How do I sell my stuff on eBay?

Setting up your own business. It’s a dream we’ve all had at one time or another, maybe as a means to be our own boss or make extra pocket money.

The Internet has made realizing that dream a lot easier. Places like eBay, the online auction site, or Etsy, the crafts site that’s become a boon to artists looking to sell jewelry, clothes and other handmade items online, offer ways for people to go into business for themselves.

Setting up an account with either site is pretty easy, but what next? If you’re serious about selling your wares, be they handmade or found amidst local garage sales, how do you turn a profit? What should you do to get a potential customer’s attention? We talked to some local sellers who use these sites.

SET UP FOR SUCCESS

Do research: Look at what your potential competitors charge for their items. If you want to set up a hat shop on Etsy, for example, go to other hat sellers’ online stores first. What do their sites look like? What kind of layout and pictures do they use? How successful do they appear to be?

On eBay, you can search for “completed listings.” This will tell you how much an item sold for, how many were sold in recent weeks and how quickly each item sold. This way you’ll see if people actually want what you’re offering.

“Know the value of the item in advance so you don’t have unrealistic expectations,” said Todd Lippi of Game Traders Club in Annville and Elizabethtown, which frequently sells items on eBay.

New to online selling? Buy something to see how the whole process works from the customer’s perspective.

Set up a PayPal account: This addition to your online shop will make transactions easier for the user and yourself. “Though I do know of some shops who don’t use PayPal, using PayPal offers the sellers quicker payments, credit card options and the ability to purchase postage and print shipping labels from home,” said Ruth Bissot of West Hanover Twp., who runs the Etsy store called “A Cottage Hearth.”

Be committed: If you’re a Esty seller, you have to love what you make. “If you don’t enjoy doing it, it’s not going to last for you.” said Amanda Turner of Lewisberry, who sells clothing and accessories at Bella Shade Baby. If you’re an eBay seller, be ready to work. “It’s like any business, it’s not easy money. It’s hard work,” said Nick Dunphy, who runs Harrisburg Wholesale in New Cumberland and sells online.

Talk to other sellers: Both Etsy and eBay have extensive forums where sellers and buyers exchange advice. “Etsy’s big strength is it’s sense of community,” Bissot said. “Their forums are always full of helpful posts, and a large group of shops offer mentoring to new sellers.”

Take good pictures: Providing clear, interesting photographs of items is a key part of an online shop’s success. People want to see what you’re selling. Also, if you’re selling handmade clothing on Etsy, use models in your photographs to show your items rather than a coat hanger. (The items will look better)

Write effective titles and descriptions: What might a buyer be looking for? What words would he or she type in Google to find it? Think in terms of achieving greater results from the search engines a customer might use.

“Don’t waste space and time using words like ‘nice’ or ‘wow’,” said eBay Powerseller and Trading Assistant Bill Wray of Mechanicsburg. Instead, offer specifics like model numbers, brand name and color. If you’re not sure what to say, look at similar items that sold well and mimic them. .


CUSTOMER SERVICE

Ratings: Take the user-generated ratings of your service seriously.

Answer questions quickly: Be flexible. Etsy customers might like what you’re selling but want it in a different color or style. Can you offer it to them? On either site, if there’s a problem with a transaction, attempt to rectify it right away.

Ship it quickly: One of the best ways to get a good customer rating — available to users on both sites — is to mail your items out as quickly as possible. If you want to surprise the customer, Lippi suggested saying you’ll send it by parcel post in the initial description but then ship it first class instead.

Package your product safely: Use lots of bubble wrap. When someone opens the box they want to see that you took the time to package it properly.

EBAY SELLING TIPS

One-of-a-kind: If you’re selling a one-of-a-kind item on eBay such as a rare antique, put it up on auction for 30 days to give people more time to find it.

Take the occasional chance: If you’re selling a popular item on eBay, try setting the starting price really low to see if an ensuing bidding war drives it up. “It’s a gutsy move, but when you know what you’re doing you won’t get burned,” Wray said. “The law of economics will come into play.”

Be honest: If your auction item is used or has imperfections, say so. “It has to be what you say it’s going to be or people are going to be upset,” Dunphy said.

End auctions on a Saturday or Sunday: The largest number of people are home and shopping during the weekend, Dunphy noted.
