Warning: The 7 Things You Should Never Do with Your eBay Business!

It's surprisingly easy to destroy your eBay business and give yourself a bad name by being careless. Sure, you can start again from jump, but do you actually want to? If you want your eBay business to fall to pieces, here are the most effective ways to go about doing so.

1) Outright lie about the specifics of an item: Something is broken or defective, but you choose to overlook this small fact. Your customers will absolutely hate you for this!

2) Post when you feel it is convenient for you: Leaving your customers hanging around, misinformed, and pondering when their item is going to arrive. Awesome way to abandon your clients!

3) Don't bother with email: Customers are just wasting your time right? How do they fit in, to the equation of you making money, anyway?

4) Sell garbage: It's just eBay. Just pass off that farmer's market knick-knack for a 200% profit. Let the next person worry about its usefulness or value.

5) Make unattractive listings: Whatever flashing, hypnotic, gaudy, animated feature you can fit on the screen, by all means, go for it! Don't forget to use ALL CAPITALS, huge and red, and of course unnecessary fonts. Whatever you can muster to make potential customers forget why they came to your page in the first place, do it!

6) Forget about photos: Waaaay too much trouble. Why on earth is it so important for the buyers to see what they're bidding on?

7) Make your item descriptions as short as possible: Extensive use of abbreviations is the key here. How is your eBay business supposed to become automated, if you spend all your time writing?

Combining any or all of these tactics into your eBay business will bring disastrous results. For those of you that enjoy new beginnings, these methods will necessitate plenty of of fresh starts and new eBay accounts in the future.
