Peanuts by Department 56 Snoopy the Easter Beagle HCTS

Great picture! Your picture is clear and the editing you did around it ensues that the focus is completely on the item with no distractions.  This is a very nice first impression.

I found it a but hard to find the items details here.  The description for this item doesn’t start until the 10th line of text.  I believe that the wording above that is probably generic to be included on all listings, and I would find the listing more clear if that were all underneath the specifics about this listing.  I also think measurements might be helpful to include in the description.  I’m sure that someone who collects these figurines would have some idea of size, but I’m not sure that a casual buyer would know.  (Or maybe that is just me!)

Your shipping price seems fair and clearly stated.  I also like that your combined shipping policy is stated so obviously so the buyer knows what he will be getting.  It’s not mentioned in the listing itself but on the second page I see you have a nice return policy.  I might consider putting a blurb about that in the template, as it definitely encourages buyers to feel confident shopping with you.

And all of our members should be happy to see that awesome HCTS discount! Woo-hoo!  Thank you so much; that is very generous of you, and best of luck with your sales!

Dora the Explorer STUFFED PLUSH 7″ BOOTS Toy GUND HCTS

How perfect is this picture???  Absolutely amazing, I am blown away by how professional this looks.  Completely top-notch.  Description is great as well, short and sweet and to the point.

I really like your template.  It’s not too busy or distracting, and the tabs at the top of the page make for very easy navigation.  All of your terms are spelled out very clearly and your return policy is stellar.  I would feel completely confident purchasing from you.  I also really like the way you’ve worded everything here.  What you said about the star ratings isn’t that different from what many other sellers state, but you did so in such a nice way that it comes across as truly caring and not snide or lecturing at all.  I think this is a really great example of a listing done just right.

You have definitely put a lot of thought into your work and it shows!  Well done.

I’m so sorry y’all!  BellaBuggy here, and I completely spaced on the listing yesterday!  My girls started school last week and I’m still not in the routine yet.

Born Black Leather Ladies Shoes 9 1/2 43 EUC! HCTS

Great job on the pictures!  They just jump off the screen, very clear and crisp, and the condition of the shoes is completely visible.  I like that you included so many pictures from different angles.  This is especially useful when selling pre-worn shoes, as wear patterns can definitely affect their reuse-ability.  Very smart marketing!

Your description is great.  All the important details are there without fluff to distract the buyer.  Measurements included are very useful, and I like that you listed both inside and outside measurements.  I think this is very clear and together with your description should eliminate most if not all questions from prospective buyers.

Your terms are clearly spelled out and I like that you have a return policy if need be.  I noticed that you mention insurance being the buyers responsibility.  I’m sure you are aware that this is changing soon, so this is a great time to start editing your listings and/or templates to remove that kind of language.  The same is true for the 5-star rating. 

Great job, and best of luck on the sale of these shoes!

Hey girlies!! It’s me Rebecca. Thanks so much to the mods for helping out these past few weeks. They did an awesome job, don’t you think? I’m hoping I can rope them into doing it more often!! It’s always nice to have a varied point of view.Here is today’s listing of the day-a Baby Gap jumper and shirt, by seller new2you1260. Your title is awesome. What a great idea to include Euro sizing to increase your target audience, brilliant! And offering FREE SHIPPING is another good way to attract more bidders. Your pictures are good, but oops-did you notice one is turned incorrectly? I love that you included the measurements in your listing. Nice job, that is sooooo helpful to buyers and a great way to avoid returns. The rest of your listing is very professional and well worded.   http://cgi.ebay.com/BABY-GAP-FAUX-COWHIDE-DRESS12-18-M-EURO-74-80-HCTS_W0QQitemZ150360973107QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2302365f33&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_3970wt_1879

Happy Friday everyone! Are you running back to school auctions? Uniform items are selling right now. Even used uniform pieces are worth selling if 1) they are a known uniform brand or 2) you can put several like items in a lot. Of course they should be in good (preferably very good to great) condition. Look at it this way – if you spend $9.99 at Target on shorts for your child, and he wears them for a year and you can still get $4-5 for them…that can’t be beat! Try it!

The listing of the day has a beautiful gallery photo.

The colors of the item are so pretty and show up well in the photograph. I like the layout of the dress and the bloomers – this has been the kind of angle I usually favor myself when I take my own photographs.

NWOT MVB LEOPARD DAISY DREAMGIRL OUTFIT 3M EURO 56 HCTS

In addition, the listing offers other photos – very useful – and a thorough description of the item with good details.

Good work newtoyou1260!

How’s everyone doing on this Thursday at the end of July?

NEW Girls 12 Lilly Pulitzer Shoo Fly Capri Pants HCTS

This listing has a great title and a great gallery pic. The keywords in the title are all of importance and none are wasted. The picture is crisp and clear, the colors look great and the white background makes the pants pop off the screen.  I think buyers will appreciate the brevity used in the length of the description as well. The shipping rate is more than fair and the seller’s 100% feedback stands out to me also. Good Job on this Sylver Creek!

NWT Hanna Chestnut Tree Girl Dress 150 11 12 13 hcts

This listing’s gallery pic is very well done. It’s photographed clearly with good color and the way the dress “floats” due to the white background really makes it stand out and look its best. The seller has useful links included in the listing as well as clearly delineated areas of information (Shipping, Payment, etc.). In addition, the use of her store’s logo photograph by each of these headings is attractive. The listing is clear and makes good use of white space in order not to overwhelm the buyer. Great Job Kallisstuff!!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Are you listing? School is starting soon and people still need some summer things like bathing suits! Don’t forget Halloween because people are shopping already.

Huge Lot Boys 12 18 month Fall Winter Carter’s TCP HCTS

This listing for a boys lot has a great collage pic that attracts the eye and shows exactly what you will receive if you bid. The bold black graphic lines delineating the individual photos bring the whole collage together with style.

The item is on sale and has Best Offer so price-wise the listing is quite competitive. The description is easy to read and accurately describes what the buyer will receive. The seller offers a very fair shipping discount for additional items purchased. The seller’s logo and graphics used for the listing are clean and attractive and professional. In addition, she links her other listings right in the item description, always a good idea. The individual large photos are helpful, as are the store categories.

Great Job Jacebstreasure!

I don’t have a lot to say about this listing because, well….it’s great! Clear pictures, clear descriptions, nice clean layout. I really, really enjoy the positive way you address the details (payment, shipping, returns, feedback). You come across as a very friendly seller who is eager and willing to work with buyers to make the transaction successful for both parties.

A super listing from SylverCreek!

LITTLE TIKES DOLLHOUSE KITCHEN TABLE CHAIRS FOOD HCTS

Love, love, love your pictures! It’s so appealing that you took the time to set up the whole little “play kitchen” scenario. It made me want to bid on your auction, for certain!

Besides the great photos,  you have a clear description of what is included with the auction.

I really like your paragraph addressing feedback:

Feedback is the perfect way to let me know your item was received and you are happy with it. Customer service is very important to me. If you have any questions or concerns, or are not happy with your item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will leave feedback once it has been left for me.

What a nice way to ask for feedback without being too pushy.

Super listing from Melissalaneous Twins and More, great job on your auction!
