Tough Question Tuesday: Does It Make A Difference?

I had a blast at the Hot Seminar Series last week!  It’s taken me just about one week to come down off of cloud 9.  :-)

I really enjoy talking to others about how to improve their eBay business.   A couple questions came trickling in after the show was over.  I thought it would be nice to answer them here.

Q:  I listened to you on a conference call tonight. Great call. I have a question. I get your emails, 2 or 3 a day on clothes mostly, but I don’t know which to buy and if size makes a difference. I don’t have the funds to buy one of every size or something from every site you send out. I only want to resell them. Do you list them before you get them or after?
 
Thanks again,
Bill B.

A:  Usually, size will not make a difference.  It’s personal preference.  Some eBay sellers specialize in small sizes, some eBay sellers only buy bigger sizes.  Buy what is best for your budget.  Buying a couple sizes – like a size 3 and 4, for example.  That way you can cross promote them.  One example would be to state in your description that you have sibling sizes available – then link to the other item.
 
I list after I get the item.  That way I can take pictures of close up details, and if measurements are needed, I can put them in my description while the item is in front of me.
 
Hope that helps!
