What to look for before selling on eBay

To begin with, the process of selling items on eBay is a serious business and must be approached responsibly.

There are two types of sellers on eBay: people who want to sell unnecessary items, and people who are professionally involved in selling goods online. This article is equally useful for both, since the essence of the process does not change. The difference is that in the second case, you have to put in more effort. But the profit will be much higher.

Initially, the site runs on English language, but for convenience, you can switch to Russian. The language change button is located at the top right. Before starting work, be sure to read the site rules. You need to know and follow them without fail if you expect to sell successfully on eBay.

If the rules are violated - it doesn't matter whether on purpose or out of ignorance - the account will be blocked, and after that you won't sell anything.

registration

The first step is to create account... The registration process is simple and unlikely to give you any trouble. But there are several aspects worth paying special attention to.

First of all, think carefully about your login. When a buyer is in correspondence with you, the first thing he will pay attention to is the name. And if you specify a set of unreadable characters, then it is unlikely that this will inspire confidence in a potential buyer.

In addition, pay attention to the fact that buyers from all over the world are registered on eBay, so do not choose anything as a login that could cause negative associations from a representative of a certain country.

The best option is to enter your real name. But if for some reason you do not want to do this, choose a representative and official nickname that will inspire confidence in buyers.

If you suddenly want to change your login, you can do this no more than 1 time in 30 days. Plus, don't get carried away if your store has regular customers - in this case, they may not find you when they need it.

It is advisable to add a photo to the profile, people tend to trust such accounts, because it becomes clear that on the other side of the screen a real man... The photo should be moderately official, although a smile on it does not hurt.

Be sure to enter your work email, which you have constant access to. It is better that you receive notifications about new letters. The fact is that you will receive email notifications about users who are interested in your product, about new messages on the site and about new questions about the product. The speed of your responses determines whether the person buys from you or another seller. And if a competitor responds faster than you, then you will lose a buyer.

The phone number that you enter on the site must also be working and active. It is needed to restore access to your account if you forget your password or your account is hacked by scammers.

Finally, you need to get an account with payment system PayPal. Buyers can pay with a Visa card. In theory, sellers also have this opportunity, but in practice it is very inconvenient to use the card, there are problems with the withdrawal of funds, and so on. All serious sellers on eBay use PayPal exclusively.

Features of selling on eBay

So you've signed up for eBay. How do I start selling products on eBay?

Before placing items for sale, it is recommended that you first place a few orders yourself. Why is this needed?

The fact is that by buying real goods, you prove to the site administration that you are not a fraud. You show that you are an ordinary person who wants to sell your item on eBay and have already gained experience of buying on the site. Without this, the account may even be blocked on suspicion of fraud. In addition, with these purchases, you will gain your first rating and receive positive reviews from sellers, thereby increasing the confidence of future buyers. From a seller with a zero rating and no reviews, hardly anyone will want to buy.

In order not to spend a lot of money, order several inexpensive, but necessary lots, and then proceed to design your own store.

What do you need to know before you start selling?

  1. Carefully study the available product categories and choose the most suitable one for your product.
  2. Study the prices of competitors for similar products and set an adequate cost.
  3. When specifying characteristics, indicate everything as accurately and correctly as possible. Pay attention to the features that make your product stand out from its peers.
  4. Be sure to write down all the flaws and defects. If the buyer finds an unreported defect upon receipt, the buyer is fully entitled to a refund.
  5. Exhibit high quality photos, on which the product is visible, preferably from different angles.
  6. Include in the price all expenses, including commission and delivery, so that later there will be no confusing moments.
  7. In the name of the product, write down the keywords and the most important characteristics.

When composing an ad, look at other offers of similar products and, based on them, make out your lot. Remember that you need to describe everything reliably, indicating the advantages and disadvantages. eBay cares about all parties to the transaction, so it is closely monitored to ensure that buyers and sellers comply with the terms in good faith. If you keep silent about product defects or describe it inaccurately, and the buyer will end up unhappy, there is a risk that the administration will block your account. At a minimum, you will have to refund for it, plus the buyer may leave you negative feedback, which will negatively affect your reputation.

The process of listing for sale

We've covered all the nuances you need to consider before selling on eBay. Let's move on directly to how to display the product for sale.

So, to place a product, click "Sell" or "Sell" at the top of the screen. First of all, enter the title of the future ad - if anything, then you can change it. Write short name goods. At this stage, the main thing is that it is clear what you are selling. Do not forget that the title is written in English. It is best to include the most key information in the title: the name of the product, its condition and the category.

According to the entered title, you will be offered a choice of the most suitable product categories. You need to put the one that suits the most - it depends on how many users will see your ad.

If the search did not give you the category you want, find it manually. To do this, go to the "Browse categories" tab and select a category yourself.

The next step is product description. First, choose a way to create your description - easy or complex. They differ in that in difficult way more sections with information and more photos to attach. After choosing a method, proceed with the actual description.

Please select the status of the item below. There are four options available:

  • "Brand new" - new;
  • "New in box" - new in the box;
  • "Used" - used;
  • "Used very nice" - used, but in perfect condition.

