How do you guys sell on ebay?

Update:

I am a new seller but i was just wondering how new sellers make a first sale? I have listed 4 items right now and I am not pricing my products super high. I just dont understand why people can't take a chance with me. I want to be a seller but I can't really keep the items really low either.

    There's no way to provide a meaningful answer without looking at your actual listings. You'll get the best info from the eBay discussion boards.

    If you are old enough to recall a time before the internet, you’d probably remember a time when to go shopping meant dragging yourself down to your local high street to see if what you wanted was available from one of the major retailers or market traders who occupied every high street. Likewise, if you were a market trader, the best way to sell what stock you had was by being where the customers were; the high street and various marketplaces held on certain days in car parks, etc.

    Founded in September 1995 by Pierre Omidyar in his San Jose living room, eBay has grown to become one of the largest marketplaces online for the buying and selling of goods. Every day, items ranging from cars to houses, football memorabilia to clothing are put up and sold on eBay. Yet whether it was due to the time when eBay started or perhaps due to what it was initially known for (online auctions) eBay is credited by many as being the initial game changer; the online marketplace which made most people aware that it is possible to sell and buy over the internet via this marketplace.

    Hopefully you are now feeling somewhat excited about the potential of eBay and are probably wondering how can I sell on eBay, as well as how do you sell on eBay? Well once you have created an eBay account (pretty simple process) the next step is to go around your house and pick out items you have which you no longer want but are still in a fairly good condition.

    The last of the eBay selling tips which I can give you is don’t treat your customers like lovable UK comedy character Derek Trotter (from Only Fools & Horses) treats his; selling dodgy, illegal goods, only to take the money and run. eBay has been designed to prevent such rogue traders from abusing their platform and so if you apply any such behavior, you will sink faster than a lead ball!
