This article includes an overview of best practices to increase your eBay.com sales!

Make sure to use all 80 characters (or as near to 80 as you can) in your title! Your title will have a strong influence on how relevant your listing is to searches on eBay. If your regular title is more than 80 characters, make sure to set up an eBay Title Override on Zentail.

You can use custom description templates to make your eBay listings look even more awesome.

It's important to pay attention to your seller metrics and work towards a goal. eBay gives priority to sellers that they know allow for a positive customer experience. Review detailed criteria on eBay's article on seller levels and performance standards.

Becoming a Top Rated Seller indicates that you consistently deliver outstanding customer service, and also makes you eligible to receive a prominent Top Rated Plus seal on qualifying listings.

If you've met these performance standards requirements on eBay.com, eBay will automatically upgrade you to the Top Rated Seller status at your next evaluation (occurs monthly).

Monitor and curate reviews.  Give feedback to buyers to promote buyer's reviewing your listings or your performance as a seller. You can use tools directly on your eBay account or set up some automated settings on your eBay integrations page on Zentail.

If you already have popular products in your catalog, make sure these items are also available for purchase on eBay!  It's a great way to start generating sales on goods that you know people already want to buy.

Consider purchasing one of your products from a shopper's perspective. Is your pricing competitive? How easy is it to find a less expensive offer for the same product (including shipping time) on the web? Consider landing price (item price + shipping) when making this decision. It's useful to set up promotional pricing just for eBay to help grow this channel.

Two key things to consider when setting up your shipping policies:

Outside of shipping cost, consider your fulfillment time.  Can you meet the fulfillment and shipping criteria to become a top rated seller? If your current fulfillment methods can't meet those metrics, what can you do to improve your process here?
