Isn’t it frustrating, when your eBay listings just don’t seem to sell. Well I’m about to give you a little tip that may help you make the sales. Before you make your listing, do a little research into similar sales of the item you’re selling. On eBay there’s an advanced search function, which allows you to search not only for current listings, but more importantly, it allows you to search the completed listings as well. Why search the completed listings, you may ask. The answer is simple, it will show you whether the item sold or not, and if so, for what price.

All you need to do is click on the advanced search link, which is right next to the main search button. Next you’ll come to a page where you enter the details of the item you’re researching. Enter some keywords for the item in the first section. Then in the second section (Search including), you have Two check boxes. Click on the box for completed listings and then click the search button. You’ll then see the search results, which tells you if the items had any bids on them and if so, how many. It also displays a little Sold box, under the amount of bids, if the item sold.

If the search result displays hundreds of items that sold for different prices, then simply go back to the advanced search page and just below the completed listings check box there’s a section for Price. Enter some prices to narrow down your search. If you think your item is worth between £5 and £10, then enter those details and click search again. This will let you know if the item is selling for your desired price, or even more.

Until next time, Barry Wells
