Great Tips for Marketing on eBay

Knowing your product is one of the most important rules in any business and marketing on eBay is no exception. This means that if you are considering selling a product on eBay, if and you aren"t completely familiar with it then take the time to become completely familiar with it. You should always try to establish a customer base that can be relied on for return business, as these are the people who will be recommending you to others.

Always strive to give exemplary service in all areas of your business and bear in mind a bad reputation is acquired far more quickly then a good reputation. You are most likely going to have dissatisfied customers irregardless of the quality of your product or service, so you should establish some sort of policy in advance as to how you are going to deal with them.

This means that you should always make the effort to insure that you are covered on your end if and when a dissatisfied customer presents themselves. Expedient and timely shipping along with shipping insurance and some quality insurance mechanism will mean that you won"t be left figuratively standing on one leg when dealing with a dissatisfied customer.

You will have your crooks, con artists and crazies that may unfortunately come your way but at the same time mistakes do happen and if you are at fault you should always do your best to rectify the situation to insure possible future business from a dissatisfied customer and also to protect your good reputation.

Do your best to provide accurate descriptions of your products and this should include photographs. If you are selling small items, than you might consider preparing a well lighted table with a neutral background for taking pictures. This will insure that all of your pics have identical lighting and background and look professional.