Next, add a photo. Minimal amount- 1, limit - 12. It is better to add as many photos as possible showing the product from different angles so that the person has a clear idea of ​​what he is buying. Try to take photos yourself, and do not insert photos of the same goods, then you will immediately see that you are selling a real thing.

The next stage is filling technical characteristics... This part is very specific to each product, so there is no one-size-fits-all advice here. Truthfully fill in all the information, and if you do not know any technical characteristics, look in the ads with the same goods. If that doesn't work for you, it's best to just leave the fields blank.

Then enter a text description. You can copy it from another ad that sells the same product, or write it yourself. If you copy text, reread it carefully so that false or inaccurate information does not crept in there. But it is still recommended to compose the text yourself.

This text should contain a description of the operation and condition of the goods, as well as the terms of delivery and return. Write here about how you accept payment, to which countries you do not ship the goods (if any), whether the buyer will receive a tracking number and other similar nuances.

Finally, on the last stage you are required to enter all information regarding the financial relationship between the seller and the buyer, namely:

  • type of sale;
  • price;
  • delivery method;
  • the processing time of the order;
  • possibility of return.

Let us dwell on the first point in more detail. What are we talking about?

The point is that there are several types of trading on eBay. The first type is sale at a fixed price. The scheme is as follows: you list the goods, determine the price, if the buyer agrees with the price, he clicks "buy", after which the goods are considered sold.

The second type is the auction. The seller who puts the item up for auction only determines the minimum cost and duration of the auction. During this time, everyone offers their price. The only condition is that this price must be higher than the last one offered. After the expiration date, the lot goes to the user who offered the highest price.

The third type is the reverse auction. In another way, this type of sales is called "make offer". Unlike a regular auction, users do not offer a higher price, but, on the contrary, knock it down. But the winner is not the one who offers the most low price, but the one whose terms the seller accepts.

Choose the option that works best for you. Then indicate the cost. If you are selling at a fixed price, then put it. For the auction, mark the lower price threshold, and for the “make offer”, set the desired size, but be ready to bargain.

To choose a delivery method, you need to switch to a complicated ad compilation option, even if before that you filled out everything in a simplified one. The fact is that only American postal services are available in the simplified editor.

To switch, click "Switch to form with more choices" - this link is located at the very top of the form. After switching, scroll down again, reach the choice of the delivery method and indicate the city from which the goods will be shipped. After that you will have all available ways delivery, from which choose the most suitable.

As you probably already know, before you can list your product for sale, you need to register on the online auction eBay and become a "Seller".

First of all, think carefully about all the details. Never act at random. Weigh the pros and cons before placing your lot. Remember - there are millions of experienced Sellers on eBay, and if you make a mistake, they will buy from them rather than from you. Flip through similar items, study prices, competition, customer habits, read this book, forums and only then can you start.

The best place to start is shopping, because no one will deal with a Seller who has a zero rating. If you feel that you are ready to put up an item for sale, click on the "Sell" button at the top of any auction page.

Choosing the Selling Format

On the initial stage you must choose the format of the auction - this is a set of specific rules according to which the sale of goods will be carried out. You choose between Auction Style (the lot will be traded) or Fixed Price (the lot is sold at a fixed price, no bargaining). If you have selected an auction, your choice is offered by: standard auction, reservation price auction, Dutch auction, private auction. You will learn more about each of them in the article: Types of auctions.

Select the category (Category)

When placing an item for auction, you should already have a clear idea of ​​which category to place your lot in. The easiest way to determine this is to conduct a mini-research and determine in which of the categories / subcategories the the largest number products similar to yours. If there is more than one such category, you can place your lot in two subcategories for a small fee. But do not place a lot in a category that is definitely inappropriate for it - such a lot will be withdrawn from the auction, and for systematic violation of the rules for placing a lot, your account may be blocked.

Create an effective title and description

Effective headline- one of the key factors contributing to the successful sale of goods. Please note that most Buyers will find your item through search engine auction, so your title should contain as many keywords as possible. You can gain a lot of useful information by entering keywords into the auction search engine and looking at the lots of competitors. Be sure to make sure that the grammar of your title is correct and that it does not contain errors, otherwise it will simply not be found. Same, experienced users often use a special paid service"EBay Keywords", which shows your mini-banner to potential buyers if they entered at least one of the keywords you paid for in the search bar (payment is made per click).

Html... If you are familiar with the basics of HTML, you are encouraged to type a lot in the built-in HTML editor. Alternatively, you can do HTML layout on your computer and then just paste the code into the window. If you are planning to start a serious business on sales, then the basics of HTML will definitely not hurt you.

Starting price and product images

Enter the Start Price. This is not as easy as it sounds. If you start trading with a symbolic amount, then there is always the possibility that the final price will not suit you. And if you overestimate it too much, your lot may simply not be bought. Try to balance the starting price and make it the optimal starting price. It's good if you provide an opportunity for buyers to buy goods immediately without bargaining, using a paid option.

