1. Listing Items
It's really fun to buy items at the stores or online but don't forget to list them.
Focus on listing every day and adjusting your listings.
The algorithm appreciates active accounts and you will see a difference.

2. Feedback
Feedback is what drives your profiles success.
A lot of online business is about trust and reputation and feedback is the number one thing that illustrates this on the site.
Ask for feedback, give feedback, get feedback.

3. Pictures
Pictures do the selling. Period.
A good picture will go a long way.
Just as with anything, the listing that catches someones eye is the one they are going to purchase from.
Do the work and make sure you have great pictures.

4. How to list
1. Search what you think your buyer would search for when buying your item.
2. Find the first unsponsored post.
3. Click into the listing and "sell similar item" against that listing.
You want your listing on the 1st page.

5. Promotion
Once you can promote, do it.
Promoting on every listing is helpful for your listing to gain traction.
The more views and watchers it gets, the better it is for the algorithm.

6. Shipping time
This can be tough, but necessary.
Turn on same day or 1 day handling time.
Customers appreciate quick shipping as we live in a society of instant gratification.
Just as you do, people get excited to receive their item.

8. Boosting Feedback
Just starting out and have no feedback? This is easy to solve.
Buy some things on eBay. Most of the time you purchase something, you will receive instant feedback from a seller.
Nice way to get yourself started.

9. Out of stock option
Use this. It is a must.
This allows your listing to stay active behind the scenes when you run out of product.
You won't lose your views or watchers when using this method.

10. Check completed items
Ever want to know how much people are willing to pay for something?
Check what your item has sold for and how recently it has sold as well.
This gives you a good picture of your profit and sales volume.

These tips and more have led me to have a very successful past 4 months flipping and reselling on eBay.
Hopefully these can get you started on your flipping journey and help you along the way.
