Hello

Thank you for reading this guide, I'm not used to doing this but I really had to tell others a few things that have been going around in my mind.

Things you can do

1.  Post your item(s) with all the correct spelling also make sure there are pictures.

2.  Always send out a personal msg when you ship out a item using Pay-Pal.(it makes an impression)

3.  Always be polite with any Ebay user(even if they are far from nice to you).

4.  Always start out your items very low, doing this catches alot more people to look and hopefully bid on your auctions(most normal people look at the lowest priced item 1st and normally try to win it)

5.  When you word a auction use words that "POP" and are eye catching

6.  Always try to leave a positive feedback, they bought something from you and you want them back this is one way they remember you(alot of people do NOT belive in giving feedback anymore unless negitives).

7.  Enter the most you are willing to pay for the item(including the shipping, ins. and everything else with the first bid), you do not want to get caught up in a bidding war at the last moments of a auction you'll regret it!

8.  Look at all the listings of a certain item you want, there are bargains out there.

9.  ALWAYS look at the sellers feedback it tells alot about haw they do bussiness.

10.  ALWAYS look at what the seller is charging for shipping and look to see if there are anymore hidden fees(some sellers have hidden fees). 

11. ALWAYS state any damage that a item has(DO NOT live by the if they don't ask don't tell tell theory).

Things to avoid doing

1.  DO NOT SELL JUNK!!

2.  ALWAYS tell the truth about a item, NEVER LIE ABOUT A ITEM.

3.  DO NOT start your item out high the higher the price the less hits your auction will get, and may even chase away buyers.

4.  DO NOT get in a bidding war for a item, you almost always pay alot more than you really wanted to pay for the item.

5.  DO NOT buy a "untested" or "as-is" item when you really want something that is good or working(unless you REALLY do know how to work on that type of item!).

6.  DO NOT take personal checks(this can break your bank account)

7.  DO NOT greatly over charge on shipping(most people will understand a dollar or two for your supplies i.e bubble wrap, tap, etc. and esp. fuel).

Well that is all that comes to mind right now.  I hope this was helpful and please if it was helpful let Ebay know by voting "Rock The Vote".  Thank you, game_stash
