eBay seller make mistakes out of laziness. If you are selling something on eBay you have to take some time to do it right. The following list are things you just should NOT do:

1. Using colored backgrounds that make it harder to read the text in your eBay auctions.

2. Using animated pictures to spruce up your eBay listings.

3. Charging extremely high shipping fees.

4. Writing meaningless or cute titles. I have seen titles like choo choo woo woo train set, and old train thing.

5. Little or no text describing the item. Text helps eBay searchers find your item, and lets bidders know what they are bidding on.

6. Overly wordy descriptions. I don't mean the actual item description, but rather the "rules" of the auction. At best this extra text is ignored, but it can also be confusing and drive bidders away.

7. Not including images, or telling bidders to email for a photo, or stating pictures will be added later.

8. Using poor quality pictures.

9. Including HUGE pictures that take minutes to download. This is a common mistake. No one will wait for your pictures to load.

Remember there is A LOT of competition out there, so take some time to do things right.
