Prepare Yourself. . Mint: in perfect condition. I advise you get using it asap. You'll probably do even better if you fill a niche than if you sell something common. Oh, and always use first class post - don't be cheap. PayPal: an electronic payment method accepted by most sellers. Follow this up with "Thanks for your payment, I have posted your [item name] today". While it's good to be able to understand others' lingo, avoid using it unless you really need to (for example, if you run out of space in an item's title). Rare: used and abused on ebay, now entirely meaningless. If you try to sell something that you just don't know anything about then you'll never write a good description and sell it for a good price. What to Sell. There's usually little point in starting a fixed price auction for $100 when someone else is selling the item for $90. There are going to be ups and downs when you sell on ebay. Words. Being a really good ebay seller, more than anything else, is about providing genuinely good and honest customer service. Firstly, you need to know what it is you're going to sell: what's your specialisation?You'll do far better on ebay if you become a great source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in those products will come back to you again and again. The cost is very low and there is a free perioid at the start too. The chances are that someone, somewhere will have seen fit to explain it. Many people on ebay are not knowledgeable buyers and you will lose them if you write a load of gobbledegook all across your auction. The most important of these is to always sell what you know. Non-paying bidder: a bidder who wins an auction but does not then go on to buy the item. As you think about what to sell, there are a a couple of matters to look at. That's the only foolproof way to protect your reputation. You might think you are not particularly involved in anything, but if you think about what sort of things you commonly buy and which websites you go to most a great deal, I'm sure you'll identify some sort of interest. Snail Mail: the post, which is obviously very slow compared to email. Out of the things you know enough about, you should then consider which things you could actually get for a good enough price to resell, and how suitable they would be for posting. If all else fails mention it to your friends and family: they'll almost certainly say "Oh,

Info on what I'm adding and why it should stay

Ebay is taking the right of having private feedbacks away from sellers as of 10/26. You will not be able to list an item to sell if your feedbacks are private. eBay has not bothered to notifiy sellers of this. The info here: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200610.shtml#2006-10-02120653

Also many people are complaining to ebay at: http://pages.ebay.com/help/newtoebay/suggest.html

• Oh excellent. I always hated the idea that sellers could have secret feedback. If I remember right, the "private feedback" policy started when it was eBay's policy that feedback could never be removed. I do wonder how you can say "without notifying sellers", though, since today is October 5th, it takes effect on the 26th, and you linked us to exactly where they are giving such notice. Further, I don't see in what way it is a "controversy" -- at least, your edit doesn't explain it. --jpgordon 19:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

"Controversies"

Couple of comments about the "Other controversies" section:

1. Why is the Diebenkorn scam an "eBay controversy"? There was no controversy; there was an unethical art dealer committing fraud.
2. Why is PayPal's paying that fine stemming from before eBay acquired them an eBay controversy?
3. Is the Baazee CEO episode still active? What's the status of it? Isn't it more of a general website controversy rather than anything relating to eBay?
4. In what way are the ticket scalping issues controversial?

I've had someone Auction Snipe me twice! >:( Does this happen to anyone else? -Timmyfan

In the "Other Controversies" section it states that "eBay discourages sellers from using independent money-wiring companies such as Western Union and MoneyGram". I assume that this was added as people feel that this discourages competition for eBay's payment service, PayPal. If that is the case would this still be the case if that is not the reason it is discouraged? Both WU and MoneyGram discourage the use of their services on eBay as well: http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/mrkt_safety/instantcashtransfer.html#western If this is not the reason that this is considered controversial could someone clarify this?

Third Party Providers for eBay

A note about the third party providers/auction management software that help automate business on eBay?

Inc: Marketworks Channeladvisor Fruition

to name a few

19/10/2006

Free third party providers can be found on ebay.com under seller tools. The best one I have found is Turbo Lister.

