    Red face Ebay Newbie!!

    I haven't used ebay, but used the auction site for a reference for prices and hot cards. By browsing on ebay, I realized that ebay sells by the way of advertisement, the same cards will have a big dollar difference. I just need help on how I can advertise well, including titles, description, pictures, length of auction, which cards I should sell, etc. I want to make the most money out of my card.

    Please post anything that will help me.
    Thank you

    always include a very nice picture. I will use the 35˘ gallery option as well on higher dollar cards. I've never used the other stuff they offer. Be very descriptive in your auction, but the picture should say it all if it is nice.

    Don't over charge for shipping either. if you list it right it should go off for what the others you find in the completed pages go for.

    $2.00 is pretty much the norm for s/h charges. Anything higher, serious buyers will be turned off. Everyone knows it only costs an actual $0.49(maybe $0.51 now)to mail a card in a top loader and padded #00 envelope. Some sellers are trying to make back their listing fee, final value fee and cost of envelopes, toploaders and a few extra cents on the shipping costs. Damn pennies they`re trying to take.

    Make your description as correctly as you can. Proof read over for spelling mistakes. If people can`t spell at least 95% of their words correctly, then they probably can`t mail an envelope correctly. Also how is your feedback rating? Personally, I never buy anything from anyone who has less than 99.0% feedback.

    List your items on Thursday and do a 10 day listing. Then your item has 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays...the main bidding days.
