Sale on Avito: how to put up a product for sale. How to list your products on eBay (instruction) What are the advantages of eBay

Trading on eBay makes it possible for anyone to open a business without much investment, take an existing business to the world level, and sometimes just make good money by dismantling cabinets and pantries.

How to start selling on eBay

In order to start selling on eBay, you will need an account on the site (you can use a buyer account), a card and a valid PayPal account with the right to receive funds to the account. They must be linked to each other - i.e. the card must be linked to the PayPal system, and the PayPal account must be linked to the eBay account.

You will also need to be verified by the site, in some cases you will have to send scans of documents confirming your identity and that the account belongs to you.

And, of course, in order to sell anywhere in the world, you need to know English.

How to get sales and clients.

Novice sellers need to earn a positive reputation. Forget selling on eBay if you think that selling on the Internet is an easy way to make a lot of money, and overseas buyers are willing to pay for everything, and it will not be difficult for them to sell a fake brand under the guise of the original, a non-working item under the guise of a working one, and the main thing is to sell, and then think about how to deliver the thing to the buyer and how much.

Selling on eBay is the same business as everyone else, and you need to treat it accordingly - take seriously and comply with all the requirements and rules of the site, quickly and competently answer buyers' questions, send goods without delay, be honest and polite - all this will allow you to receive positive feedback, from which the seller's rating on eBay is formed. And don't chase sudden wealth - remember that a million starts with a cent.

What can you sell on eBay.

Before figuring out how to sell on ebay, you need to decide what to sell. The site sells both new and used items. The range of goods is the most diverse - from a rusty nail to cutting-edge electronics

There are a lot of clothes, shoes, electronics on the site. However, it will be quite difficult to compete with old, proven sellers (especially Chinese ones) in sales of modern goods and clothing, unless you can offer customers exclusive goods or something hand-made.

In general, rare and collectible items are perhaps the best-selling items on eBay. Moreover, collectible goods for Westerners are goods that for us, residents of the former USSR, are of no particular importance. Porcelain figurines from the Soviet era, handicrafts, badges and insignia, Soviet banknotes and even newspapers - all this is sold on eBay and is in great demand.

Criteria for a properly listed item on eBay.

Good choice product categories. Placing a product in the right category will increase the chances of your product being found by a large number of buyers. The site will help you choose the right category. One product can be placed in 2 categories - this will increase the chance of a quick sale, but you will have to pay double insertion fee

Correct Product Name should contain detailed information about it - brand name, size, color. Ideally, a name from the keywords that buyers use to search for a similar product. Keywords can be viewed from competitors selling a similar product.

realistic product description. The key here is honesty. If you are selling a used product with chips and scratches, please indicate each of them in detail, accompanied by appropriate photos that clearly show the damage. Do not be afraid to give a detailed description of the shortcomings - this will not stop Western customers from buying, but it will significantly reduce the risk of receiving a negative review from a buyer who considers himself deceived. Agree, a capacious definition of “liar” in feedback will significantly reduce the reputation of the seller and scare away a large number of potential buyers in the future.

Clear and crisp photos. It is better to make them in the studio, or in conditions as close as possible to studio ones - in daylight, against a white background, with a good camera, so that it is clear what item is being sold and in what condition it is. There are many articles on the Internet on the topic "How to take pictures at home" - do not be too lazy to read and use their advice

The ideal option is to take several photos from different angles, for used or old things and objects, it is necessary to take out all the shortcomings of the goods in separate photos - chips, defects, missing parts on objects, scuffs and traces of wearing on clothes. Photo flaws can be corrected in photo editors, but you should not get carried away, because. the item in the photo should look as naturalistic as possible in order to avoid negative feedback from “deceived” buyers.

Adequate prices. Before bidding on a product you are offering, do your research on similar products and see what your competitors are bidding on. You should not overestimate the price too much, but openly dumping is also a bad idea. Competitors can complain about you, and the site will limit the possibilities of your account to the point of being unable to sell more than a few lots. Set an adequate price - remember the principle "more cheap sales are better than one expensive one."

actual shipping cost. You should not include the profit from the sale in the shipping cost - remember that the buyer has the right to dispute the overpriced, in his opinion, shipping cost, and you will have no choice but to return some of the money to him. If you want to attract a buyer, include the cost of shipping in the price of the goods, and make the delivery "Free shipping". This psychological technique has a positive effect on buyers - they immediately see the final price, without hidden fees and overpayments.

