    When it comes to ebay, for a new seller, a lot of factor demand immense amount of attention. For example, if you notice the pros, you'll see that their game plan is totally different, and that's why they're making their bank accounts grow fat. They do numerous "secret" things that capture their audience attention.

    1 - First, they see what sells the best. If they're in niche, then they see how much potential buyers are in that niche and then they do business according to it. Since, their expectations are set. Now, they know what they need and how much they need in order to run everything quickly.

    2 -
    For earning some ratings and feedback, you've to sell some cheap items first. Mostly, the new comers think that it's brilliant to sell an iphone, which is not true. If you aren't doing business, then it's probably a good idea, but if you want to do some serious business, always start with cheap products, so that you can attract as many buyers as you can.

    3 - Try to locate super cheap bargains. Since, your target should be to defeat your competitors in terms of price and quality. If you're selling a handbag, don't try to get it from a local store after fighting on its prices for hours. Try to get in touch with those factories that make those handbags. That's how you get super cheap bargains. And, that's how you do business.

    4 - It's also pertinent to describe each details of your item. Even if it has some issues, describe it. Don't try to hide things, as your goals is to have returning customers. You've to win their trust. It's like building a list of buyers in internet marketing.

    5 - If you can deliver more than their expectations, then do it. This will pay you back big time! I guarantee. For example, if you're selling an iphone, give its charger too as a free gift. You've to exceed your customers' expectations. That's how you win them, and keep them coming back again and again.

    Thank you!

    Regards.

    You really just have to built feedback with 0 feedback to begin with, that's just how everyone start. The best you can do to increase your chance of selling is to provide better main picture, title keyword, and be more competitive on pricing. Although ebay also does hold your payment until you reach your 25th feedback then you will start receiving your payment instantly.