Determine the duration of the auction. It can be 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. Many sellers try to calculate the duration of the trades so that their end falls on the weekend, when the Buyers' activity is the highest. Also, don't forget about the time difference. If your target audience is Americans, then it makes no sense to place a lot in the early Moscow morning, because the difference averages -10 hours and in the USA it is deep night at this time. It is optimal to place a lot when target audience the height of the day.

Determine the country where the product is located.

Finally, you have to choose which of the additional paid options you would like to use. And this is the highlighting of the title in bold, the image next to the title in the auction list, underlining the title, etc. Many of them are sometimes quite helpful. Check out all and choose the ones you need.

More detailed information about the cost of additional services eBay auction, such as eBay Picture Services, eBay Seller Tools, Listing Upgrade etc., as well as the cost of services for eBay Motors, on the eBay Stores and on eBay Real Estate you can inquire directly on the eBay website, under the "Seller Assistance" section,.

Instructions

But for a Russian user, it is not entirely convenient, because all calculations within it are made in the PayPal payment system, which is not for Russian market... Therefore, the Russians have to give most their income for intermediary services for the transfer and cashing of funds. But there are high-quality and also well-proven Russian counterparts of Ebay, such as Hammer and Avito.

What kind of goods are traded in the world, inflating their prices and constantly competing with other products for popularity and sales. Everything from cosmetics to grains finds a buyer today - so what is the best-selling product?

Black gold

According to the publication of world prices and data from the international exchange NYMEX Division light, the best-selling commodity in the world is crude oil - an oily black liquid with flammable properties. The composition of this mineral includes various carbons with a wide variety of structures - their molecules can be either long or normal, branched or closed in rings, etc. The distillation of crude oil produces products such as fuel oil, gasoline, lighting kerosene and jet fuel.

Oil can be dissolved in organic solvent however, it almost never dissolves in water.

Also in the composition of crude oil in small quantities are sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen compounds. Basically, it consists of hydrocarbon, asphalt and ash parts, as well as sulfur and porphyrins. Petroleum hydrocarbons are divided into naphthenic, methane and aromatic groups - it is the methane group that is the most stable, while the most unstable group is aromatic, contains a minimum of hydrogen and is the most toxic component of oil. The cost of oil is largely dependent on the presence of sulfur in it, since this widespread corrosive impurity must be removed during refining. As a result, the price of oil with a high sulfur content is much lower than the price of low-grained oil.

Crude oil characteristics

Crude oil is produced directly from boreholes passing through oil reservoirs. When leaving them, oil contains water, particles rocks, as well as gases and salts that are dissolved in it. These impurities significantly complicate the transportation and processing of oil, and also cause corrosion of metal parts of equipment. Therefore, in order to export or supply crude oil to remote refineries, crude oil must be processed industrially, removing all foreign matter from it.

The lightest hydrocarbons and gas must be separated from the composition of raw materials, since these valuable products are easily lost during storage.

Crude oil, cleaned of gases, water and impurities, is delivered to refineries, where it is processed and converted into various petroleum products. The quality of crude oil and products from it determines the composition of the raw material, on which the direction of its processing and the quality of final oil products depend.

Purchase and sale transactions are carried out daily and everywhere. Usually, the buyer purchases a product with a clearly fixed price. However, there are auctions - this is a type of economic transaction where the announced price often does not coincide with the final purchase price of the goods.

What is an auction

An auction is a public sale of goods, valuable papers, property of enterprises, works of art and other objects. Such a sale is carried out on established rules. The main principle auction - its competitiveness between buyers. During the bidding process, buyers compete for the right to purchase an item by offering their prices for the selected item. The criterion for determining the winner is the price. As soon as the winner of the competition is determined, the auction item is declared sold.

Auctions have existed since the time of the Roman Empire and were usually held after military victories. The term "auction" itself comes from english word auctionis, "increase" or "growth".

What is an English auction

There are eight main types of auctions. Of these, the most common and famous is the English auction. It is also called direct. The principle of this auction is based on the establishment of a minimum price, the so-called "starting" price. It is the starting point for further trades, during which buyers bargaining among themselves gradually increase it.

All incoming proposals are publicly announced. The final price is considered to be formed in the course of the auction and which was the maximum offer for the object of the auction.

The duration of the direct auction is fixed or the auction lasts until the end of the receipt of new bids. However, there is the concept of a reserve price, that is, the minimum cost for which the seller agrees to sell the product. If during the auction it remains unreached, the item is not sold.

There are two types of English auctions - direct and reverse. In a direct auction, prices rise according to the offer of the bidder or at the request of the auction participants. The highest bidder is considered the winner. These auctions tend to sell unique items such as used items, collectibles, wines, and more.

In the reverse auction, the starting price is set by the buyer. And it is equal to the maximum price at which he agrees to purchase this product. And in this type of bidding, sellers compete, competing with each other. They make offers to the buyer. In this case, the price goes down, not up. This continues until there is a seller who is ready to sell his product at that price.

The eBay online auction is a platform where people from all over the world sell and purchase various goods. At the same time, it is an opportunity to earn money. Since 2014, it has appeared among Russian sellers, which means it's time to get acquainted with what and how to sell on eBay.
