EBAY is the best way for buyers and sellers to interact without  leaving the comfort of their home.  After completing many successful transactions, here are some useful tips to help both buyers and sellers optimize their experience with EBAY.

BUYERS - " If I had only bid $1 more!" The most important thing to remember is there is only 1 auction winner and you need to be there at the end of the auction to react to bids from other buyers to guarantee a result. Additionally, buyers can target auctions that finish at unusual times which have the least competition from other buyers who are generally lazy and will pre-plan a maximum bid which is easily overcome by bidding in small increments to overtake their bid.

SELLERS -  " A picture tells a thousand words!" When selling on EBAY, a clear and good quality photo or preferably a set of photos is the minimum expectation of buyers to achieve the best outcome. Auctions without a photo are frequently overlooked by many buyers which significantly reduces the pool of potential buyers interested in your product.

FEEDBACK - "Treat others as you wish they would treat you!" The success of the EBAY community works on trust, loyalty and goodwill between buyers and sellers. Accurate and balanced feedback of past transactions is relied upon by others to build confidence in the on line auction environment. Most EBAY users take great pride in preserving a track record of positive dealings so make sure your comments are fair and reasonable.