Costs when selling on eBay.

Product purchase costs. They can be minimized if you sell using the drop shipping system - put photos of the product on the site, and when something is sold, buy the product from the seller with a request to send it directly to your buyer. Many Chinese stores offer to work on this system, however, delivery times will be considerable and this method of sales is generally not reliable - you are not responsible for the quality of the goods and the timing of their dispatch. You can work on the drop-shipping system only with trusted sellers.

eBay commission– 2 types of fees – insertion fee– for exhibiting goods (Up to 50 lots per month – free of charge), final value fee- for its sale (charged separately from the cost of the lot and the cost of delivery) - 10% of the total cost, but not more than $250. Separately, you will have to pay extra for a more advanced type of store, the ability to highlight the description of the lot, show the lot on different branches of eBay, and other improvements to the account or lot. You can read more about Standard Fees for Selling on eBay. Money is withdrawn from your card, which, in addition to linking to PayPal, will need to be linked in your personal account.

PayPal fee– is charged for the transfer of funds from the buyer to your account. There is a separate fee for withdrawing funds from a PayPal account - for countries that allow receiving funds to a PayPal account, withdrawals are usually carried out at a lower rate than the real one, for countries that do not accept funds to a PayPal account, you will have to pay intermediaries.

This is basic information on whether you can sell on eBay and how to do it. You can read more in the relevant articles on the Internet and, of course, in the rules of the eBay site itself.

The eBay online auction is a marketplace that connects sellers and buyers around the world. Making purchases is not difficult even for beginners. Sales are more difficult. What you need to know in order to sell on eBay from Russia (seller account, features of submitting an ad and restrictions on goods offered for sale) - within the framework of this article, all issues related to trading on a popular online auction will be analyzed.

How to become a seller on eBay

Any online sales begin with the decision to start a business and the choice of a suitable online trading platform, of course, in demand, such as eBay. It is popular due to its simple and user-friendly interface and its reach to a wide audience.

Many sellers from Russia, who offer both specific Russian goods and general goods, have attracted the following advantages to eBay:

continuous development and expansion of its activities in the world;
introduction of the Russian interface;
providing residents from Russia with a wide range of rights and opportunities;
conducting sales in the form of an auction, as well as indicating a fixed price for the goods;
small commission.

Before the start of sales and the solution of the question of how to sell the available goods at an online auction, you should register as a seller. This will allow you to put up lots for sale and receive cash as payment for the sold items. The detailed instructions below will help you go through all the stages of registration.

Registration of Russian users is carried out on the official website at www.eBay.com. If the page opens in English, then a special button with the planet icon on the top panel will allow you to change it. Hover over and select the interface language "Russian" in the drop-down menu. Note that it is enough for users registered as buyers to obtain the status of a seller by entering company information. Sellers can both sell their goods and buy from others.

The registration procedure includes several stages, we will dwell on each of them in more detail:

Go to the official eBay website and click the "Register" button on the top bar.
Select to create a company account and enter the name of the legal entity or individual entrepreneur, as well as the email address and phone number belonging to the organization.
Specify a password that will later be used to log in to the system.
Read the user agreement and the provisions of the data protection notice. Next, click the "Register" button.
In the form that opens, indicate the address of the company, which must be located on the territory of the Russian Federation, and other data that must be filled in. The address must be real; if during the verification it is found that the address does not correspond to the actual location, access to sales will be closed. Remember: trading is possible only in a certain list of countries, for example, residents of Ukraine cannot sell directly on eBay.
Come up with a unique and beautiful login that will not be negative even when translated into English. The login may differ from email and should be easy to remember. It is the invented name that potential buyers will be the first to see, therefore, in many respects, the decision whether to purchase goods from you or not will depend on the specified login. If you can’t come up with a nickname on your own, use the system prompt and choose the most suitable and easy to understand. Keep in mind that the established login can be changed once a month, so if you hurry up and specify an incorrect login, it can be corrected.
Click the "Save and continue" button - this will lead to the creation of an account and after passing the verification, access to the work will be open.

