GET SELLINGNow that you know what’s selling and when to list, you’re ready toturn these trends into cash. It’s time to search your closets and get listing.Here are four tips to help you sell successfully.TIP #1: Price it right to sellYou could have unexpected treasures right inyour closet. Find out what it’s worth—quicklyand easily—right on eBay. See what similar items sold for and the pricesof items that didn’t sell this way; Search foritems like yours, then look on the left column forShow only and check Completed Listings.Learn more about how to use this infoin about 3 minutes with our new demo,Researching the Marketplace.You’ll also see which listing category, titlekeywords, photos and descriptions made asuccessful sale. Another option is to do a quick search inWhat’s it worth? (from Terapeak) found onthe Sell page. For the best results, be verydescriptive. For example, type in “infant girldress size XS,” as opposed to “baby clothes.”eBay Fashion Selling Guide8

GET SELLINGTIP #2: Shoot for picture perfect—tips for photographing your fashion itemsIn addition to item specifics, buyers depend on photos to evaluate an item’s size, fit, quality,condition, shape, and style, and should be able to make purchase decisions based on thephotos alone. A great photo can be enough to sell your item on the spot, but a poorlyphotographed item can send a potential buyer packing. Here are some photography tipsto put your items in the best light: Clean and wipe down your item, especially if it’s shiny. Clean items photograph better.Iron or steam your fabric items to eliminate wrinkles. Use good lighting. Whenever possible, shoot your items in daylight. Otherwise, desklamps that clip onto chairs or table tops are a good, inexpensive option. Learn morequick tips in this 2-minute video; How to take better photos—layout and lighting. Use a quality camera. You don’t need a professional-grade camera, but if you plan tosell often, consider investing in a 4 megapixel or higher digital camera. Check photos asyou go to make sure none are blurry. Model. Ask someone to photograph you, or find a friend who’ll model the items whileyou take the pictures. Think about backdrop. Avoid busy or cluttered backgrounds. Create a white, black, orgray backdrop using clean paper or fabric. Take big pictures and lots of them. 1,000 pixels or more will give your buyers a clearpicture of your item. Take a “hero shot,” (the main photo), as well as additional supportive photos. The moredetail you can show, the more confident your buyer will be. Take close-ups to showpattern and texture, or a distinguishing feature and, when appropriate, take photos ofthe front, back, and side of your item. Fill the frame. An item needs to be as prominent as possible within the frame to give asense of the whole item. If you didn’t get it quite right, you can crop the photo tightlyusing a photo editor.eBay Fashion Selling Guide9
