eBay consignment selling has always played a huge part of my eBay business.

Way back in 1997, when I was a new eBay seller, I placed an eBay consignment ad in the newspaper and my first customer was a young lady who wanted to sell her Beanie Babies so she could buy a car.

I was able to get top dollar for her items! Once I discovered how very rewarding it felt to help this lovely girl buy a car and at the same time make a profit, too – I was hooked!

I made being an eBay consignment seller a big part of my business model.

Almost 28 years later, my eBay consignment business is still going strong! I’ve sold everything you can think of! From a farm tractor motor to diamonds to American Girl dolls, the sky’s the limit.

No item is too big or too small for consignment.

The best item I sold was a chopper motorcycle for $12,100.00 – on consignment!

5 Reasons You Need an eBay Consignment Seller

Even if you have an active eBay account and are fairly familiar with selling on eBay, I’ll most likely be able to command a higher selling price for your items by selling them for you.

Here’s why…

Feedback Score:

The amount of feedback an eBay seller often determines the selling price. Those who have more feedback attract more buyers and those buyers are willing to pay what the item is truly worth.

My feedback score is almost 16K. Buyers know they can place 100% trust in me.

Product Images:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. On eBay, a the right picture might be worth $1,000.00!

Inexperienced eBay sellers greatly underestimate how pictures help sales. Beginners generally do not take and post enough images of their items. Also, their pictures are usually not good enough quality to show the ‘awesomeness’ of the item.

I have a photography “studio” set up in my home. Using different colored backgrounds, lighting, etc. all makes a difference in the attractiveness of an image. This attention to detail can make or break a selling price.

Product Descriptions:

Words matter. To get item listings found, an eBay seller must know where to put what words so the search engines find their products first. This takes research and the wisdom of experience.

If you’re the casual eBay seller, chances are, items I list will show up to potential buyers over your listing, every time. This is because I know how to research the exact words people are using when they look for items they want to buy.

Sales Copy:

Great pictures and keywords matter but it’s the sales copy that closes a deal. Using just the right words which motivate buyers is a skill that takes time to perfect. It took me a while to get this down pat but over the last 18 years I’ve gotten pretty good at it. 😉

Customer Service:

It’s not enough just to list an item. To keep your feedback rating high, you’ve got to respond to customer questions in a timely manner. And, how you respond is equally important.

eBay has been my full-time job for almost 2 decades. I respond to sales inquiries almost immediately. And, over the years, I’ve learned how to work with even the most difficult customer so that both parties get what they want and leave the bargaining table happy!
