Insane return policy– Most sellers in eBay say they will take returns but ………… They tell there are a thousand conditions before they will take the return. Like, we have to prove something is wrong, or send pictures, others would like you to call them and get the return pre-approved.

Here are some of the things you can do to take advantage. Offer an insane return policy. Like, if the item sold is not as it was described, or if the item arrives damaged or not working you will take the item back and give full refund. Not only that, you will also refund all the postage costs, to and from the customer. What that will do is give a massive boost to the confidence towards your item and towards you as a seller. However, for this tactic to work make sure to check your item before hand thoroughly.

Target time – I have seen people selling their iPods where the auction finishes at 3 in the morning. Yep, its a buyer's delight, sellers loss. With no one around to bid on the item, the buyer gets a great bargain, but the seller is often dissatisfied. When you are selling locally and it is late at night, you can schedule the auction to start during a favorable time to start, or save what you have written, and start the listing yourself at a later time.

Further more, if you do a little bit of research, you will see that there are times when there are plenty of people online. It is likely that your item will fetch good price in those times. Normally around 4-7 PM there are peaks. However, depending on your location this will vary.

Tara Peak provides a research service. You can check which key words are helping sell more. What prices are certain items selling for. When are the peak times for certain items. We can not sum up how important such research tools are in one paragraph. I highly recommend you have a look at their online demo.