Users registered as buyers should change their account details to a seller. You can do this after logging into your account through the "My eBay" menu. The experience of the buyer and the presence of positive feedback increases the chances of confirmation of the questionnaire by the administrators of the online auction.

Please note that all payments on eBay are made through the PayPal payment system. To get started, you need to register an electronic wallet on the official website at www.paypal.com. When creating an account, select "Corporate account" - this will allow you to accept payments as payment for goods sold. If you have a registered wallet on PayPal, it is enough to change the status of the account from personal to corporate, indicating information about the organization. You can do this after logging into your account.

Requirements for sellers on eBay from Russia

When deciding how to sell on eBay from Russia, pay attention to a number of requirements for sellers. These include:

work experience, including shopping;
confirmation of the account through the specified email address;
entering a real mobile phone number;
A valid PayPal corporate account must be linked.

Experience in the auction and the presence of positive feedback, including when making purchases, is a prerequisite for placing lots for sale. This not only increases the loyalty of potential buyers, but also affects the decisions on admission to sales by the eBay administration.

If you have no experience after registration, make several purchases for small amounts and ask sellers to write positive reviews.

Please note that in addition to providing a valid phone number, merchants must also complete the PIN registration process. To do this, open an account, go to personal data and click on the "Create" button to the right of the "Telephone PIN" line. The auction security system will require you to re-enter your account login and password. Next, come up with and enter a 6-digit code, which will subsequently act as a PIN code and will be required when restoring your account or contacting support by phone. When finished, click on the "Submit" button - the code will be generated.

Attaching a PayPal account is also carried out on the tab with personal data. To do this, to the right of the "Reimbursement method" line, click on the "Add" button and select PayPal as a payment method. The system will automatically direct you to the payment system website and ask you to enter your login and password to access your e-wallet. Read the terms of the agreement carefully and click "Agree and continue". A notification about the successful addition of a new payment method will open. Be careful, because once you attach a wallet, the funds on it will be automatically deducted from commissions, as well as refunds under the eBay guarantee programs. Write-off will be carried out without additional confirmation from the seller.

E-mail confirmation does not raise any special questions. To do this, just follow the link sent in the message to the specified email address.

After the completion of all events, the account is considered prepared for placing lots for sale.

Commissions and fees on eBay

In the relationship between the seller and the buyer, the eBay marketplace acts as an intermediary that essentially accompanies the purchase and sale transaction. The activity of any intermediary is aimed at extracting the profit that eBay receives from each completed purchase in the form of a commission.

Despite the fact that registration is free, the following types of payments are established for users:

highlighting an ad (Optional Feature Fee) in order to attract attention - depending on the method, the cost of the service is $ 0.2-2;
the commission for a successful transaction (Final Value Fee) is 10% of the total cost, including delivery;
withdrawal of funds from a personal PayPal wallet included in a single structure - 4%.

All commissions are deducted from the attached PayPal e-wallet automatically. If you disagree with the amount of debited funds, please contact the auction support service with a request to clarify the reasons for the debited funds.

Note that there is an additional fee for placing more than 50 lots per month, which is $ 0.3 for each ad submitted in excess of the norm. Only 1 photo of a product can be placed free of charge, in case of attaching 2 or more photos, a fee is provided in the amount of $0.3 to $1, depending on their number. It is possible to place additional photos free of charge by attaching links to special storages.

For more information about fees when selling on eBay from Russia, see the video:

A simple and user-friendly interface available to Russian users helps to successfully sell goods not only domestically, but also to foreign buyers. When listing and pricing an item on eBay, please note that the total amount of commissions and fees in the event of a successful sale is up to 25% of the value of the item sold. Include these costs in the price at the time of registration and placement of the lot, since a change in the cost after publication may lead to dissatisfaction with buyers.

