It seems everyone is selling on eBay these days, and selling your knitting, or knitting-related goods on eBay might be a very profitable adventure for you! But there's a few things you need to know, and do, first.
SELLING ON eBAY1. If you've never sold anything on eBay, it's a good idea to check out the eBay site yourself, and get familiar with how it all works. You have to 'register' as a buyer or seller, but it's quick and painless, and worth doing if you're going to pursue selling on eBay. Click on various items, even place a bid on something if you like -- get a 'feel' for the site, and how you'll fit into it. You can gain access to millions of potential customers just by selling on eBay.
2. Once you're familiar with eBay in general, look up specific products that are similar to yours, and see if you can follow the bidding. This will give you some new information that might be useful when you are selling on eBay -- can you compare prices, for example, with what you want to sell? Are there lots of folks bidding on items similar to the ones you're planning to sell?
3. TAKE GOOD PICTURES of your merchandise if you're planning on selling on eBay. Great pictures are worth their weight in gold ... they'll cut down on the amount of questions people will ask you in regard to more details, for one thing, and great pictures help an item sell itself. Don't you want to see what you're buying before you buy it?
4. WRITE great descriptions of each piece you're selling on eBay, with as much detail as you have room for, and with search engine optimization principles at work for you (and if you have no idea what I'm talking about here, hire a professional writer).
5. Don't forget about shipping -- learn about what's available to you, and try to pick the best method; then make sure you tell your buying public all about it!
6. Offer as many payment options as you possibly can - the more payment options you have, the more folks are likely to purchase from you.
7. Set up a separate web site for yourself (you should have a professional web site, anyway, with lots of details) and link to your merchant pages at eBay.
You can be selling on eBay -- quickly, easily, and profitably!
