6. Conduct your market research according to the trends on eBay:
You need to constantly look out for the hottest items to sell on eBay. Check out eBay calendar for particular themes of the month. Pay special notice on what other people are selling.

7. Write decent ads:
Your ads need to look neat and simple. Don't confuse your buyers. Be honest when you are describing your items. You will increase your chance of getting positive feedbacks in that way. In addition, check your spelling and grammars before you put up your ads.

8. Use automation:

9. Clear policy on shipping and handling:
Be very clear on instructions after sales, such as shipping, handling, postage, etc. Your customers will appreciate that greatly. Also, it will be better if you can provide a tracking code for your customers to track the shipment. Don't overcharge your shipping fees.

10. Use quality pictures:
You should use multiple pictures whenever possible. It is proven to increase your sales and attract more bids. Please take quality pictures with your digital camera in an appropriate background.

11. Relist your unsold items:
You should relist your unsold items since eBay don't charge you again if the item is sold later. Don't create a new listing for the same item.

12. Use different features of listing appropriately:
EBay offers different types of listing features, such as bold, highlight, border, feature plus, etc. They all have different price and some of them are not cheap. You should use them appropriately after weighing against the potential profits in the sale.

13. Never use reserve option:
So far I haven't seen any successful auction using reserve option. No one wants to bid on items with reserved price. If you don't want to lose your profits, simply raise your starting bid.

14. Use ten days auction and gallery option frequently:
These are two of mine most favorite options for listing. They are proven to work. Use them often.

There you have it.
Hope the above tips are helpful to you.
