[Working Moms Blog] How to know what to sell on eBay

[MomBlogger]

This is going to be a quicky... I realized that I haven't updated my blog in a while, and I wanted to just put a little something out there for you.

Many people don't realize that they can check how well an item sells on ebay by checking the completed listings.

So, let's say for instance, you have a winter jacket, barely used... LLBean.... You go to ebay, selected the advanced search, type your keywords into the search criteria... and put a check mark in front of the "completed listings" only.

This will now display ONLY THE ENDED AUCTIONS. This is great for you, as it will tell you several things

#1) how many of those items didn't sell
#2) how many sold and for how much
#3) what is the difference between the successful sales versus the unsuccessful (look at the title, the description, the number of pictures, the condition ... even the time of day and the actual day of the week the auction ended)

Armed with this information, you will be more likely to successfully list your items on eBay.

I welcome your comments
