Ebay has been around for almost 12 years now (9 years mainstream). Every day people register and expect to make a lot of money on ebay as beginners selling their items online. 90% fail, because they don't have a startup plan. The biggest problem is not having enough positive feedback. Once a potential buyer sees that you do not have a high ebay feedback rating, they will immediately think that you are a starter or even worse a scam artist. Here is a tip for you to make money as an eBay beginner :
"It is not necessary to have an ebay feedback of 50+ to start selling, even if you are a beginner in the auction community.
I would suggest that you buy 10 ebooks on ebay for around $2 each (from a DIFFERENT seller each time) and once they have emailed you the eBooks, you leave a positive feedback for them.
After that, you email every one of the ebay sellers and ask them to also exchange a positive feedback for you. That should give you a +10 Feedback within 2 days. Good for a beginner.
Then you start selling some low valued items for around $3 each ... That way you are sure that ebay buyers will bid on your items, even though you have a low positive feedback and are a beginner. After selling the 10 smaller items, you should have a +20 feedback within 10 days, depending on shipping time. Again, not bad for a beginner ;-)
Now if a potential buyer checks your feedback, they will see a +20 feedback (100%) and they will also notice that NOT all of your feedback are from sellers. The potential buyer/bidder will read positive feedback comments from previous buyers and be more comfortable. They can trust you. Trust is the most important factor on ebay. Remember that the buyer is not able to see you or the item in person, so reading positive reviews from other people will make them feel at ease and they won't even care that you are an eBay beginner.
Now you can start increasing the excellence of the items you are selling and be assured that there will be more bids on your items. When you started out a couple of weeks ago as a new ebay beginner, there was the same amount of potential buyers looking at your eBay auctions, but they were not comfortable enough to bid on your items. But now you have given them reason to trust you as an eBay seller (remember the +20 100% feedback ?)"
