Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Internet Connection
- Ebay Account
-
Step 1
Go to www.ebay.com (LINK BELOW)
-
Step 2
Type your item into the search box and then press enter.
-
Step 3
Click the different categories of your item so that you narrow it down to your specific item. (For example: if you wanted to sell a New Xbox 360 System you would click the categories video games, then system, then new.)
-
Step 4
Once you have narrowed it down so you only have the exact item you are selling on the screen you will go to the left side of the webpage under "Refine your search" and scroll down to "More options" and then click "Buying Options" and then check the box that says "Completed Listings" and then click "Go"
-
Step 5
It will now prompt you to login, which you must now do to get to the next page.
-
Step 6
After you login, the next page will be a list of all completed listings. The items with the price in red didn't sell and the items with the price green sold.
-
Step 7
Now it is time to choose a price. You should set your price a little lower than what you think the average price is in green. This will encourage more bids.

on 9/23/2009 I agree with "ebaysolutions" it does sound risky to start out so low, but it does seem to get a "bidding war" going. Great article!

on 7/10/2009 setting your initial bid price to 0.01 sound ludicrous and risky, but it actually attracts more bidders and will come closer to "average" market price as opposed to setting a less than average price. There is also a pricing guide you can use for specific categories at the great eBay solution
