Making your eBay Store Appealing to Customers Quick Tips

When customers visit your eBay store what do they see? Is your information clearly organized? Do product descriptions match the pictures included? Have you even taken the time to add pictures to your site? If the answers to any of these questions is "no" you need a style makeover fast. Even if your eBay store still attracts customers think about how many customers and sales have slipped through your fingers, because your sight design did not inspire confidence.

Selling to customers is about their convenience, not yours. Often the first impression of a business lets a customer know if they want to do business with you. Though you may not want to take the time needed to write detailed descriptions and add photos, customers are looking for this information. The photo you use should be well lit so detail about the item being sold is visible. A seller offering a collectors item, increases their chances of getting a great price for the item by taking a picture that is in focus. The picture included with a product description should actually match the product in question.

Research products before listing them for sale on eBay can help focus product descriptions to include information on why your product is a better buy than a similar item offered by the competition. Keep product descriptions at a reasonable length to hold on to short attention spans, remember eBay is used by a wide variety of individuals making up different cultures and ages, use language that anyone can understand. Use your headline to make buyers take a second look at what you are offering.

Good ratings are essential for sellers on eBay, if customers are displeased with your service, your ratings will go down and buyers will not trust you to honor a sale. A business should always be professional, if a buyer pays you for a product and you don't deliver the product or don't deliver the product in the condition you described don't be surprised if negative feedback keeps you from being able to gain the attention you want.

The more ways you can get paid the better! Do a little research on eBay and explore all the payment options, though PayPal is the most frequently used method, its not the only method available, by offering other payment options buyers who don't want to open up a PayPal account can still purchase from you.

As a seller, you are well aware of how eBay's protection plan benefits buyers. However, your buyer may be a little lazy. Newly registered members and those who joined the site at an earlier stage but are just deciding to place a bid for the first time may not be aware of the benefits of PayPal. Of course, accepting credit cards and money orders could increase the chanced that you get scammed; consider the benefits of each option carefully before deciding if they should be accepted.

A satisfied customer is a repeat customer, be professional in all correspondence with the buyer. If a buyer emails you to ask additional questions respond in a timely manner, if you wait until a week has passed, don't be surprised that their interest in buying from you has now passed as well.
