Selling item title: When selling an item, pay most attention to the title of the item you are selling. Make sure it contains all the keywords a buyer might be looking for.   [guest]

Check prices: Find out what kind of price similar items, or the same item has been selling for, by going to "Advanced Search" and then place a check mark in the "Completed items only" checkbox.   [guest]

Buy in bulk: Buy in bulk, and then sell individually. Search suggestions (don't use the quotes): "baseball lot", "football lots" (notice the use of singular and plural), "clothes bulk".   [guest]

Politeness: Put something friendly at the end of your auction listings. For example, "Thanks for looking". This builds confidence and a sense of goodwill.   [guest]

Night owls: If you find yourself unable to sleep during the wee hours, say, 3 o'clock in the morning, do yourself a favor and cruise eBay for a while in search of bargains listed (foolishly!) to close at this time. When everyone else is asleep, that is the time to snag a bargain.   [guest]

Feedback rating: Don't sell valuable items until you have a reasonable feedback rating. If your feedback rating is less than 10 people are likely to bid significantly less for your item.   [guest]

Sniping: Bidding in the closing seconds of an auction is often successful, and doesn't allow the previous high bidder enough time from reconsidering whether to increase their bid.   [guest]

Cents matter: When selling, make your reserve price $19.99 instead of $20.00, to save on fees. And when buying, bid $10.02 instead of $10, to outbid those who like to bid in whole dollar amounts.   [guest]
