I've narrowed the field to the 9 most important keys to success at ebay auctions.

The Internet Genius of E-Bay can provide you with ultimate freedom from the 9 to 5 dayjob. I recently have become a power seller, and believe me it hasn't been easy. I've read every book and bought every program available, so it seems. But I couldn't get my sales to increase to the amount I could consider "life changing". So I experimented with different workshops, guides, reports, E-bay Software, so called E-Bay tools, and Technology. In the end it was my own heart and imagination that brought me over the line of being a power seller.

If you are a newbie to E-Bay then I suggest you read and go through the tutorials. These tips are for those who are gaining momentum in their sales and need a boost to get them over the edge. To save you the time of purchasing all those costly marketing strategies, and going to those dull sales seminars.

Always remember to keep thinking like the BIDDER or the buyer. Anticipate the things your buyer would ask. Paint a vivid picture with your descriptions. Include great details and elaborate as much as possible. Check your spelling. Make sure to describe your item accurately, including flaws. Don't try to deceive your buyer. Make a sense of pressure by using words like "rare" or "collectors" "limited". Include a phone number if possible. and make sure, I repeat make sure to check your spelling.

Use the supply and demand to determine the starting selling price for your items. A good marketing strategy is to avoid reserves unless a "buy it now option is available. Run a three day auction for most items you list. If an item is rare then take a ten day auction to maximize exposure. Throw in some free reports or guides that you can easily find anywhere for free. The best success stories involve marketers who found high demand products and did a one day listing, especially if you have multiples of the same product. And don't worry about your sales or timing if you sell enough products, none of that will matter. Experiment and see what works best for your products and your business.

 O.K. for all those die hard enthusiasts who are dedicated enough to read this far down in this hub, I am going to give you some information that is worth thousands if not millions in the world of E-bay , and made me a power seller in a little over ten months. This information should not be given away for free but hell I already have made a lot of money using these methods and people are selling these methods in so called E-Bay Programs for hundreds.

Its called Sniping. And it is no new method to power sellers yet maybe it's new to you.  This is how it works:     Every auction on e-bay has limited time right, well most people never time their auctions to end at a time during daylight. O.K. you stay up at odd times at night, two or three in the morning and search the catagories that are popular. Be patient and you will begin to get great bargains on all kinds of products. Watch patiently until the last minute of bidding and outbid the highest bid by pennies. Now you have gotten the product for the lowest price plus shipping.

TIP- Looking for auctioneers who only use no reserve bids and a very low starting price are obvious grabs!!!

Now comes the interesting part. It seems that you would only be able to  re-sell that item for what you paid for it. However you can re-list the item for your percentage price increase and re charge for the same shipping. If you do this process by ten products a day, you will be spending a small amount and banking in hundreds a day.

This will not happen overnite. you will need to experiment and set a goal. When will I be able to buy and sell one item a day. And then when will I be able to buy and sell five a day, and ten and so on. I promise using this method you will never need a product to sell and still can achiever power seller status. Have fun and Happy Bidding. I randomly showcase up and coming e-bay auctioneers in hubs. If you would like me to highlight you, leave me a note!
