How To Sell Things On Ebay Without Any Feedback

A friend of mine decided to sell his One Piece action figures. I am not sure why. Perhaps he wanted some extra money for his study. Actually I want to help him by buying the action figures, but too bad since I already have the same collection that I bought from Amazon.
So I encourage him to sell the action figures online. There is a lot of website that enable you to sell your belongings online. The famous one and the one we choose is Ebay. The verification process is so hard but the outcome is good. We succeed selling the action figures on the first try.
Ebay as an advertising platform
For those who do not know, Ebay is an auction website where you can advertise online for free. Ebay is easy to use. Only a few steps is needed to advertise his action figures on Ebay. Since Ebay has a lot of traffic, he had received some bids within a few days.
The best feature about Ebay is that you can do auction and you can set the reserve price. This actually helps a lot if your products have high demands. Before listing the action figures, we are worried if the final bid is low. However once the auction over, both of us smile a lot since we never expect to sell second hand items at 75 percent of the original price.
Wow, selling items on Ebay is so lucrative.
How to be trusted in Ebay
Okay, both of us are still new on Ebay. So how we make people trust us? We still have no positive feedback but we managed to end all auctions successfully.
The biggest secret to sell on Ebay is to let the potential buyers trust and believe you.
So, how to do that?
1. Put your blog address in the advertisement.
Since you already put your blog in the advertisement, potential buyers can have more details on you and this will likely to build trust. They will also feel safe because they believe that you will not be a conman just for a few hundreds. Who wants to sacrifice his blog reputation just for a few hundred? Maybe there are, but not many.
2. Provide forum username / display name
If you do not have a blog, you should at least provide your display name in an online forum that you are active. This is so that potential buyers know where to find you in virtual world.
3. Take the real pictures of the item
I believe that potential buyers tend to be more interested in an item if you provide the real pictures of the item. This is so that interested buyers know the condition of the item and will not accuse you of fraud when they receive the item.
Perhaps some of you has planned to put fake status of an item so that people will buy from you, but please remember what will you feel if you are being cheated? If you don't want to be cheated, don' cheat.
If you are really interested to sell in Ebay, there are a few e-book might be a great help but it is not essential. As long as you be an honest seller and give suitable prices, your item sure sells like a hot cake. Even my friend managed to sell his 17 inch LCD in Mudah in first try.
Besides Ebay, forum and classified site is also a good place to sell things online. Since my friend decided to sell One Piece action figures, he can actually find any One Piece related forum and open a selling thread. Since most of the forumers are One Piece fan, it should be a piece of cake to sell One Piece related products there. Unlike Ebay, you can negotiate the price and discuss about the item directly on forum.
To get the best result, it is good if you try all of the available option.
Good luck.