The eBay online auction is a platform where people from all over the world sell and buy various goods. At the same time, it is an opportunity to earn. Since 2014, it has also appeared on Russian sellers, which means it's time to get acquainted with what and how to sell on eBay.

What to consider before selling on eBay

To begin with, the process of selling goods on eBay is a serious matter and should be approached responsibly.

There are two types of sellers on eBay: people who want to sell unwanted items and people who are professionally selling goods on the Internet. This article is equally useful to both, since the essence of the process does not change. The difference is that in the second case, you will have to put in more effort. But the profit will be much higher.

Initially, the site works in English, but for convenience, you can switch to Russian. The language change button is on the top right. Before you start, be sure to read the rules of the site. You need to know and follow them without fail if you expect to successfully sell on eBay.

If you violate the rules - whether intentionally or out of ignorance - your account will be blocked, and after that you will no longer sell anything.

Registration

The first step is to create an account. The registration process is simple and is unlikely to cause you any difficulties. But a few aspects deserve special attention.

First of all, think carefully about the login. When the buyer will correspond with you, the first thing he will pay attention to is your name. And if you specify a set of unreadable characters, you are unlikely to inspire confidence in a potential buyer.

Also, please note that eBay has registered buyers from all over the world, so do not choose anything as a login that could cause negative associations with a representative of a particular country.

The best option is to enter your real name. But if for some reason you do not want to do this, choose a representative and official nickname that will inspire confidence in buyers.

If you suddenly want to change your login, you can do this no more than once every 30 days. In addition, you should not get carried away if your store has regular customers - in this case, they may not find you when they need it.

It is desirable to add a photo to the profile, people tend to trust such accounts, because it becomes clear that there is a real person on the other side of the screen. The photo should be moderately official, although a smile on it does not hurt.

Be sure to enter a work email that you have constant access to. It is better that you receive notifications of new letters. The fact is that you will receive notifications in the mail about users who are interested in your product, about new messages on the site and about new questions about the product. The speed of your responses determines whether a person buys from you or from another seller. And if a competitor responds faster than you, then you will lose a buyer.

The phone number that you enter on the site must also be working and active. It is needed to restore access to your account if you forget your password or your account is hacked by scammers.

Finally, you need to get a PayPal account. Buyers can pay with a Visa card. In theory, sellers also have this opportunity, but in practice it is very inconvenient to use the card, there are problems with withdrawing funds, and so on. All serious eBay sellers use PayPal exclusively.

Features of selling on eBay

So, you have registered on eBay. How to start selling items on eBay?

Before placing items for sale, it is recommended that you first place a few orders yourself. Why is this needed?

The fact is that by buying real goods, you prove to the site administration that you are not a scammer. You show that you are an ordinary person who wants to sell your item on eBay and has already gained experience buying on the site. Without this, the account may even be blocked on suspicion of fraud. In addition, with these purchases you will gain your first rating and receive positive feedback from sellers, thereby increasing the confidence of future buyers. It is unlikely that anyone will want to buy from a seller with a zero rating and no reviews.

In order not to spend a lot of money, order a few inexpensive, but the lots you need, and then proceed to design your own store.

What do you need to know before you start selling?

Carefully study the available product categories and choose the most suitable for your product.
Study the prices of competitors for similar products and set an adequate price.
When specifying the characteristics, indicate everything as accurately and correctly as possible. Pay attention to the features that distinguish your product from analogues.
Be sure to write down all the shortcomings and defects. If the buyer finds a defect after receipt, which was not reported in the description, he is fully entitled to a refund.
Post high-quality photos that show the product, preferably from different angles.
Include all costs in the price, including commission and delivery, so that there are no incomprehensible moments later.
In the name of the product, write keywords and the most important characteristics.

When compiling an ad, look at other offers of similar products and draw up your lot based on them. Remember that you need to describe everything reliably, indicating the advantages and disadvantages. eBay cares about all participants in the transaction, so it carefully monitors that sellers and buyers fulfill the conditions in good faith. If you keep silent about the defects of the product or describe it inaccurately, and the buyer is ultimately dissatisfied, there is a risk that the administration will block your account. At a minimum, you will have to return the money for it, plus the buyer may leave you a negative review, which will negatively affect your reputation.

