Ebay has been around since the 1990's. It was officially known as AuctionWeb before computer programmer and founder Pierre Omidyar changed the name to Ebay in September 1997. Ebay has come a long way since then and it is still one of the top number one ecommerce websites on the web today, with operations in around 32 countries.


As you know that there are hundreds of sellers on Ebay selling all kind of things which can make it very difficult for a new seller to make sells for their product or service. If you are a new seller, then this can be a big challenge to you but never panic because there are always ways around obstacles.


To be a successful seller on Ebay means that you have to be prepared to do your research. How do you think all these top sellers and companies make a lot of sells on there? Do you think it's luck?

No, it's about planning a strategy and preparing yourself. When you go into a ring to challenge your opponent, you don't go in there unprepared, you make sure you have trained yourself and studied your opponents moves, technique whatever needs to be studied. So when you are selling on Ebay you should approach it with this type of attitude and also study the successful sellers on there. You'll be surprised on how much useful tips you can get from them.


Now, I will talk about a software that can help a new comer compete with the pros. It is called eBay Nectic. eBay Nectic is a Ebay scraper software that many businesses and successful sellers use to attract buyers to their products. I will show you the steps on how to use the software successfully to achieve this.



Step 1 - Research


Research should be the first thing that you should do before selling any product on Ebay. It is important to find out what prices other sellers are selling the same product that you are selling for. The aim is to try and outsell your competitors by taking advantage of any loop holes that they may have, like for example the price of their products which plays a important part. So the first thing that you can do with eBay Nectic is to type in the keyword or type of product you want to sell and let the software scrape the results for you.


Once you get the results which should be a long list, you can now have the time to analyze the data. This is important because you want to know how much are these sellers selling your product for and which sellers are getting the most sells at which price.  


Ebay is a fast changing industry prices change all the time like oil & gas so you need to be on your Ps and Qs all the time when it comes to price change. You need to be scraping real time data on a regular basis. Something that was $10 last week may have gone down the following week and this can effect your future sells if you are not aware of it.  



Step 2 - Analyzing The Results


Once we have saved our results to a CSV file we can then put the results into ascending order from lowest to highest in price. We want to focus on the lowest price sellers to see how much sells they have generated at which target price.


If we type in each sellers name into the software, we'll be able to see what each seller is selling in their stock of goods. We can see what are their hottest items and check out their client's reviews. You need to study the reviews and see what the clients liked about the product or what they didn't like about it so that you can have a rough idea on what to do or not what to do to get negative feedback.


Visit each seller's page and analyze the data on it. Take note of the page's format and words written, especially keywords, because this is what helps the page get to the top of the search results.



Step 3 - Onpage SEO


Onpage SEO plays a important part when it comes to getting your page exposed to many buyers because when they search for your product, it will be more easier for them to find it. You have to make sure that you have your keywords in the title and body. Ebay Nectic can actually help you out in this department because the software can automatically generate a SEO description for your product in less than minute. This is one of the functions that I like about the software.


All you need to do is type in your product into the software and it will generate a random description for you. That's not all it does it will also show you the top searched keywords that buyers use to look for your product. These are the type of keywords that you really need to include on your page because it will help you to get noticed more easily. The software also gives you the top titles that you can copy or make your own titles similar to. 



Step 4 - Promotion


The last thing I will talk about is the promotion part of the software. This is what puts the icing on the cake and can be very effective if all the other stuff has been done to your page. The software will promote your eBay page to over 400 private networks on the internet. 


The benefit of this, is that your page will be displayed to many people. It will help bring more traffic and exposure to your page and this is what Ebay loves, pages that draw attention, popularity. Pages that draw attention means that there must be something good about them and the popularity will help it show up on the front page of the search results. This alone can draw in ex amount of leads to your business and also you will have the ability to out rank your competitors.



Conclusion


As you can see, by just using a few easy steps to your selling, it can really help you out to be a successful seller. As long as you have a plan and strategy, then selling on Ebay shouldn't be that hard at all .
