Ebay auction keywords are "it"
Tired of selling your auctions for $.99?
The keywords you place in your ebay auctions can be the difference between just selling your item and getting the money that you wanted to get in the first place. How much money have you lost by getting less for your auctions? How much more are you willing to lose before you discover the right ebay auction keywords for your specific item?
Auction PI is the tool that can help you maximize your profits by showing you how certain keywords affected the outcome of auctions, both success rate and also the amount the auction sold for.
When we are discussing ebay auction keywords, what we are really talking about is the words you put in the title of your auction. Ebay uses that title to match up auctions to a potential buyers search in ebay when they type in keywords rather than do a category search. In Skip Mcgrath's The Complete Ebay Marketing System he states that 60% of the searches done in ebay are done by keyword searches while only 40% are done by browsing categories. This certainly seems to match with my experience in ebay.
How Auction PI works
Auction pi uses ebay licensed data to bring to you the results of what others have done with similar items. You know the old saying, "learn from others mistakes". Well this is exactly what you are doing as well as learning from others successes. With this kind of data and the ability to sort and filter by almost anything you would ever want to, there is no reason to settle for less money on your ebay listings. Here is a list of some of the things that you can learn with auction pi for your specific item. No generalization here.
- Best keywords to put in your ebay auctions
- Best category
- Best starting price
- Best day to end your auction
- Best time of day to end your auction
- Best duration
- Whether or not to use listing upgrades
- Best auction type
The list could go on but I think that you get the picture. This tool is phenominal in a lot of areas, but let me share a little more detail in just one area to help you understand the power of Auction PI.
Keywords
Keywords in your ebay auction title can make the difference in the amount of people that view your listing. Get it wrong and fewer people will see your listing making it vulnerable to sell at that low starting price that you have always been told is best to do. (FYI-a personal example of the right starting price - my lion king platinum dvd sold for $34 staring at $5.99 which was a lot better than the average of $14 that would have happened by starting at $.99- thanks Auction PI) Get the keywords right and you could more successfully sell you item and for more money.
The right keywords for your auctions could be as simple as knowing whether it is better to use "Disney", "Disneys", or "Walt Disney's". It could also help you discover some keywords that perhaps you had never thought of. Simple question. How much money are losing by not using Auction PI to get the most of your auctions?
