TAKE GOOD PHOTOS -- It's hard to buy something that you can't really see. Make sure you take photos from all angles. If the shoe is used you may even want to take a photo of the sole to show how scuffed it is.
-
2
GIVE MEASUREMENTS -- Don't just give a size. People can't try on the shoe so they need measurements. Place a tape measure inside the shoe and state the actual length of the inside of the shoe from the toe to the heel. Also give the width at the widest part of the shoe and the height of the heel.

STATE THE BRAND -- If the shoe has a brand by all means say so! But you don't have to sell only brand name shoes. There is a market out there for all types of shoes.

GIVE BUYERS IDEAS -- Don't think anyone wants grandma's chunky heels from 1950? Think again! Old shoes are great for Halloween costumes. So say that in your auction!

5
DON'T SHOW FEET -- Take photos of only the shoes. And if you are selling sandals, never put them on a bare foot. eBay has been known to take down auctions with bare feet because they assume you are catering to those with a foot fetish.