Listing process

We've covered all the nuances you need to consider before selling on eBay. Let's proceed directly to how to display the goods for sale.

So, to place a product, click "Sell" or "Sales" at the top of the screen. First of all, enter the title of the future announcement - if anything, then you can change it. Write a short product name. At this stage, the main thing is to be clear what you are selling. Do not forget that the title is written in English. In the title, it is best to indicate the most key information: the name of the product, its condition and category.

Based on the title you enter, you will be prompted to select the most appropriate product categories. You need to put the one that suits the most - it depends on how many users will see your ad.

If the search did not give you the category you need, find it manually. To do this, go to the "Browse categories" tab and select a category yourself.

The next step is the product description. First, choose how to create the description - simple or complex. They differ in that in a complex way there are more sections with information and more photos that can be attached. After choosing a method, proceed to the description itself.

Select the condition of the item below. There are four options available:

"brand new" - new;
"new in box" - new in the box;
"used" - used;
"used very nice" - used, but in perfect condition.

Next, add a photo. The minimum quantity is 1, the limit is 12. It is better to add as many photos as possible showing the product from different angles so that the person has a clear idea of what he is buying. Try to take photos yourself, and do not insert photos of the same goods, then it will immediately be clear that you are selling a real thing.

The next step is to fill in the technical specifications. This part is very specific to each product, so there are no universal tips here. Truthfully fill in all the information, and if you do not know some technical characteristics, look in ads with the same goods. If that doesn't work for you, it's best to just leave the fields blank.

Then enter a text description. It can be copied from another ad that sells the same product, or you can write it yourself. If you copy text, reread it carefully so that false or inaccurate information does not creep in. But it is still recommended to compose the text yourself.

This text should contain a description of the work and condition of the goods, as well as the terms of delivery and return. Here write about how you accept payment, to which countries you do not ship the goods (if any), whether the buyer will receive a tracking number and other similar nuances.

Finally, at the last stage, you are required to enter all the information regarding the financial relationship of the seller and the buyer, namely:

sale type;
price;
delivery method;
order processing time;
the possibility of a return.

Let's take a closer look at the first point. What are we talking about?

The fact is that there are several types of trade on eBay. The first type is selling at a fixed price. The scheme is as follows: you expose the product, determine the price, if the buyer agrees with the price, he clicks "buy", after which the product is considered sold.

The second type is an auction. The seller who puts the goods up for auction determines only the minimum price and duration of the auction. During this time, everyone offers their price. The only condition is that this price must be higher than the last offered. At the end of the term, the lot goes to the user who offered the highest price.

The third type is the reverse auction. In another way, this type of sales is called "make offer". Unlike a regular auction, users do not offer a higher price, but on the contrary, knock it down. But the winner is not the one who offers the lowest price, but the one whose conditions the seller accepts.

Choose the most suitable option for yourself. After that, mark the cost. If you are selling at a fixed price, then set it. For an auction, set a floor price, and for a "make offer" set the size you want, but be prepared to haggle.

To select a delivery method, you need to switch to the advanced version of the ad, even if before that you filled out everything in the simplified one. The fact is that only American postal services are available in the simplified editor.

To switch, click "Switch to form with more choices" - this link is located at the very top of the form. After switching, scroll down again, reach the choice of the delivery method and indicate the city from which the goods will be sent. After that, you will have all the available delivery methods, from which choose the most suitable one.

Below, enter your PayPal account number to which the buyer's payment will be transferred. If you want to protect yourself, you can block access to payment for users who do not have a PayPal account. In addition, choose how many days you will process the order. Please note that the time is specified in working days, that is, weekends are not taken into account. Ideally, choose no more than three working days, and if possible, even less. But do not forget that if you do not process the order on time, sanctions will be applied to your account.

Many users have often heard about it, but do not know how it works. For some, the process or the auction seems like a lengthy affair. But really, selling on eBay is easy. Moreover, this process is somewhat addictive.

