Be organized: You may be a regular user on eBay or may not be. But if you do become a regular user, you will notice that the emails keep on coming. Make sure you organize the folders in your email program as soon as possible. By getting them organized now, you will save a time in the future.

Stay safe: You need to make your passwords an unusual combo of letters and numbers. Even better, make some of the letters upper case and some lower case. It needs to be complicated so no other person can guess your password and log into your eBay account to access your personal and financial details. But don’t make it too complicated as you need to remember the password yourself!

Don’t waste time: Instead of always typing the same thing over and over again (such as usernames), you can save time by using software called ShortKeys Lite. Don’t worry as it is free with no catches. Head over to www.shortkeys.com

Faster loading descriptions: When you are listing your item, be aware of the loading time i.e., how long the whole of your auction description takes to appear on the screen of the buyer’s computer. The major culprit is usually the pictures you put with the auction. Just make sure that they are big enough to show the item but not too big as this will slow the loading time. Auction buyers can be impatient and may hit the back button instead of sitting and waiting. You have been warned.

Use manners: You will be communicating with other eBay members through email. So, give a good impression of yourself and be polite. This will help your reputation and lessen the likelihood of negative feedback. You are only as good as your reputation on eBay and too many negative comments on your feedback never look good.

Remember the auction number: You could be the buyer or seller but it always saves time to quote the number of the auction you are referring to in any email messages with other eBay members. It not only saves time at both ends but it gives the impression that you know what you’re doing.

Take Paypal payments: If you are serious about making money on eBay, you will attract more bidders if you accept Paypal along with your other forms of payment. It is a safe, quick and convenient way for auction sellers to pay for your items. The person who is paying for your auction item does not need to have a Paypal account to pay through Paypal, just a usual credit or debit card. It is very easy to open a Paypal account. Head over to www.paypal.com and follow the steps.

Know how to search: If you’re looking for any item on eBay, try out the Advanced Search facility. The link to it can be found by the general search box. With the Advanced Search facility, you can fine-tune your search criteria and get more specific results instead of having to wade through results which are no good for you.
