Happy Friday everyone! It’s almost September. We’re into fall selling season now, with coats, jeans, tights, sweaters, Halloween costumes and clothing, etc. selling well right now.

This is a great item to have in your store right now – the boys’ Halloween themed t-shirt. Cute ones are hard to find and they sell well. It’s a great investment to buy your son one at Target for $4 or $5 and sell it the next season for up to $9 – a profit can be made as well as the shirt worn for free!

This listing has a fair selling price as well as shipping price. I like the colors and the graphics of the store. Thank you averysmommy for a very helpful listing today!

It’s time to get those toys listed for holiday gift giving. If you have used toys you want to list or unlisted clearance toys from last year, now’s the time to find the motivation to get them up there. People are going to be ready to shop for toys in September!

NEW My Little Pony CHEERILEE Dress Up NIB hcts

This listing is very colorful, yet simple and easy to navigate. The picture shows clearly what the buyer is getting. The links that are provided in the listing’s description are helpful, and the eBay Store’s categories along the left are easy to understand and use. The shipping cost is very reasonable.

In addition, a shipping special is advertised and clearly explained in the listing which would encourage add-on sales. Great Job!

First of all, how did we get to the end of August so quickly? School will be starting in the next 10 days for those of us who haven’t quite ended the summer yet…if you haven’t, enjoy what is left! We’re completely back to the grind here in Florida.

NWT Lilly Pulitzer Flower Market Mirabelle Skirt 4 HCTS

This is a lovely photo of the Lilly Pulitzer ladies’ skirt from Cuddly Clothes Closet. The black and pink really pop against the white background and make the skirt look really beautiful. The description is short but very accurate with all of the required details (and more details than are provided by a lot of ebay sellers). A closeup photo of the lace trim would have been an extra bonus.

Shipping is very reasonable and the general tone of the listing is friendly and approachable. The seller’s policies are liberal and spelled out clearly.

Very pretty item and successfully done listing! Don’t forget to add a brief (or otherwise) comment when you’ve checked out the listing!

GYMBOREE NWT Boy LONG PAJAMA 4T 4 BROWN DOG NAMES

This photo is interesting to me for the way it shows the pajama top and the bottom while still relating the two to each other. It’s a good way to use the space you have for the gallery pic to show the item you have up for sale.  The listing is clean, clear and easy to navigate. There are links in the description to the other items in the store as well as the About Me page, which are helpful!

I find the way the text in the description plays off the colors in the item for sale attractive yet subtle. The shipping cost is very fair. It’s a simple layout and listing and does what it needs to do.

Great Job!

Millennium Mac Gund Teddy Bear

This is an adorable item in a very good listing. The terms and conditions are clearly given and explained in detail, but not in too much detail. The way the photo is edited with the white space around the item makes the bear look very attractive. The colors of the listing are pleasant and soothing.

The close up of the fur and the tag certainly helps the buyer get a good feel for the quality and condition of the bear, and it also increases the buyer’s confidence in the seller.

I also like the headers at the top of the description that allow the buyer to skip down to the section of information that he/she is looking for. VERY nice touch! Great job!

NEW Bath & Body Works Canvas Beach Tote Bag HUGE hcts

Today’s Ebay listing of the day is from La Rambla de Anna.

I love how your gallery photo is bright and clear AND shows both the outside and inside of the bag. I really don’t have a lot to say about this listing….your auction description and terms of sale are clear and to-the-point. You included some additional close-up photos of the bag and the dimensions so buyers know just what they’re getting.

Great listing!!!

Baby Gund Busy Body Pals DUCK Plush toy 5825 Lovey HCTS

Today’s Ebay listing of the day comes from My Two Roses Boutique. Once again, the gallery picture was what made me click on this listing. A nice, bright clear photo of a cute little duck….I just had to see more!

I like that you put in several close-up photos of the duck from various angles. Your description and shipping/payment terms are consice and nicely written. I did get a little confused by your return policy, however.

All sales are final. If you recieve an item in really bad condition or think we have grossely misrepresented any item, please contact us whithin 3 days of recieving item.
We do not accept returns due to sizing issues.
Returns must be in original condition (as sold).
No partial refunds.
Buyer pays shipping unless it was our error. Our home is a pet free, smoke free home.

You state that all sales are final, yet go on to explain what seems to be a return policy. If you do take returns, I’d suggest removing the “all sales final” verbiage. If you don’t take returns, I’d suggest removing the terms that suggest you do.

Nice listing and very cute duck!

Abercrombie & Fitch AF 09 Girls Blue Hoodie Small HCTS

Today’s Ebay listing of the day comes from My Twins Mommy Plus One. This is a great auction, clear, attractive pictures with plenty of close-ups. Love the one with the circle around the flaw you had described, so buyers can really see what you’re talking about. I think the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is never more true than referring to Ebay buying/selling. When I’m buying on Ebay, I love to have close-up pictures that show any special details or flaws on the item, it makes me much more confident that I will like what I’m buying!

I like your template and I especially like how your store categories are laid out on the left-side of the page, buyers can easily see that you have a lot of other items for sale and can quickly click on any category they are interested in.

Great auction, best of luck with it!

STRIDE RITE FIRST MATE BROWN SANDALS 7M EURO 23 HCTS

Today’s Ebay listing of the day comes from Giggle Drops Kids Resale and More. This is a great pair of sandals in your listing and I was drawn in by your nice gallery photo. It’s a touch bit out of focus, but I like it on the white background and the nice, close-up shot of the shoes. I also really like the search box in your listing template….what a great way to get buyers to quickly take a peek at your other listings!

Your description is short and to the point, which is nice. I think the shipping terms get a little lengthy with your description of all the different shipping options and how long they take, etc. Perhaps shorten it to something like, “We ship Priority Mail within 2 business days after payment. Expedited shipping methods with guaranteed delivery takes are always available for an extra charge. Please contact us for more shipping options.” That may also help draw attention to your combined shipping rates…..as they are currently a little buried right at the end of the shipping terms.

I do have a concern with your title. As it currently stands, the size is listed as 7M and the only way buyers will pull it up in a search is if they are searching for the size by using 7M.

For example, I did an ebay search using the terms “stride rite brown sandals 7″ and your listing doesn’t come up. I would definitely find a place to just put a plain “7″ in your title so it will be more searchable.

A new title suggestion:

BOYS STRIDE RITE FIRST MATE BROWN SANDALS 7M 7 HCTS

Overall, very nice. Best of luck with your listing!

Hanna Andersson Lantern Light Dress Girl 110 4 5 6 HCTS

Great job on this listing! The title has great keywords….you used the brand name, line name, gender and both Euro and US sizing. Your listing should be highly searchable with all those keywords in the title.

Your auction text includes a clear, to-the-point description of the dress including the color, size and condition. It’s nice that measurements are included for those who may be unfamiliar with Hanna sizing. Your shipping and payment terms are well-written. I particularly like this: I accept Paypal only. I appreciate payments made within 3 days, however payment must be received within 7 days unless prior arrangements have been made. It’s a very nice way to ask for quick payment without demanding it. I did notice that you still have a paragraph regarding insurance….now would be a good time to revise those terms out since Ebay is discontinuing the insurance option starting in October.

Overall, a great listing from Jaceb’s Treasures!
