Quoted message said:c said:First, take the time to make nice clean auction pages. This includes high
quality pictures of whatever you are selling. The auction should be very
descriptive of what you are selling, but don't write up something that takes
3 hours to read. The pictures are invaluable to any auction.I agree with this wholeheartedly. On my left hand, currently resides a
vintage diamond wedding set with about a 1/4 carat diamond and 5 little
diamond chips, set in yellow and white gold.I stole it for $70 because the picture was so poor, you couldn't tell what
it looked like. I knew it was the basic style I wanted, and the seller
gave the mm measurement across the main stone, so I was pretty sure of what
to expect. Very happy experience for me.I've gotten a number of other excellent deals because the seller had a
terrible picture of their merchandise. If it's something I'm familiar
with, I just bid on it, and generally get exactly what I expected, and at a
ridiculously low price.Putting more than one item in an auction can backfire on you, too. It may
be that the buyer is only interested in one of the items, and will skip
over your auction.I just stole another item for $5. It was worth $15-$20, but the seller
included a damaged item along with the one that is in good shape. After
the third of the month, I'll get to see my purchase in person! 🙂Hope that helps. Personally, I've had such horrible experiences selling on
eBay that I won't do it again. Anything extra around here is going to the
Salvation Army. A lot of that, I'm sure, is that I get stressed out very
easily. If you're a calm person by nature, things should be just fine.Good luck to you, Carol Ann!
