Your auction is up and running. You ve got bidders seeing yourauction and looking things over. Now you just need to push them over the edge. Thisarticle will cover various ways to increase your bids from prospective buyers.
First off, make sure that your display picture is of the highest quality. You mighthave the best written description in the world, but if your picture doesn t mirroryour description that will turn bidders off. Use a digital camera if possible.Create a clean, unobtrusive picture. Take care in the background and lighting of thepicture and you should be all set.
Adding an About Me page is a great way to increase your response as well. If yourbidders have some personal information about you and your business this goes alongway to establishing that trusting relationship between you and your customers. Youcan also post a few special offers on this page for people who take the time to lookat it. Also, ask visitors to sign up for your mailing list as well.
Sign up at Square Trade, and display their logo on your auctions. This showspotential bidders that you are committed to resolving any disputes that might arise.Power Sellers always carry this logo on their auctions, and you should too. It makesyou look much more professional.
Clearly spell out your terms and conditions making it very visible. Give details ofthings like shipping times and prices, the refund policy and anything else you wantto make your buyers aware of. This also helps create trust between you and yourcustomers. Plus having it all spelled out clearly, helps if any dispute issues ariseas well.
Display your good feedback on your auction so that visitors don t have to go lookingfor it. You can simply cut and paste the text, or create a screenshot image of yourfeedback. If you have a 100% feedback rating, be sure to make a mention of that aswell.
If you have room on your auction title, use NR (No Reserve) at the end of yourtitle. Bidders like auctions that have no reserve, so having this on your titleallows bidders to see that your auction has no reserve without actually having toclick on your auction link.
Make sure you auction highlights the benefits of your product and not just thefeatures. You want to tell your visitors why your product is good for THEM. You canhave all the features in the world, but without describing the benefits of thosefeatures many bidders will pass on by.
In order to reach those last few buyers that you might miss otherwise, acceptvarious unusual payment methods like checks or money orders. Many other sellersdon t take these forms of payment, but the fact that you do may bring you that extrasale.
Upgrade your auction. Buying upgrades helps get you listed higher in the list ofitems. This can help a lot if your product is in a crowded category. You might justfind out that it s worth the money.
