For new sellers on eBay

For new sellers on eBay, you have five EASY short-term goals to concentrate on:

Get experience through selling some items from around your house. It's key to get a few wins under your belt.

Obtain 10 positive feedbacks to get a gold star. People will start to trust you and bid more. Strive to keep your feedback slate clean; it will play an important role in your future.

Take those shades off! During the first 30 days after registering on eBay you'll have glasses on. This means you're new, or "shady". People will be reluctant to bid.

And lastly... be registered for 2 months, simple enough. Once you have +10 feedback and have 2 months experience, people will trust you a lot more, and your good reputation will help you to make money selling on eBay.

And lastly, find your niche. You have some time to think this one over. It's important to make certain it's the direction you want to go in advance... so much of your success will depend on the customer base you build over time.

You can easily make $1000 or more your first month just by selling odd goods from around your house. That will also help to get your first 10 positive feedbacks.
