If you haven’t yet sold an item on eBay, relax. It isn’t too difficult to set up your own auction. eBay themselves have a whole section with tips for making the most out of your auctions.

The best way to ensure good feedback is to make sure you describe your items as accurately as possible so there are no misunderstandings (if something has a scratch then say so), contact the buyer right away after an auction, ship the items promptly taking all the necessary precautions and you’re courteous and provide feedback. It’s not rocket science but merely good customer service skills. Always overdeliver.
You can also think of opening your own eBay store and really expanding. The possibilities with eBay are endless it’s simply up to you whether you treat eBay as a hobby or really commit to building a full-time income around it.
