How can I generate more visits to my eBay listings?

Question

I have recently started on ebay selling junk from around my home, but finding the visitor levels are very poor and so I am not getting the number of bids I would like. Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

I agree with both of the above - depending on what you are selling and how much you intend to get for the item you can promote your listing loads and boost traffic to your site.

Without knowing your particular listing I would do the following in this order.

Checkout pulse.ebay.com or pulse.ebay.co.uk to see what people are actually searching for and use good search keywords in your title and description.
Ensure you accept PayPal
Create an "About Me" page
Remove any counter on the page - if the product has been listed for a while with few visitors it could put others off!
Ensure you have a professional looking listing - use a good template there are lots of free ones online.or pay for an eBay listing designer.
Check the spellings throughout your title and description
Ensure you have a picture on your listing
Ensure your listing is well written
Add a Subtitle
Add extra pictures if it is necessary to really show your products
Don't charge too much for postage but be realistic
Start with a realistic bid price - being too high can put people off
If you have had previous buyers then send them a nice email explaining that you now have other items for sale - you might get repeat business.
Add a returns policy
Promote in a second category (if applicable)
Pay for gallery picture (so people see the picture in their search)
If the cost of the product is high enough then consider some of these additional promotional tools: Use Bold, Border, Highlight, Featured Plus! or Gallery Featured (all come with a cost)
Look into creating a Classified Ad

Answer 2

Check other listings for similar items to the ones you are selling to see what keywords the sellers put in the description field that shows up when you do a search on Ebay. People can't look at the stuff you are selling if they don't find it when they search. Using thorough descriptions is a great way to get more hits.

Answer 3

One of the KEY things you can do to improve the amount of visits to you items for sale is in the Heading.

Be sure to spell everything correctly and include any key word\s that potential buyers might search for.

For example, if you're selling a Digital camera be sure to include DIGITAL and CAMERA in the heading. Would also include the Make & Model Number as well.
