Personal Technology Tips in Plain English
#1 Pitfall To Avoid When Selling on eBay
I started this site to dish out advice that my friends and associates all seem to like and actually follow now and then.
From experience as an eBay Powerseller with over 5,200 positive feedback ratings, it’s amazing to learn some of the small things you can do with your marketplace item listings that will have real impact on sales.
Today, I plead for you all to read this one piece of advice so that we can help make the web & the world in general a better place for all, OK?
While it is true that selling on eBay can give you the freedom to “work at home in your underwear,” that catch-phrase is not really meant to be taken literally. . .
Epsecially when you are taking photos of highly reflective objects for sale.
To be clear, I clearly advise you AGAINST standing naked in front of an item while taking it’s photo — especially if it is something out of which buyers are going to be drinking fluids after receiving it.
Thanks for listening!

UPDATE: I’ve had a couple of inquiries if this photo above is something that I created myself for this example. The answer is a FLAT OUT “NO!” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
I love tech, gadgets and the web. Hope you pick-up a useful tip or two here today that helps you use technology to your advantage! Better yet, why not share your own expertise in a comment on a post today to help the other readers that land here for answers!
