If you\u2019re selling on eBay, read this first before trying to hack away at things all on your own. There are plenty of tools out there to help you succeed, and RepricerExpress<\/a> has rounded up 10 of the best ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Do Your Homework<\/h2>\n

If you were aiming to be a pilot, you wouldn’t just get into the cockpit of a plane and figure things out on the fly, would you? Nah, you\u2019d read manuals and take training courses. The same thing exists for eBay sellers, like using Terapeak<\/a> to find out what the best- and most solid-selling products are. Think of it this way: if you<\/em> were going to buy from a seller, you\u2019d prefer one that knows what they\u2019re doing. Give yourself a month or so to find out what niche works best for you.<\/p>\n

2. Managing Your Inventory<\/h2>\n

Now that you’ve figured out what you\u2019re going to be selling, the next step is to find an inventory management system that\u2019ll allow you to keep that near-perfect balance of having the correct amount of stock in place. Using Amazon inventory management tools<\/a>\u00a0is one of the easiest ways of managing your stock levels and product prices so you don\u2019t have to go at it by hand. That\u2019s what cavemen did; you\u2019re in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

3. Smart Listing Reproduction<\/h2>\n

There are essentially two ways you can go about creating listings: make a fresh one for every product, or create a sort of template for one and use it for similar items. The easier option by far is the second one, as the only things you\u2019ll have to change are the images, image URLs, product descriptions<\/a> and shipping terms. And really, those only take a couple of minutes each so you can just devote a couple of hours to it and have your entire inventory done.<\/p>\n

4. Efficient Listing Scheduling<\/h2>\n

Once you have all your listings organised, the next step is to schedule them. It doesn’t really matter when you publish<\/em> them; what\u2019s important is when the bidding time ends. You\u2019ll want to schedule that for when the bulk of your buyers will be online, so do a bit of research into who your consumers are. If you\u2019re selling to a North\/South American audience, using Eastern Standard Time makes the most sense because the bulk those continents\u2019 populations live within that time zone.<\/p>\n

5. Keeping Track of Images<\/h2>\n

At the very minimum, each product listing should have one image. But good sellers know that adding multiple images only helps. The trick is, where should you go to host, upload and manage your images? Cross off free hosting sites from your list because of their severe limitations, and bite the bullet on a paid account. You\u2019ll have so many more options, whether it\u2019s with provided space or extended capabilities. You\u2019re a pro, so sell like one.<\/p>\n

6. Design Sweet Looking Shipping Labels<\/h2>\n

Speaking of selling like a pro, reflect that ethos in your shipping labels<\/strong>. You don\u2019t want a delivered item to look like it came from grandma\u2019s house, but rather a professional, established seller. This means skipping practices like cutting out paper rectangles and handwriting the information and using a third party to batch them up in bulk for you. Oh, and use a laser printer (not an ink one) for better results.<\/p>\n

7. Get Someone to Fulfil Orders for You<\/h2>\n

The only exception to this rule is if you\u2019re selling super rare items where you can easily process orders yourself (like a few a day or each week). However, if that\u2019s not the case, then you really need to look into a third-party to fulfil orders for you. Along with saving you massive amounts of time, you\u2019ll also get the benefit of a third party handling things like customer support for you, which will prove essential in the long run.<\/p>\n

8. Communicate with Buyers After a Sale<\/h2>\n

You know how it\u2019s super important for buyers to leave feedback<\/a> for you after they’ve purchased something so you can build on your reputation? Well, the same thing goes for your buyers. They\u2019ll be much more inclined to buy again from you if you reach out immediately to them, as well as more inclined to avoid negative feedback if they know there\u2019s a real person they can talk to.<\/p>\n

9. Sending Regular Emails<\/h2>\n

MailChimp<\/a> and aWeber<\/a> are two of the most popular choices when it comes to email marketing campaigns, which pretty much every successful seller takes advantage of. If you\u2019re not consistently reaching out to your buyers to let them know of cool things happening with your store\/brand, then you\u2019re passing up the chance to make another sale. There are some serious profits to be made with sending out regular emails, as buyers have notoriously short memories after completing purchases.<\/p>\n

10. Hire an Accountant<\/h2>\n

Once you get into the flow of ecommerce, you\u2019ll notice that balancing the books becomes more and more of a painful issue. It\u2019s complicated, messy and full of restrictions and loopholes, but there are seasoned professionals out there whose only business it is to do this stuff. Instead of handling it yourself and risk making mistakes, why not just pay someone else to do it? It doesn’t cost a whole lot (compared to the overall money you\u2019re making), so view it as an investment in your business and bring someone on board.<\/p>\n
