Create an eBay "About Me" Page

Create your "ABOUT ME" page.  Once your "About Me" page is up and running, you need to start being at least an occasional message poster on the various Ebay message boards. These are found by going to ebay.com, clicking on "Community" at the top of the page, click drop-down menu to "Workshops/discussion forums" link to the message boards.


You can either add a comment to an on-going discussion or start a new discussion of your own. And any time someone reads any of your comments, an icon link to your "About Me" page will be available to them. Ebay users are curious creatures, and they will be curious about you . . . and your auctions, so they will click on your "About Me" link and be presented with all your auctions.

Tweak Your Starting Prices on eBay and Save Money

Tweak your Starting Prices on eBay and you will save money.  Be careful when you choose your starting price, as a very small difference in price can lead to a large increase in insertion fee, especially if you are selling multiple items. For example, an item with a starting price of $29.99 incurs an insertion fee of 0.75, whereas a starting price of $30 would cost $1.50.   On eBay.com a starting price of $49.99 incurs a fee of $1.20 where as a starting price of $50.00 would cost $2.40.   The lower your eBay fees, the more profit you will make.  It adds up at the end of the month.
