What Am I Doing Wrong On Ebay?

It also just depends on what you are selling too. I see a TON of IHC good and bad go for not that much on there. But I agree the about the titles. It may also be the timing of when your auctions end. Usually on a weekday during the workday there will be less people bidding since some may be at work. I find for mine around 7pm central is a good time but then again I usually sell junk silver. Lastly no matter what it all depends on who is bidding at the time and some auctions just go for cheap because one lucky person gets it without too many others bisding.

The 1864 and the 1857 I ended because they sold at my coin club.

What I do for example.

Title and description is paramount.

I don't just put this:

1892 Barber dime

I put this:

1892 Barber head Dime 90 percent silver old US coin

I would also remove the grade from the title and listing description for raw coins.

By letting bidders determine the grade of the coin on their own, they may come to the conclusion that the coin is a higher grade than it may actually be, which could result in higher bids. There is also the chance that having grade in the listing, could make it easier for a buyer to claim the item is not as described, if they disagree with the grade assigned.

Start your auction at the minimum price that you are willing to take for the coin. If it does not sell in 21 days reduce your starting price. I do not do 99 cent starts anymore as I also have had coins sell for less than their value.

I agree with Slider. The few things I have sold on ebay I have always started bidding out at my lowest I am willing to take for item.

There are millions of bidders on ebay. Doing it this way will get you QUALITY (serious bidders) bids not QUANTITY bids.

I would recomend that you look at the sold activity first. Look at a selling result that looks like your coin. You will see a link that says sell similar. And use the format the previous guy used. That's how I run allot of my listings.
