What eBay Listings Should Have
One thing that most listings need but don’t contain are dimensions. Many auctions that end unsuccessfully do so because there are no dimensions listed. You need dimensions for any type of clothing, linens, wall hangings, posters, furniture, figurines and about 95 percent of everything else.
Without dimensions, be prepared to lose some listing time in answering questions. I can’t count how many times I had to go and get an object that was already listed, bring it to the computer, measure it and answer questions. This is much easier and less time consuming if you enter the dimensions at the same time you’re listing the item.
Some buyers will ask about the dimensions before they buy, but many will not. Many will pass on the auction because they don’t want to have to wait for an answer. And, if they have discovered the auction when it is about to end, they know there will not be enough time to wait for a response. Those are customers, and dollars, lost.
