eBay sellers: Having an " About Me" page is really important.

eBay is definitly the first place most internet users turn to when they are looking for ways to make money in the comfort of their own homes. Yet, to be a successful seller on eBay there are some steps that you need to adopt to ensure that you become one. Having an "About Me" page is surely one important step to start with.

A relatively new eBay seller might not know what an " About Me " page is. An "About Me" page is a webpage that lets you state whatever you wish about yourself, the products that you are displaying for sale or the services that you provide. Since it is really easy to be scammed on eBay, several eBay customers do not make any deals except with an eBay buyer that they can trust. An " About Me " page is your key to achieve that trust. Although it might seem unnecessary for you to create it, but it has a great impact on many eBay customers. What people think of you is another key to achieve success as an eBay seller.

On that " About Me " page, you will find a section dedicated to write whatever you want. Make use of that option and try to provide information about yourself that you feel could help you as an eBay seller. For example, if you are a single mom or a stay at home dad, you would probably want to mention that. Showing certain sides of your life and the reason behind your work on eBay is a great way to get eBay customers to see you as a person, just like themselves.

It is also quite useful to mention in your personalized " About Me" section, whether you are a full time seller on eBay or you just sell there occasionally and whether you specialize in a certain type of product or you sell a variety of items. Besides, try to write down everything you might think can act as a magnet to your potential customers. Keep in mind that what is written in your personalized "About Me" section should reflect what an eBay customer wants to see.

There are some other sections that eBay automatically admits in a seller's "About Me" page. Besides your own personalized section there is another one that includes a summary of all products available for sale in your different auctions. So if you are posting various items in different auctions, a summary of all these items will come out on your "About Me" page for everybody to see. All visitors are also provided with a link to the auction listing, the current highest bidding price, as well as a short description of what is currently available for sale. In a sense, having an " About Me" page can serve as a marketing tool which helps increase your chances of making a sale.

An "About Me" page on eBay normally includes information about your feedback. If you have been selling on eBay for a long time, you probably have a lot of feedback. Having feedback ratings displayed on your "About Me" page might work for your best interest, as visitors of your page will be able to see how well you have been doing as a seller on eBay. Though, you have to keep in mind that not all feedback ratings will be presented, only the most recent ones from your past dealings. Depending on how you closed your latest deals, these feedback might be negative, positive or neutral.

To have an " About Me" page on eBay is not a must. But with considering all the benefits mentioned above, you are advised to try making your own. It is free and takes only a few minutes to create. So go for it and you will find that the final result is really surprising.
