Hi,
I have been selling for awhile. And I have checked out this site and I would like to give you all a little advice. I have noticed that not to many people have any sales. I would try to start out selling things that people would want to buy but it doesn't matter if you make a profit off it. Start your auction at .99 offer combined shipping. You want to get some sales under your belt so buyers feel more confortable buying from you. I have noticed A LOT of the auctions are starting out way to high. People can get the same thing else where for much cheaper. Keep in mind there are very popular sites that sell for cheap. So, you might want to go to other sites and see what they are selling it for then do the same or a little less here ( to get them in the door).
You have to have pictures people want to see what there buying! Have a in depth description and be honest. Is it new or used, what condition is it in, what size is it, etc. You can also use your description to make the sale. What a great item for the price!
Use real good pictures keep in mind they aren't in a store this is there only way of seeing what they are buying.
Answer e-mails ASAP. Let them know you are an honest seller and they are number one to you. Charge actual shipping people don't want to spens a lot on shipping.
To help advertise your site put it in your signature so everytime you e-mail someone and they e-mail you link gets spread around. Go to many forums and advertise your store. It's free and is a great way for people to see your store. There's a lot of stay at home moms that like to shop.
I hope this helps and don't get me wrong I'm not a know it all. There's a lot I need to learn myself this is just stuff I have learned from experince and researching. You all have a great evening and again I hope I helped. :D
