hey guys I want to make a quick follow-up video to how to sell on eBay
for beginner so I was getting quite a few questions over on that one so I
figured I would address some of them and also create a quick step-by-step
tutorial of how to actually list an item on eBay and I'm just going to go ahead
and list something that I've been wanting to sell anyway and so we're
going to be listing today is these headphones let me go ahead and type them
in so these little guys these are going to be what we're selling and a little
trick you can do to get a ballpark for what you're going to be able to get for
them is type it in and click over to the advanced here and then we're going to
search for sold listings and then now we're actually going to see what prices
some of these things sold for so this one only went for 32 bucks but it was
broken this one for 91 bucks 129 somebody managed it sell for 200 which
is a good sign 149 173 128 and so on so I feel like I
would be lucky to get 200 and probably 150 is decent average still might be
kind of optimistic but at least I have a ballpark I do know that they are selling
some of them are selling at least and I have a ballpark of what I can get for
them so anyway and this is also a way that you can in honestly we can just
remove that and come back to the regular listings turn that off ...this is a way you
can get a feel for what you should charge for shipping though something a
lot other people are asking and so I just like to go find people these are
all from Japan and stuff I'd like to find stuff from the US you know and see
what people are charging in the US and in this case it's a pretty light item
I'm assuming this wouldn't be much more than 5 bucks to ship and so a lot of
these people are listing is free shipping so I will probably do the same
thing because if everybody else is listening free shipping I don't want to
be the only guy you know charged and shipping
that may be a deal breaker for some some people so anyway what we're going to do
is just go back here to the home page and I'm going to go here I'm already
logged in okay so we're going to go up here and click sell this process is
really pretty simple and especially when you have an item like this they make it
very very easy so I'm just going to follow the steps and go through the
process so first we're just going to type in what we're selling here and
music and ACK a H C 400 I believe that's right I'll get started and it's asking
us if this is the right category that looks good to me so we'll keep that and
then I'm also going to sell that's not it I get on here H it's a C 400 yeah so
I don't have I was on there but that's okay we can still continue to do it okay
we're going to say these are used we're going to add some photos and before we
add photos let me just show you how I laid it out and and I just use my camera
here and my phone and I just use my phone here and just took some pictures
with my phone and sent them to my computer and I'm just using that my
phone takes good enough pictures to get the job done so that's what we're going
to be doing today we're just going to go ahead and add these images and then all
these specifics the more specifics you can put the better chance you'll have of
you know showing up on somebody searching for those specific things so
we're going to call these realizing how little I know about headphones as I type
this in
okay and then right a little description I like to use
some of the keywords in there just to help continue to give it a better chance
of ranking in which flipping back up that's what we're going to do in the
title we're going to call these in-ear headphones anything do you think people
could be searching for you want to have that in there anyway if there is any
damage to the item you definitely want to mention that and you also want to
take a picture of it and point it out because it just will not be good if you
have a bunch of angry people coming at you because you weren't clear in your
description of what was actually going on okay and then we're going to list it
we have a couple options here you can list as a fixed price or as an auction
so it's pretty self-explanatory normally I do an aux or an auction but on this
one I think I'm going to try a fixed price and I don't know I think I'm going
to try like 130 bucks just to see actually maybe we will do an auction
with 130 as the the starting price and then we'll do a buy it now this is how
somebody can basically get away from the auction and just buy it immediately as
the name suggests and we're going to do like let's just say 149 so if we can get
it at 149 I'd be pretty excited about that will do seven-day listing duration
I'm going to schedule it because you want to schedule at a time when you know
people are going to be able to purchase it so you don't want your auction to end
in the middle of the night or ideally when people aren't at work you want it
to be sometime when they're at home or at least the majority of your audience
is at home so I'm going to try to in this about 8 p.m. or that's specific so
about 6 p.m. Pacific which is 9:00 Eastern and so in all the
US anyway that gives us about 6 to 9 p.m. so most people should be home so
yeah so that's the start time which 7 days from then is when it ends ok and
then it does talk about shipping down here gives the idea of what the pricing
would be if you went through a postal service but I'm going to do free
shipping let's see they have an option to do international shipping in which I
didn't even know they did this this is really cool so you don't have to ship it
internationally yourself looks like they would take care of it for you and
there's that there's the rest of it handling time and then all you do is
just go ahead and press list it down here and you're good to go
ok and then now we are officially listed it's going to start tonight at 6 o'clock
and that is a basic simple process a step by step of going through and
listing your headphones or anything else you want to sell on eBay any questions
hit me up in the comment section and we'll chat all right take care
