One way to grow your business and establish your professionalism on eBay is to get business cards. This helps to seperate you from the eBay who operates more as a hobby.

I have two sets of business cards. One set I send along with all of my sold items. This card includes my contact information and a reminder for the bidder to leave feedback upon reciept. It also helps the buyer remember who I am for any future sales. I have gotten many nice compliments from buyers when they recieve their cards.

The second set of cards I use to market my consignment and bidding services. I take these with me to flea markets, gargage sales, etc and also hand them out to my friends and family. In the few short weeks that I have had this set of cards, I have gotten inquires from 4 different potential customer and sold 6 items for one of them.

Many places charge $30, $50, or more to print custom business cards. However, there is an online company called Vista Print that you can order free business cards, or for around $10 get a set of cards with custom colors and designs. I customized my cards with eBay colors and even ordered a set of matching return adress labels. Their shipping costs are reasonable and you usually recieve the items much sooner than advertised. Due to eBay rules, I can't give you their website address, but you can do an easy Google search for Vista Print.

I can't tell you how many nice compliments I recieve on the cards when buyers recieve their items or when I meet someone at a flea market, garage sale, etc.
