What NOT to do in eBay Selling
by Brian McGregor

There are many places on the internet where you can find out recommended ways to sell on eBay.

I thought it might be useful if I presented some thoughts about what doesn't work, what won't succeed and what to avoid doing.

Don't time your auctions so they end on a Bank Holiday.

Don't use a negative tone in your listing.

Don't waste any of your 55 characters of auction title on words or symbols like "L@@k", "Wow" or "Nice".

Don't worry about accepting international buyers.

Don't use music, animations, or multicoloured background in your auction description.

Don't use the term "As is" in your listings.

Don't try to make a profit out of P&P.

Don't fail to identify defects in your item.

Don't delay in shipping your item.

Don't wait for the buyer to leave feedback first.

Don't rush to leave negative feedback for a non-paying bidder.

I'm sure there are plenty more where these came from. But they'll get you started!
