Selling on Ebay - Will Having An About Me Page Increase Sales

By Kimberly Aita

Are you selling on ebay? When you hope to learn how to sell on ebay so you can begin to make money from home there are several steps you can take to become a successful seller on ebay. Creating an about me page is one of the best steps you can take if you truly want to become successful at selling on ebay.

Maybe you are still fairly new to selling on ebay and you want to know what an about me page is and how it can help you to become a better seller. Firstly, an about me page is a place where you can introduce yourself and let buyers know who you are and what type of items you might want to sell on ebay.

A lot of buyers really do want to see your about me page because they want to know that you are someone they can trust if they decide to buy from you. The best way to build trust with your buyers, is by building an about me page. It doesn't need to be lengthy or difficult but it will let buyers have an idea of who you are and will help build their trust in you.

When you decide to create an about me page, you will find a section on ebay where you will be able to tell people who you are and you may possibly decide to let them understand why you became a seller on ebay. An instance of this may be that you have to stay home with your children or that you are hoping to build a successful business from home.

Letting buyers appreciate what your reasons are will help them to see you more as a person than just a page on a website. They will be more likely to buy if they see you as somebody who is a person just like themselves.

Do you hope to sell a specific item on your ebay site? You can also mention this when you are building your about me page. As I said before, it does not have to be complex but you should try to add any information that you know will build the trust of your customers. Thinking like a consumer when creating your about me page may help you to appreciate more about what people might want to see on your page.

Besides the personal information on your about me page, ebay will also automatically include a summary of the other items you might be selling on ebay. This can be a great benefit to you as it is just like getting free advertising for your products. When a possible customer visits your about me page, they will also see the links to these products and what the current bidding is for the products along with a short description about the items.

Put a different way, you increase your probability of making the sale because when a visitor goes to your about me page, they may possibly just see something listed there that will be of interest to them.

An additional great advantage to your about me page is that your customers will be able to see what your feedback rating is and this can also be a way to build trust since your potential customers will know that you are a reputable seller on ebay.

While an about me page is your choice and you can decide not to create one, you can doubtless see that the advantages of having one are many. Creating your about me page will not take a lot of time but could give you added exposure and better results in your efforts to sell on ebay.

That said, I urge you to take a few minutes to create your about me page whether you are just starting out or you are already selling on ebay.
