Auction Selling Revealed Blog

To decide on a starting bid price is one of the most difficult tasks an eBay Trading Assistant has to decide. Imagine how you expect to get $1500 from a starting price of $0.00. Powersellers of course have some tricks on how to they are able to meet the expected price. It is more difficult for an Ebay Trading Assistant to sell items of other people than selling his own. It is always good to start at low price. Most auctions that start a low bid price ended high as you would expect. The trick is, never start an item at more than one-third of the expected ending price, and lower if possible. But when you are selling obscure items of high value, with very small following, start the item at a price you will be comfortable taking if only one person bids.
