5. Never just use one image, always use at least two. I tend to use one image for every one of the details (or faults) that I mention in the listing. This illustrates what you are actually trying to describe and helps to prevent the dreaded negative feedback of 'the item wasn't as described'.

In this world of technology, you have to wonder what would happen to the medical billing profession if suddenly all the power in the world went out and the computers stopped working. If you never thought of how catastrophic this would be, this little eye opening look at a hypothetical situation should get you thinking about having some backup plans for your medical billing business.The problems with not having a computer to do your medical billing in today's day and age are mind boggling. There are actually a multitude of headaches that you're going to have should
To sum it up in one sentence:
Pictures attract attention, help explain details and more importantly stimulates desire which leads to Auction Euphoria.
Auction Euphoria is that process whereby the desire to own an item is that great that all logic goes out the window and the buyer rebids to ensure that they win it, thus increasing the selling price.
This simple bit of knowledge has allowed me to push my final selling prices up on average between 10-30% and as such it amazes me that so many listings do not include one picture and just type out the details in one long line of text (usually all in capitals!). I am not complaining however because this fact alone has allowed my auctions to stand out and make the money.
I started off using eBays add additional photo service to include extra images in my listings which people could use as a reference point and I found out the following :
1. Always make sure that the image is clear and of the actual item for sale, otherwise what is the point of including it? You will find that poorly presented pictures suggest that the seller doesn't care and hence will devalue the potential selling price of the item which is of no use to anyone.
2. Never use a stock photograph of the item for sale, with the increase in fraudulant transactions (especially on the higher value items) this will serve to put the buyer off, again serving to devalue your final selling price. Taking a little extra time to get an actual photograpah shows yours buyers that you care and will endear them to you.
3. Where possible use a digital camera, these are very easily accessable nowadays and relatively cheap and they produce excellent images. A webcam can also be used but does give a grainier picture. Remember the cost of the digital camera can be offset by the gain in final selling prices.
4. Have good lighting on your images, a poorly lit image may as well not be there. Where possible I take mine outside into the garden, put it onto a chair with white paper behind it and take advantage of the natural light. Its a few minutes work that pays dividends in the end in cold hard cash!

I’ve asked countless CEOs and Presidents --- What exactly do you want your legacy to be?I have been impressed with how many have really put some thought into that question. However, I have been equally disappointed in how many CEOs, Presidents and owners have really never given it much thought. Speaking from my personal experience and my own deep seeded feelings regarding what I would like to be known for, recognized for and thought of as I go down that retirement pathway and even that final walk in my life, I have began keeping a journal.I believe this journa

Recruitment consists of knowing exactly what you are looking for, determining how to know when you’ve found it and making employment offers that get accepted.

Before you do anything rash – like quitting your job or starting to look for a new job – you need to get the facts.Before doing anything you might quickly regret, take some time to see how things work out and try to find out why you weren't chosen for the position.Is there a particular skill or experience that the successful candidate has t

When I tell people I sell my Antiques online they immediately jump to the conclusion that I sell at Ebay. Although selling on eBay has its benefits there are also additional ways to sell online. Consider the fixed price online Antique Mall. There are many benefits when selling on an online Antique mall.Important benefits are you sell at a fixed price, you benefit from the co-operative effort of many items within the mall site which brings repeat customers and more links into your shop from Google than you can possibly get on your own website. Important functions are

Using the above meant my auctions stood out and I was considered to be true to my word by my buyers so much so that I have multiple return buyers and the Auction Euphoria effect is evident on my auctions as there regularly go for higher prices than similar items listed on eBay.
As I developed my auctions I realised that using eBays additional picture service was COSTING ME a large proportion of my profit so I looked into other ways of getting my pictures on my listings. I also realised that the format of the listings was another major factor. I wanted to use the additional pictures to illustrate a detail or fault but it was no use having the picture at the bottom of the listing away from the description as per eBays standard approach.
So I did some research and learned that the answer to my problems was HTML to generate a template for my listings and allow me to pull my images into them without having to use eBays image service, sure it was still gonna cost me to host my own images but no where near what eBay was charging me. Using this has meant that my eBay Listing Fees have dropped by nearly 90%.
My buyers then started to ask me if they could use my templates and how they could include images on thier listings, advice which I always gave to them. I then decided to put this advice together on a few webpages so that they could use it as a reference and to upload some of the templates that I have used in the past so that anyone can use them for FREE.
I hope that these simple bits of advice help you to take advantage of Auction Euphoria, and really develop your profits from the amazing, and addictive, animal that is eBay auctions.
