-Do research first, using completed auctions as a guide. That way you won’t waste time and money listing something that you won’t get enough money for. Use the most successful auctions as a guide on how to list your stuff.
-Host your own pictures.
-Take high quality pics. I always crop, lighten, etc on photoshop to correct them. I’ve noticed this makes a HUGE difference in selling prices vs something shot with a crappy camera phone in the dark.
-Clean the stuff up good. Again, huge difference depending on the item.
-A lot of buyers don’t search by category, so make sure to use the right keywords. Use up all of the space they allow you on the title. Also, say you are selling a trim piece from a Mustang. I will always include “GT” or “Cobra” in the title if it is correct for those cars as well. People will pay more for parts for those cars, as opposed to a less desirable Mustang.
-Include a thorough description. People want to know details. List the positives and the negatives. Condition, application, etc.
-Include years in your title, for instance write '82-92. You can search by year on Ebay motors.
There is surprisingly a lot of money in F-body stuff if thats what you’re selling. People will pay stupid money for stuff many most people wouldn’t even think to sell. And some stuff fetches a lot less than you think it should go for. Good luck!

I sell all my shit a a buy it now for 1 cent, and then the shipping is what I want for the item + shipping, this way ebay dosent get shit. I have been doing it for awhile noe and they havent said anything to me yet. I know they are trying to crack down on this but I really could care less.

I’ve started messing with that because of Ebay’s fees. $9.99, $35 shipping for something that costs $8 to ship! Because the part is worth $35. I also pad the shipping costs a little to make up for Paypal. And I sell stuff off of Ebay if I get a good offer. If I have 2 of something and someone wants to buy the one listed at a set price, I offer them the second one for what it’s worth. That way I don’t even have to list it. I’ve never had a problem yet.
