Some tips for becoming a good seller on Ebay :-

1.Treat your customers like a new born baby,you must always agree with their views.Also don’t lose your temper easily, you temper will destroy your business and reputition on Ebay.

2.Always be ready to process refund for the item you sold.There is a possibility that the item may get stolen or damaged in the transit.Ebay is not responsible for any kind of damage done by your Logistic Services.

3.Item sold must be shipped within 48 hours and shipping details must be provided to the buyers.When buyers see the shipping details they get excited and start thinking about the product in their dreams.

4.Don’t argue with your buyers if they want to return the product.Always make them feel that their money is safe and also your policy should be to provide money back or replacement in case of a return for atleast 7 days after the product is delivered.

Ebay Powership :-
Ebay powership, as everyone here must know is the Logistic Service provided by ebay in which ebay orders are shipped through 1st Class Courier Companies such as Fedex ( My Favourite ) , Bluedart and Aramex.
This service is only provided to the sellers with more than 97 % positive feedback with min. feedback of 50.To enroll in this program a user must sign up an agreement with ebay.Ebay provides his packing material at Rs.2 per packing ( Small , Medium or Large ).The powership charges within the city are Rs.29 ( including taxes ) and for National Delivery the rate is Rs.45 ( including taxes ) for 500gms parcel.

Pros :-
1.Most of the parcels are delivered in 2-3 days and ebay live tracks the delivery of the parcel, so no need of buyer to confirm receipt,means fast re-emittance.
2.Parcels are handled very carefully as they are sent through Top Class Courier Companies.
3.Even if any damage takes place in transit, full amount of the damaged product is paid by Courier Company.
4.Home Pickup Service is awesome.Just mark the item ready to ship and make a call to your LSP.They can even pick your parcels in the midnight, if you order them too.
5.Fast shipping discount is also provided by ebay if item is shipped in 48 hours of transaction.
6.Delivery time extends from 5 days to unlimited.

Cons:-
1.Many times a parcel is weighted wrongly and it takes much time to get your money back.
2.Many parcels travel in volumetric weight instead of original weight,means you have to pay much more.
3.If even the buyer lives in your neighbourhood you have to ship the item through powership.
4.You cannot sell recharges as if recharges move to powership category it will be necessary to ship them.
5.Many categories are not supported under powership.For them you have to ship through your own tie-ups.
