So often people that want to learn to sell on ebay overlook the importance of using keywords in your items title and description.
How do most people find the items they are looking for on ebay? Simple answer, they use the sites search engine. They simply type in a keyword and a list of items pop up matching that keyword.
To make your item pop up consider what to put in your title carefully and then make sure a keyword you think people may type is present in the title.
For example if someone that was looking to buy a seven seater car but didn't know much about cars so didn't know the names of them they would type something like "7 seater car" in the search engine. Now you may be selling a seven seater car but unless it is in your title it won't show.
Here's another example. Say a mother wants to buy her kid a video games console but she's forgot what it's called then the chances are she will opt for "video console","games machine" or similar and hope the name rings a bell. If all you have in your title is xbox 360 then even if it's what she's looking for your item isn't going to appear.
These are very basic examples but you should now get the picture. If you want to learn to sell on ebay then you need to learn to put keywords in your titles and if you can in the description too.
One final word on the use of keywords is to make sure that you double check your title for spellings as just one wrong letter could cost you a sale ( unless it is a word people often spell incorrectly in which case it can be a blessing ). Hopefully you will use this advice and learn to sell on ebay using keywords.

Make Easy Money On Ebay - The Focused Method
To begin with the sell everything approach ( see here) isn't that bad. It can help you define your researching skills whilst also developing your selling skills and making you a profit. However if you really want to make easy money on ebay then you will eventually gain a great deal from moving on to the focused method.
This method of selling on ebay is where all the top sellers make their money. They focus on one particular type of product and then focus solely on these types of product. Some will even go a step further and specialize in one area of a certain product. A quick example of this is instead of someone selling video games they will sell video games for only one console like the xbox 360.
When doing research for what you should focus on selling to make easy money on ebay you will find that it is smaller items which will be of higher profit and therefore best to promote. Heavy and more costly items costs more to deliver and more effort to sell.
The best products tend to be lighter items such as cd's, dvd's, information, software and the best of all ebooks ( no delivery costs, extremely high profits ), which if you can go on to produce your own is where you will really make a killing. There is a great ebook on this topic that give step by step instructions on how to sell ebooks on ebay, take a look for yourself here.
Anyone can make easy money on ebay but if you really want to make a killing and become a huge success then the focused method is where you can really make this happen for you.
