Auction 411

To truly understand the eBay bidding process from the point of view of a customer, we recommend that you login to your account and really take a look at how the auction process works.

I know that you might already have experience purchasing items from eBay, but do you really know what each step is? So, let’s take out our trusty pen and paper. Now go find an item that you can bid on, but don’t have to win — my favorite example is bidding $2 for a Red Ferrari since the worst thing that could happen is that you just won yourself a Ferrari for $2! Or if you already have an idea of what you want to sell on eBay, find a competitor and bid on their product. In any case, I want you to begin writing down each step you take. For example:

Step 1: Searched for “Ferrari” in Search Bar.
Step 2: Selected “Red Ferrari in Perfect Condition” Auction because I like how the tagline said it’s in perfect condition.
Step 3: Read the Description and History of the car. I’m going to make a bid because . . .

and so on . . . . The point is you understand what triggers people to click here or there. Keep the piece of paper so when we begin to set up your eBay Store, you’ll be able to reference key points in the selling process.
