Chuck Smith
One of the most important, and least-utilized, features on
eBay is the "About Me" page. With your Just just about Me page, you
can promote yourself as a seller, promote all of your
auctions, and show off your eBay Feedback ratings. This
provides quality
for your auction business, and likewise
gives you an possibleness
to express your unique personality.
To create your Just just about Me page, log into eBay and go to the
"my eBay" tab at the top of the page. Once there, choice
the "about me" tab. This wish bring you to the Just just about Me
creation page. Just click on the "create and edit your
page" button to get started.
eBay offers three several pre-packaged layouts for you to
choose. Once you've elect your template, you wish be
presented with a form. All three templates wish ask you to
complete the same information.
Before you start to fill in the form, you should think just about
what you want to accomplish with your eBay business. For
the intention of this article, I'm going to pretend I am in
the antique tin toy business. With this example, I'm
letting my personality shine through to help build a
following with tin toy collectors.
Page Title: Chuck's Antique Tin Toys
Welcome Heading: The Finest Tin Toys on eBay!
Welcome Text: Hi, my name is Chuck Smith, and I LOVE TIN
TOYS! I've been assembling antique tin toys for over 10
years, and discovered eBay was a great place to find more
toys for my collection just about three years ago. The problem
was I was purchasing so many, I was running out of money. But
my loss is your gain. I distinct to use eBay to finance my
hobby and I'm offering antique tin toys (at least the ones
I don't HAVE to have for my collection) on eBay.
Another Paragraph Heading: In my auctions, you wish be
given elaborated
descriptions of every item I sell. You'll
see the exact condition, including complete descriptions of
any flaws. I wish likewise give you as more information just about
the toy, including manufacturer, history, and cradle as
I can provide. I want you to feel comfortable once
purchasing
from me. On this page, you can see my Feedback and likewise
the else Items I have for sale. I hope you'll enjoy my
auctions, and I look forward to doing business with you in
the near future! Nice luck!

To get a image on eBay, you wish need to either have a Web
site wherever
you can post files already, or you can use one of
the many an image hosting services accessible on the Internet.
Feedback: As you buy and sell items on eBay, you wish want
to have your Feedback listed on your Just just about Me page. Here
you'll choice the number of Feedback listings to show on
your page (I use the last 10), and eBay fills in your
feedback automatically. Feedback is eBay's way of holding
other users cognize how you conduct yourself on their site.
If you're an superior
customer and seller, folk wish send
you positive Feedback that is positive. Do thing
wrong
and you'll get negative Feedback. Do sure you run your
business in an above-board manner!
Items For Sale: This is similar to Feedback in that you
select the number of Items For Sale to show, and eBay fills
this information in automatically. This is a great way to
show potential bidders all of the items you have up for
auction.
Favorite Links: Here, you can link to your own Web site
(I extremely
recommend you get your own Web site), or provide
some of your favorite links. Mayhap there's a Web site out
there that offers information and calculable
values for
antique tin toys. Go ahead and link to it -- your potential
customers wish appreciate the resource.
Favorite Items: If you have several favorite items you've
purchased or seen on your eBay travels, then go ahead and
list them. I prefer not to send folk to else eBay
sellers, so be careful.
That's it. Just hit the submit button and eBay
automatically generates your Just just about Me page. You now have a
wonderful new marketing tool that wish help promote your
auctions and let potential bidders cognize what kind of merchant
you are.

want to be sure you cognize what you're doing before trying
this. Click here if you'd like to check out my Just just about Me
