1. Bidding skills

Fixed price > Starting price.

You can set the fixed price about 10% to 20% higher than the starting price. Because the fixed price in this range is very close to the starting price, once someone bids, the price is likely to be surpassed. Smart buyers don't want to take this risk and will immediately press "Buy Now".

2. Auction skills

1. Understand what kind of products are suitable for auction

What kind of products are suitable for auction? They are definitely not items that can be bought in daily supermarkets. Buyers are often more willing to spend time bidding on new and unique products.

2. Within your acceptable range, the starting price should be as low as possible

The lower the starting price, the more likely it is to attract more buyers' attention.

3. Find a good display location

The purpose of the auction is to find as many people as possible to bid on your products. So, what you need to do is to understand the principles of eBay product sorting, so that your products have popular keywords or popular categories, so that they appear at the top of the search list.

4. Quickly respond to bidders' questions

Quickly respond to bidders' questions and make corresponding modifications to your listings. This will make bidders feel more secure and more assured to bid at a higher price.

5. Don't set a reserve price

The reserve price is the killer of the auction function! Buyers generally take a detour when they see auctions with reserve prices. This is the truth summarized in practice.

6. Use some existing eBay listing tools

For example, use some large fonts, color fonts, and promote the products you are auctioning in eBay forums or eBay collectors to increase attention.

7. Investigate the most effective start and end time

Publish during the period when the item is searched or traded actively, and end the auction within the most effective number of days. You need to pay close attention to these two time points of other similar auction items on eBay.
