How To Sell Items Online Through The Internet

Do your research before listing your object.

Find out its current value. To learn how, click here.

See how other people position similar items. Think about the following:

• The category in which your items is to be listed.
• A Header that describes the item in a few words. When thinking about what words to use in the header/title:
  • Keep in mind that most searches on auction sites are done by titles rather than descriptions.
  • Use as many of the words people search on as possible.
  • Avoid words such as "unique" or "wonderful." They take up precious space and don't add anything of value.
• A description of the item (preferably under 500 words).
  • If possible, appeal to collectors in your description. For instance, if you list a guitar and a particular rock star used a similar guitar, say so.
  • Be honest in your description. If the item is more flawed than you describe, buyers will be disappointed. Disappointed buyers give sellers a bad rating, which will make future sales more difficult.

• If possible, have at least one color photograph of the item which shows the item clearly -- preferably with nothing else in the photo. If the photograph is not digital, scan it into the computer. If you don't have a scanner, a stand-alone scanner is not very expensive. Alternatively, ask a friend who has one to help or go to a copy shop which has one. The process only takes a few minutes.
