eBay Selling

This is the first post of eBay Selling, a blog dedicated to the latest news about eBay, seller’s tips and tricks and advice about getting better sales. I welcome comments and questions about individual sales problems or about eBay in general.

One of the things I’d like to cover in detail is the recent changes to the site and how that is affecting sellers. Some of the changes will not be implemented until May, but many are currently in effect. One of those is a restructuring of many of the categories. Some of the subcategories are being moved around, others are being consolidated with others and there are a few new ones as well.

This will force sellers to make changes in their store listings and relisted auction and fixed price listings. It may also affect the ability of customers to find the items they are used to searching for elsewhere. But, after a couple of weeks, it shouldn’t have much of an effect. Since most buyers search by keywords, the categories don’t matter as much as some of the other changes. The worst of those changes are certainly the extensive changes to the feedback system, but let’s save that for another post…
