Ebay Business-Auction Tip 1- Maximize Bids By Timing Your Listing:

This trick works on most of the items, not all of them. However, you can expect to see some remarkable competition at the end of the auction.
Ebay Business-Auction Tip 4- Reasonable Shipping Charges:

Clear communication of reasonable shipping & handling expenses will lead to a good transaction that benefits both the buyer and the seller and good reputation for your store. To make this easy for you, here is the Ebay Business-Shipping Tool Guide on ebay.com for your reference.
