The way you market your product ofcourse matters. Pick the products that are recent and new , these sell better and yes dont forget to mention brand( Apple/Sony ). Things sell with higher rates when a word like BRAND adds to it. So even a local product with a brand tag can go off well. - Rarity adds up
Rare and unique things also sell well so things which are difficult to get are additional point. - Keywords for searching
Tags/Keywords another are important aspect. you have to think in terms of buyer. Ask your self before adding a title will someone search these keywords?
like people are more likely to search Iron man Tshirts instead of plain shirt. - Combo packs
Selling in Combo’s giving something additional like A belt with your denims or shades with hat or the full combo. - Free listing
Now everything does not come for free so does with ebay it charge you a small amount on your transaction that is been carried. Fees like insertion fee to list items and final value fee when the item sells. Be smart on these as Ebay does have free listing days regularly. - Timing your product.
Time plays an important factor while posting. An umbrella wont go off on a good deal during summers. - Automating Auctions
Automate your auctions with an auction management service like vendio. They provide auction templates where you type in your headlines and text, insert your images, set your price, terms, length of auction, and schedule your auctions to launch at any day or time you specify. It also tracks your inventory and sales, send automated emails to customers, provide a PayPal or credit card gateway, and automatically post feedback once payment is received. - Getting warranties
If you sell electronics or cameras, you can make extra money by offering a warranty on your products through SquareTrade at www.squaretrade.com. - Branding
If you go on the eBay search engine and type in eBay store design, you will find a number of eBay sellers who will design an eBay store for your with branding and matching auction templates. This will give all of your listings a similar look and feel and help brand your business so people can find you again. - Experiment
Don’t be afraid to try something new. Just be careful that you don’t throw a lot of money into something that isn’t yet proven. Try new products, new categories, new sources, new titles, and so on. eBay is nowhere near being a mature marketplace. It is still growing and evolving
