Internet Marketing DIY: ebay

Many of us have bought things from ebay. It is a great place for internet shoppers for almost anythings, more so there are many "power sellers" that literally depend on ebay channels. However, not until you have sold something on ebay you could appreciate the many challenges that make your product sold. In my view, ebay is a very good place (and most convenient too) to practice what we learn in the class. To sell in ebay is similar to the Google challange, the key words that you choose, how attractive is the ad and the description of the products play a big part in the sale success.

Recently I listed 3 similar items for sale in ebay. 1st with low bid price and minimal description, 2nd with medium starting bid with standard description and the 3rd with high buy-now price but with very detailed description and more pictures etc. Guess what, the 3rd item was quickest sold!
