catogories, there is more than likely one or two more catogories you can place your item under.
25. Use counters.  Know what is underperformming and try to make adjustments to improve your unique hits.
26. 'Me' Page.  Create one, it's and even better idea for those who haven't built enough of a customer base.  It brings honesty and trust to potential buyers.
27. List in $US$  Since the bulk of buyers are American, listing in US$ isn't such a bad idea!
28. Combine Shipping.  People...customers are everything!  They are willing to buy not one, but two or more items from you.  WOW! the least you can do is try to save them some money!
29. *Asterisks* - Don't want your item to go unnoticed along with the thousands of others out there.  Well, try using these, here look: ******ANCIENT COINS******.  Told you!
30. Mister Lister! Huh? Use listing programs, there are tons of these programs out there that will create nice auction pages for you.  Their free and it will get you one step closer to automation.

Here's to hoping all goes well for you!

Warmly,
