Ebay allows you to create
a free "about me" page, where you can
even place a link to your own website.
People are curious, if they
see ME, they will visit your "about me"
page.
Click
here to know how to setup an "about
me" page in ebay in a step by step guide.
Inside this "about me"
page, you will need to have the following components:
1) Free offer
2) Sign up link to your newsletter
3) Link to your website
4) Previous feedback or praises from other buyers
or sellers
5) Link to your other selling items
6) List of items you are currently have for
sale
7) Link to reviews and guides written by you.
The first 6th component are
a mustm while the 7th component is not esstential.
Let me go through these components:
Free Offer
Giveaways can be anything,
you could give them a selling tip, a discount
you know of on another website, or maybe offer
a list of relevant websites. If you have no
idea what to give away then why not give them
this website and they will be thankful once
they read it.
Signup to my Newsletter
If you have an ebay shop, you
should put a link to ask them to sign up to
your shop newsletter. In this way, you will
be able to send them regular newsletter selling
your other items.
Alternatively, you could ask
them to sign up your auto-responder email acocunt.
Basically, an autoresponder is an automatic
email service.

Link to your website
Ok, I know that not everyone
has a website... so you do not need this one.
However, you could link to another website that
perhaps pays for referrals you make, simply
search on the internet for affiliate programs
or look on you favourite sites to see if they
pay for referring other people, you will be
surprised how many opportunities they are out
there.
I know one guy who did not
have a website. He sold used PSP games, so he
signed up to one of those get a free PSP consoles
websites and have this link in his "aboutme"
page and now he sells the free consoles for
a much bigger profit!
Previous Feedback or
Praise
People are reluctant to buy
from eBay. They want to know you are a trusted
seller, so having previous feedback will give
them the proof that you can be trusted and that
they are safe to buy from you. Thus, this is
a good inclusion.
Link to your other
items
On your about me page, you
can have 3 link boxes. Make sure one of them
is linked to your other items; which is for
obvious reasons.
List of your other
items for sales
Here you can have a list of
items you have for sale, it will list the item
number, start and end date, price of the item,
title and status.
Links to reviews and guides
written by you
If you have knowledge on any
particular topic, you should write an ebay review
or guide. Many ebayers read these guides and
thus, giving you more exposure.
