Every day we get people asking what sells on eBay and what can they do to help insure that their item sells. There are a few things to keep in mind when gathering stuff to have us list for you on eBay.

The most important thing to look for in an item is its condition. Is it brand new or does it have scratches, cracks, and dings? Is it fully functional or does it only work some of the time? These are important questions you need to answer. Items that are in great condition and are in perfect working condition are going to be more likely to sell and will sell for more money. eBay shoppers look for the condition of the item first and foremost. Just because they're looking for a good deal doesn't mean they want to buy an item that has something wrong with it. Also, dirt and dust is a big deal buster. Take the time to clean the items thoroughly while making sure not to damage the item. 

Secondly, to make your listing complete and to get more people interested in your item be sure to include all of the original packaging as well as any accessories that might come with it. This is especially important if the item is a collectable. In that instance it is also a good thing to have any types of certificates of authenticity with the item. People want to know that what you're selling is genuine and  including original packaging and COA's is a great way to show them that it is. 

Finally, determine if the item is fit to ship. While very large items can and do sell on eBay all the time, they are mostly limited to a local sales audience. If the item is under 150 pounds and can fit in a box it will have a much better chance of selling at a higher market price. 

Keep these tips in mind when gathering stuff to sell on eBay.  If you have questions about your item, or are unsure if it is worth listing, you can contact us and even have your item appraised online for free.
