Remember crafty Rumpelstiltzkin? In a fairy tale, he was a wirey, grey little man that could spin straw into gold. A talewritten bythe brothers Grimm, this story teaches the importance of making promises that one can keep, and the perils of exaggerating the truth!As a seller on Ebay, it is important to be clever in how you present your product for sale, how you write up your auction and how good your photos are, because this spells success; but it is equally important to be HONEST. Are you glossing over the defects or age spots on some of your vintage resale items, just to move them? Are you honest in what you charge for shipping, or do you inflate shipping costs because "everyone does it"? Next time you create a listing, think of that wirey little grey man...Rumpelstiltskin is most commonly interpreted as a cautionary tale against bragging, and the gift of spinning straw into gold is seen here as a metaphor for the value of household skills. Your skillssellingonebay should be in the clever selection of items you offer, the great titles you use in your auctions to attract more search 'hits', the clear and mouthwatering photos you post... and the descriptions that make someone remember you, as a seller, and want to bid, bid, bid because they just cannot live without that item!!So be clever and find great items to sell on ebay. Be honest in your descriptions. Don't boast and overcharge for shipping. And you will build a clientelle who keeps you on their Favorite Sellers list, and they will come back for more!!! We all love repeat business, andRumpelstiltzkin's wayscan lead you to a chamber not full of straw, but full of gold. Happy selling!