If you want to participate in its work, you must register as a participant. The registration procedure is paid - only 30 cents. For this money, your eBay auction will be seen by millions of potential buyers.

In order to sell goods, you must provide a valid credit card during registration. This is necessary to identify you, and the auction will make sure that you are over 18 years old, and you, logically, will be more serious about both participants and goods. After registration, you can start creating an offer to sell your goods.

To sell on Ebay correctly and successfully, you must first familiarize yourself with similar products offered for sale by other sellers. See how a similar product is described by others, what photos are uploaded, what is not told by the seller out of ignorance, or in order to hide something about the product. Remember that it is necessary to tell about the attractive and strong sides of the product.

To start the selling procedure, you must activate the Sell button at the top of any eBay auction page. The Sell Your Item page will load. On it you need to fill in sections about the subject of sale - the name of the goods and their description. Then you need to specify the minimum bid, which will be the auction step if there is demand from the auction participants. Do not be lazy and provide additional information about the product being sold, as well as place photos of the product. One product photo is accepted by the eBay Picture service free of charge. Additional photos for one product cost 15 cents each. Specify the period during which the product will be put up for sale.

In the Shipping & Payment Terms section (terms of shipment and payment), you must specify the payment method acceptable to you, the address for payment, as well as the address for sending the goods. In addition, you need to fill in the boxes about the cost of shipping, and, if necessary, write instructions for shipping the goods. Check the entered information and confirm that everything is filled out correctly. From now on, your item is up for auction.

When the auction ends, following its results, an email will be sent to your e-mail, in which the winner and the delivery address of the goods will be indicated. When you receive a notification that the funds for the goods have been transferred to your account, you need to send the goods to the buyer at the specified address. Depending on the chosen method of receiving money (bank transfer or check), the buyer sends money to the specified address during registration. Wait for the cashing of the check and send the goods to the buyer.

If the buyer paid for the purchase by credit card, then for security reasons, the funds will first go to the eBay account, which will send a payment notification to your e-mail. After the buyer receives the purchased item, the eBay system will credit the funds to your credit card.

Select the selling format "Selling Format"

You must decide whether to put the goods up for auction, or sell at a fixed price. If this is an auction, then "Auction Style", or if at a fixed price, then "Fixed Price".

Select category "Category"

This is the section (part) of the Ebay site that has the most similar goods. Choose wisely. Look closely for other similar products. If it is in several categories, then in one the goods are placed for free, and in the second for a small fee. It is impossible to place goods on "maybe" as it will be withdrawn from the auction. And if this happens several times, your account will be blocked.

How to Write a Title and Description for an Ebay Product

Since Ebay is an online store (auction), it is necessary to sell according to the laws of promoting goods on the Internet. So a catchy, specific and competent headline is a must. Next comes the product description. Simply and clearly list all the main characteristics, the text must be literate (without errors), otherwise no one will simply find the product.

How to post a product image on ebay

Upload a product photo. The photo must be original. Drawings, other people's photos, photos of the manufacturer's website are not allowed. The better the photo is taken, the more likely it is to sell the goods quickly and at a good price. Photo format - jpg. You can add 12 photos for free, the rest are added for money. If you do not want to pay for the rest of the photos, then you can place the photo on a third-party hosting, and add links to them in the product (lot) description.

How to set a starting price for an item on Ebay

Next, you should set the starting price "Starting Price". The starting price, chosen correctly, greatly increases your chance of making good money on Ebay. If the initial price of the lot is low, then there is an option that the final price is unlikely to suit you. And if the starting price is too high, then hardly anyone will buy the product. Therefore, you should carefully study the prices on Ebay for a similar group of goods. It is possible to use such an option as buying goods immediately, without bidding, i.e. listing at a fixed price BuyItNow.

How to determine the duration of auctions on Ebay

The product can be offered for sale within 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. It is reasonable to calculate the duration of the auction so that their end falls on the weekend. Ebay is most active on weekends. It is worth remembering the time, that is, the difference in time zones. The product should be put up for auction when the target audience is in the middle of the day.

Below is a detailed instruction in pictures (March 2013):
