Ebay Description Writing Tips.
Once you've drawn the buyers in with your title, the next thing
to do is to tell them all about your item with the description.
But just what should you write in your description?
At its heart, your item description is an ad. Without making it
too obvious, you should be writing sales copy. You're trying to
get buyers excited about your products, and that's usually hard
- but on eBay, if you have the right thing to sell and give
enough details, the buyers almost excite themselves.
Technical Details.
Include every technical detail you know, including the item's
manufacturer, its condition, how big it is, where and when it
was made, its history, and anything else special about it. Don't
be too boring, though: the best descriptions are written in
friendly, conversational language, and show a real knowledge of
the item. Whatever you do, make sure you tell the truth!
Remember that most of the people who'll be buying your item will
be just as knowledgeable about it as you are, if not more - this
is their hobby, and they're experts. Don't feel like you need to
explain the basics of the item: just go into as much technical
detail as you can. As a rule, don't write anything in the
description if you don't know what it means, as the chances are
someone will, and if you've got it slightly wrong then you'll
look like you don't know what you're talking about.
Interesting Details.
You might find that you enjoy writing a few things about how you
got the item, why you're selling it, and who you think might
like it. This isn't strictly
necessary, but it gives your
auctions some character and a personal touch, and can make
people more likely to trust you. People might wonder what you're
doing selling 500 CDs all at once, and if you tell them the
reason, then they'll feel reassured that nothing dodgy is going
on. If you're selling them because you're having a baby and you
need the space, just say so.
Write as Much as You Can.
Leave nothing out of your description, even if that seems to you
like it makes it cumbersomely long. There is no way you can be
too thorough: someone, somewhere will appreciate that you took
the time to write the extra information.
Don't assume that anyone who wants extra information will email
you to ask a question: many buyers are shy and won't do it.
Think of questions that buyers might have and add the answers to
your description, as people generally tend to ask the same
questions over and over again.
Each time a buyer does email you with a question, you should
both answer their question and update your description so that
it will include the answer next time. If people ask questions
that are answered in the description, try putting these parts of
the auction on a line alone, or in bold, to make them easier to
notice.
In the next email, we'll focus on increasing the number of
buyers who respond to your auctions.
