To sell on eBay, follow these key steps:
- Create an eBay seller account by signing up with your email. Choose individual for occasional selling or business for regular sales or brand building.
- Prepare your product details including titles, descriptions, high-quality images, price, and category.
- Create your product listing on eBay with clear titles optimized with keywords, detailed descriptions, and relevant shipping and return policies.
- Decide on pricing strategy—auction for rare items or fixed price for common products. Research similar listings to price competitively.
- Manage shipping by deciding if you will self-fulfill or use third-party logistics, and set clear shipping costs and delivery estimates.
- Handle payments and tax information via eBay's platform, linking your bank account for payouts.
- Optionally, connect your eBay store with Shopify for easier inventory sync and multichannel sales management.
These steps cover from account setup to listing optimization and shipping management, designed for maximizing sales and reaching a broad customer base on eBay.
