Tools To Get Started Selling On Ebay

There’s two common misconceptions about making money on eBay.

The first that it’s confusing and you have to be a computer programmer to do it, the second being you need special tools and help to sell anything.

Fortunately, these two misconceptions couldn’t be further from the truth. Over the years eBay has created such a simple step by step process for listing auctions it’s ridiculous. You don’t need to know html or anything to list an auction, it’s all there for you.

Now eBay Selling Tools, I consider to be extra’s you don’t need when you’re first starting out, like a turbo listing service or image hosting server or even an eBay store.

Now there’s many benefits to using these services, but if you’re new to buy and selling on eBay you don’t need them to list an auction successfully.

The only tools you need are the ability to write a title that includes keywords to get more auction views who are searching for items, a way to accept payment (preferably PayPal) and Pictures of the item.

Let’s start out with the Title and keywords. Just use keyword eBay.com to find out what people are searching for and then find ones relating to your product, stick those in your title so capture those searches.

PayPal, pretty straight forward, just go to PayPal.com and open an account if you don’t already have one, if you already do, great.

Now, pictures. Yes, Pictures are a very important part to your auction, bidders can only bid based on what they see or read. Including pictures (at least ONE) is a no brainer, you just gotta do it.

So how can you get a picture of the item. You have a few different options, a lot of people have digital camera’s or cell phones with cameras. Obviously if you have a digital camera, then you’re all set you can take phones and stick them on your auctions.

If you don’t have a digital camera but do have a cell phone with a camera you can check your providers website and some let you send the photos (upload) to the site by sending them to a specific number, then you can download them and use them.

And some phones have memory cards you can simply stick into your computers memory card slot and download the pictures.

And finally, the best option, I would recommend if you don’t have a digital camera is to simply get a picture off the manufacturers website or a site that has the images from the manufacturer on them.

Make sure when using this method you put in the description that it’s not an image of the actual product being shipped.

Your title and pictures are going to make or break your auction, they are both very important parts to the selling on eBay puzzle.
