Consider that many people that shop online feel they are deficient in computer skills. As a result, even some of the simplest changes to search results will be entirely missed by potential customers. As a result, the best thing you can do to gain more sales is take advantage of the default search parameter.
When it comes to Ebay the default search parameter happens to be "time ending soonest". Therefore, this type of search will always be seen before any other search type. You can use this information to figure out when you want your items to end, so that they gain the maximum amount of attention. It is important to set your sales ending time when people are most likely to be on Ebay, as well as other parts of the internet.
For the most part, you probably realize that work hours are not the best time to end an Ebay sale. On the other hand, if you are targeting a primarily American market, you may want to make sure your sales end when people are home from work and browsing around. Fridays and weekends are also good times, as your potential customers are likely to have money available from their paychecks.
Aside from the time of day, you may also want to give some thought to the calendar month. Among other things, knowing when disability, social security, and welfare checks come out will help you find people that are looking for your products. Because you can only list for a maximum of 7 day, you will need to wait for an optimal time to start your auction as well as end it. With a little bit of practice, something as simple as timing can easily boost your sales.

Ebay Auction Secrets - The Importance of Adding Pictures To Ebay Listings
If you've ever browsed on Ebay, you will understand almost immediately why photos are so important. Chances are if you are looking for an item, you have some idea of how it should appear. Unlike written descriptions, you process images immediately. As a result, if an image is missing, customers will have to rely on the title, or go and read the text.
Unfortunately, when presented with over 100 items to select from, potential customers will simply keep scrolling until they find a picture that matches their expectations. Therefore, even if your product is cheaper or better, your potential customer will not even bother to look. This is especially important if you are selling highly visual items like clothing, jewelry, or toys.
Many people browse on Ebay without intending to purchase at that given moment. That said, impulse buying happens on Ebay just as easily as it can in any other market setting. The more attractive and clear your pictures are, the more likely it will be to gain useful attention. You should also be careful to use pictures that will look as good in larger version as they do in the listing thumb nails. While creating different size photos may take a little bit of extra time, it is well worth it.
Clear, well defined pictures, are essential to capturing the attention of Ebay customers. It is always important to remember that the job of the thumbnail picture is to get people to click on the description and read more about the product. You have only to think about your own Ebay browsing behavior to realize what a lack of images will do to your sales.
