What to Sell on eBay
Electronics including smartphones, gaming consoles and accessories consistently sell fastest. Collectibles, vintage items and rare books attract dedicated buyers willing to pay premiums. Clothing and shoes in good condition from recognised brands sell reliably.
Pricing Your Items
Search eBay Sold Listings to see actual prices buyers have paid for identical items in the past 90 days. This real sales data is far more reliable than active listing prices which may never sell. Price 5-10% below the average sold price for faster sales.
Writing Listings That Sell
Include the brand, model, condition and key specifications in the title. Use all 80 title characters as eBay search algorithm indexes every word. Take photos in natural light against a neutral background showing all angles including any defects.
Reducing eBay Fees
eBay offers 250 free listings per month before insertion fees apply. Final value fees range from 10-15% depending on category. Consider eBay Store subscription for high-volume sellers as it significantly reduces final value fees.
