2. Include an image of the item that you are selling. Buying online means that people can’t touch the products and have a feel of what you sell. Proving an image of the item will therefore help potential buyers to decide if they want to buy the product or not.
3. Use PayPal so that your customers can immediately pay for the products they want.
4. Communicate with your customers. The success of your Ebay business depends on good customer relationship skills. Answer any questions your customers have and be as helpful as you can.
5. If you are offering a refund policy for any of the products, it is important that you make that policy very precise; otherwise your customers may abuse that policy and return the goods they bought from you even if they are in good condition.
6. Encourage your customers to leave feedback on the service you provide as an Ebay seller. If you have a good feedback record on Ebay, many people will be confident to buy from you.
7. Be patient in developing your Ebay business.
8. Sell products that can be bought by anyone from any part of the word. If you target a global market, you increase your chances of making a sale.
9. Have a professional eBay auction site.  If you project the impression that you are a serious and professional Ebay seller, buyers will be keen to buy from you.
10. Think outside the square and differentiate yourself from other Ebay sellers. Be creative, use catchy phrases to describe your products, and think about any other ways that you can differentiate yourself from the rest of other Ebay sellers.

Have you found out everything you possibly could about your items? Try typing their names into a search engine - you might find out something you didn't know. If someone else is selling the same thing as you, then always try to provide more information about it than they do.

Do you monitor the competition? Always keep an eye on how much other items the same as or similar to yours are selling, and what prices they're being offered at. There's usually little point in starting a fixed price auction for $100 when someone else is selling the item for $90.

Have you got pictures of the items? It's worth taking the time to photograph your items, especially if you have a digital camera. If you get serious about eBay but don't have a camera, then you will probably want to invest in one at some point.

Are you emailing your sellers? It's worth sending a brief email when transactions go through: something like a simple "Thank you for buying my item, please let me know when you have sent the payment". Follow this up with "Thanks for your payment, I have posted your [item name] today". You will be surprised how many problems you will avoid just by communicating this way. 

Also, are you checking your emails? Remember that potential buyers can send you email about anything at any time, and not answering these emails will just make them go somewhere else instead of buying from you.

Do your item description pages have everything that buyers need to know? If you're planning to offer international delivery, then it's good to make a list of the charges to different counties and display it on each auction. If you have any special terms and conditions (for example, if you will give a refund on any item as long as it hasn't been opened), then you should make sure these are displayed too.

Have you been wrapping your items correctly? Your wrapping should be professional for the best impression: use appropriately sized envelopes or parcels, wrap the item in bubble wrap to stop it from getting damaged, and print labels instead of hand-writing addresses. Oh, and always use first class post - don't be cheap.

Do you follow up? It is worth sending out an email a few days after you post an item, saying "Is everything alright with your purchase? I hope you received it and it was as you expected." This might sound like giving the customer an opportunity to complain, but you should be trying to help your customers, not take their money and run.

Being a really good eBay seller, more than anything else, is about providing genuinely good and honest customer service. That's the only foolproof way to protect your reputation. Of course, you might be wondering by now whether it's really worth all the hassle to get a good reputation on eBay. Won't people buy from you anyway, and couldn't you just open a new account if it really comes down to that? Our next email will set you straight.
