People entering newly into eBay auction field does not know that pricing is the decisive or vital part in guiding success in this field. The main reason for giving importance for pricing is that in a market you can bargain with the vendor and can reduce the price of a product. But in eBay auction, you are not negotiating in person and there comes the importance of pricing. Basically there are three ways of setting the prices and they are namely buy it now, reserve and starting bid prices. You must realize that of these three prices, the last, starting bid price is the decisive factor for success in eBay auction.

New entrants in this field must understand that buy it now price and reserve price are optional and they must give importance to starting bid price and must fix it below $50 or so and bear in mind that this is applicable for all products. You must have a reserve price because you are placing low opening bid price and for example if your reserve price is at $200 and your highest offer is only $100, then you do not have to trade the product to the top bidder.

Another area that has to be taken care is that eBay auction business is about the shipping price because prospective purchasers will definitely look into about this while participating in a bid or auction. If you are providing free shipping charges, then the number of bidders will high and by this way you can sell your product. The topmost advices for those who have entered or are going to enter in eBay auction field is to give importance for price and fix the price for your product after evaluating the prices of similar product in the market because you are selling your product in a totally different world, on eBay.

If I am thinking of selling something heavy, I take it to the post office and find out how much it will cost to post before setting the price & postage.
