How To Sell Baseball Cards On eBay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Start With A Good List Of Items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step in selling baseball cards on eBay is making sure your inventory list is complete. You can do this by going through old boxes of cards or looking at online auctions. Make sure you have every card you own listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to spend time doing this, there are several apps available that will scan your collection and create an inventory list for you.  This could potentially save you lots of very valuable time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Choose Your Price Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a good inventory list, you need to decide how much you want to charge for each item. This will help determine what price range you should be targeting when listing your items.  Take a look at how much your particular cards are going for from other sellers on eBay or elsewhere on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use sites like eBay\u2019s Value Calculator to figure out what your average selling prices are. Or, you can just look up the current market value of similar cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have A Good Inventory List<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose The Right Shipping Method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose a shipping method based on where you live.  Make sure to read the different options very carefully before selecting the right one.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure Your Listings Are Correct<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check your listings often to make sure there aren\u2019t any mistakes.  If you see any errors or typos, edit your listings as soon as possible to make sure your online shop looks professional at all times.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer Multiple Options When Shipping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give Feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give feedback to other sellers when you buy or sell something. It shows them that you care about their success.  eBay is all  about feedback, both from buyers and sellers.  Give good feedback to your sellers, and they will return the favor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Track Of Your Sales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Track your sales history to see which items sold well. This will help you decide which products to focus on next time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Adding Special Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Special features like autographs and other memorabilia can boost your sales.  If you have the opportunity to branch out into selling other items, this could be very beneficial.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow Up With Customers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Send emails to buyers who haven\u2019t responded to your messages. Let them know you still plan to ship their order soon.  Be friendly and courteous to your customers and they\u2019re more likely to return and buy again from you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sell Baseball Card Collectors Items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Collectors tend to spend more than casual collectors. They also tend to be willing to pay more for rare items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
