Attention eBay Sellers: Prepare for January Sales!
January is my biggest selling month of the year! I know everyone has different "best" selling months each year, but from my personal experience, the trend has been January in all of my 10 years of selling on eBay.
Shopping For Free Shipping at eBay!
With Gas prices the way they are and the rising cost of many items around the country, people are letting their fingers browse the internet this year, rather than spend the money to drive, park and walk the brick-and-mortar stores.
Eat Turkey, Give Thanks, Search eBay!
Christmas shopping on eBay helps me to avoid long lines and allows me to drink my coffee, listen to my music, wear my best shopping clothes (my jammies), have my cat purring by my side as I shop till I drop anytime of day or night! No need for long lines or getting up at 4:00 am to "Catch a Sale" shopping on eBay has made my shopping experience content. I now can say I love shopping! BUT, only if it's on eBay!
Marketing and Listing eBay Items!
"Submit!" Your item is now LIVE on eBay! You've just put an item on the shelf of the eBay system! A worldwide marketplace waiting for shoppers to browse the window into your world! The listing of items on eBay is not only profitable, but it can be a challenge. I try to challenge myself with each listing. Looking for selling strategies, techniques to use as well as marketing as needed.
Tweak Your eBay Store for the Holidays!
There are some awesome ready made templates with easy to understand set-up instructions provided by eBay. Each of them could be easily "tweaked" to meet your Holiday decoration needs. Be sure and review the color wheel chart in the "Do's and Don't" area. Color is important when designing a store.

Read a Good Mystery Auction Lately?
If you're ready to go on a virtual treasure hunt, Mystery auctions are a fun category to explore among all the eBay listings. Many of the Mystery auction sellers are very talented with their auction creations. Some have amazing listings with fancy templates and graphics. Others keep it short and sweet with many words and few graphics. They are not only entertaining to read, but they can be fun to "play!"
eBay Group Land ~ Full of Adventure!
eBay introduced “Groups” to the community back in August 2003.It was a response to member's requests to have spaces that were less competitive than eBay's "big boards" Since then "Group Land" has grown to more than half a million members! There are about 3,500 groups within the community. Ranging from Collector Clubs to Special interests and everything in between. Groups can be on a local or worldwide level. They can be open to the public or private.
Selling on eBay: Better Odds than a Lottery Ticket!
I recently had a great challenge with an item I purchased. I was motivated to sell it because other sellers were not having much luck selling it. And, since I love a good challenge, I took on this personal quest. I picked up a couple new CD’s from a clearance shelf at a local shop. They were drastically reduced with one of those "Pink" dots. This type of store uses the "dot" system to mark items down. Different colors represent different discounts. I love the "Pink" dots because they are 75% off!
The Largest Multi-Seller Charity Event on eBay: P.E.P.!
Painting Ebay Pretty, otherwise known as: P.E.P. is an eBay Sellers Group dedicated to helping each other and communities. The Proud sponsor of the largest Multi-Seller Charity Auctions held on eBay supporting: Susan G. Komen For the Cure . Many people assume that P.E.P is for painters because of the name.The history of the name has nothing to do with painters.
eBay Charity Auctions are a Blessing!
With all the challenges and competition of selling on eBay I do highly recommend to all sellers to host at least one charity auction a month. Charity auctions are not only a brilliant marketing tool, but they are a "true" way to help an organization. It's a Win-Win situation! eBay has developed an organization called: eBay Giving Works. This great team helps keep eBay safe by providing trusted non-profits to be a part of the program. "Better Sales, Better World"
