How to Sell Effectively on sKoolBoY?

In order to be a good seller, make sure to be specific about item details and price the auction appropriately. An item that has an attractive starting bid plus photos of the item (personal photos of item are better-taken with your own digital camera) will have more visibility than other auctions and will likely get more bids. Second, make sure to create a title that reflects the item accurately such as new, used, and old. Also, you can make the auction more enticing if you include free Shipping in the title and are not charging shipping. If you are a college student, post the item on Facebook by using the "post" feature on the site. This will increase the visibility of the item even more and will likely be seen by other members on the site who are interested in purchasing your book or other item. Although these fees are optional, you can decide to use the homepage feature or category feature to display your auction on the site homepage and this will dramatically increase the visibility of your auction and invite more bids. In addition, take advantage of promotions that are occurring on the site (currently: Summer Fling Promotion). These promotions are there to waive optional fees such as homepage feature or category feature so that you can increase the visibility of your item to a greater degree for free. Furthermore, create your own free store on the site where you can list items in both the store and the website. With this feature, your items will have double the visibility of the site and increase your profitability as a result. All users can also participate in the "refer-a-friend" promotion that is constantly occurring and this makes members eligible for cash/prizes. Most importantly, make sure you deal with buyers in a professional manner and sell the item as advertised and ship the item in a timely manner. This will assure that your reputation is always positive and 100%. Your reputation is extremely important because potential buyers want to make sure they are dealing with a legitimate seller and not someone who is going to take their money. If you follow all of the above advice, you will be a very successful seller on this site.