Income being derived from Ebay on an automated basis is more than using third party providers. A discussion of third party providers that provide income on Ebay can be found here

Unusual items

I've tightened up the "unusual items" section, removing those that were only referred to by eBay item numbers (or copies of eBay listings), given that anyone who wants to can post something odd on eBay and then list it here. I've changed the comments so they say that external source for "unusualness" need be provided. --jpgordon 23:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

eBay Stores

I am new to Wikipedia so please forgive my ignorance.

I have added a new section on eBay Stores.

Does anyone know how I add my cite in the References area? http://www.proimpulse.com/ebay-store-design/ 16:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

What are all the References at the bottom of the page then? There are several self prmotional links there like 1, 5, 6, links to Auction Guild, etc.

Did I miss something?http://www.proimpulse.com/ebay-store-design/ 17:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I understand now about References and Wikipedia:External Links. I wanted to link to a page on my site that is directly related to eBay Stores and the design of them (eBay Radio even interviewed us on this).

Thanks again! http://www.proimpulse.com/ebay-store-design/ 20:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Acquisitions & investments

I'd like to confirm that e-Bay didn't acquire MercadoLibre, they just bought 19% of the stock and signed a deal that endend a couple of years ago.

Under Acquisitions & investments, there needs to be some sort of edit to the statement "ebay aqcuired kruse auctions."

There needs to be grammar check, and information on when the aquisition occured. -(Theemojesus 20:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC))

Ebay did not acquire Mercadolibre.com, just a small percentage of it. This should be corrected.

MercadoLibre.com was not aquired totally, only a 19% of the stock. Look for the mercadolibre article

Frequency of fraud

During I think it was about 2003, a new MMORPG, Eve-Online, started.

I spent about six months playing, during which time I learned how to make a lot of in-game currency, which I was then selling on ebay.

A small number of other people were also engaged in this activity, and we got an idea of who was who through the ebay listings.

We found that fraudenlent buyers were a *major* problem. Buyers would pay with stolen credit cards and it would only be later that the payment would be recognized as fraudent. With Paypal in particular this was a major problem, since Paypal then billed the seller for the fraudent payment and because Paypal exlude virtual goods from their insurance programme. With other forms of payment (Western Union on-line money transfers, for example) this wasn't a problem because WU would honour the payment once it was made.

As a result, I began to track *all* the sales of ISK (the in-game currency) for a period of about two months.

It turned out to be very easy to spot a fraudent buyer. They would bid over the going rate and they would often bid on many auctions concurrently. This was of course because they weren't spending their own money and because they wanted to get as much ISK as possible before the card was detected as invalid.

There was only *one* case of a more sophisticated fraud, who built up a +5 reputation before going on a fraud spree. He did well, because ebay at that time only showed the current rating, which for him of course was only going down by -1 each time someone gave a negative feedback that he'd defrauded them. (From that episode, I learned to always check the full user history).

What I found was that about *HALF* of all bidders were fraudulent.

I emailed one seller who lost the equivelent of 3000 dollars of in-game currency.

I think this information is quite interesting and I wish/intend to add it to the Ebay page.

Any comments/suggestions?

Conflict of interest?

I note an unusual amount of edits by Jpgordon wiki admin and ex ebay employee . I wonder if this is the best person, a self stated former employee & ebay programmer, to be chronically editing and monitoring the page, and by comments, apparently this is a pet project. STeve65.8.240.227 00:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• Fair question, certainly. I've tried to tread pretty carefully. I wouldn't mind hearing from other editors regarding this. Have I been crossing the boundries of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest? (Actually, I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up earlier.) --jpgordon 03:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Charity Auctions

I threw in one, it would be cool to see other people add other ones that they know of. They run around 5 or 10 a week and have an entire department dedicated to it.

Validity of the "unusual items" page?

Isn't this highly subjective? Only an external link is required? This section seems out of place in Wikipedia and doesn't contribute to the article nor does it even list some of the more peculiar items that have sold on ebay.

• Well, yeah. It's smaller than it used to be...none might well be better. --jpgordon 07:31, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I once saw someone trying to sell a link to a website. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the link was stated in the product description. Even better, there were bids on it.69.251.157.48 12&#
