Ebay listing of the day! 7/13/09

LE TOP Swimwear Swimsuit One Piece Rose 24m LN HCTS
Your nice gallery picture really caught my eye right off the back. The black background is a nice, clean contrast to the pretty pink swimsuit. I like that you include pictures of both the front and back of the suit, as well as a close up of some of the detailing. Your description is clear with the brand, size and condition of the item listed right off the bat in the first paragraph. I also like how you include a clothing condition chart in your listing so when you refer to an item as “like new” the potential buyer can easily see what condition you are referring to.
The free shipping offered on this listing caught my eye. As a buyer I always am drawn to items with free (or very reasonable cost) shipping. On such a lightweight item like a bathing suit, the free shipping works well to attract buyers and doesn’t end up costing you, the seller, much at all.
I see that you refer several times to you other listings and even offer a link within you auction to direct buyers to your other listings. That’s great and hopefully leads to more multiple purchases. One thing that might encourage buyers to make those multiple purchases is to have a little more concrete combined shipping policy. Instead of saying that the heaviest item is the primary charge and other items will be discounted, maybe offer to ship for the cost of the heaviest item plus $1 for each additional item.
Probably the only thing in you listing that would make me pause, as a buyer, is the requirement that Buy It Now and Fixed Price purchases must be paid for within 24 hours. Although I understand (as a seller) that it’s nice to get items paid for right away, I also know that as a buyer I sometimes like a few days leeway to pay for items. Ebay does give buyers 7 days to pay before you can file non-payment on them, so even though you request payment within 24 hours, you still have to wait the full week before taking action. Perhaps a happy medium of requesting that buyers pay within 3 (or 5) days would encourage more buyers to consider your items.
Overall, a nicely photographed and laid out listing from Little Cutie Pie’s Closet.

WOW! What a surprise to see my bathing suit listing.. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate your expertise… It’s because of all the ladies on this site that I have been able to sell my grand children’s gently used clothing. Thank you everyone!
