Where is the ebook Auction action at?

Often when you list a new ebook on ebay, you expect it to be sold literally in minutes!

When its not, the panic sets in, maybe the ebook isnt good enough, maybe i have the wrong title,
maybe the ebook price is too high etc etc.

Dont be so hasty, give your ebook auction some time, when most people search for an item on
ebay, they type in a few words and get a searched list returned that match their keyword.

Next they are shown a list, if its ebooks it can be 1000s of items, now the majority of people will do one of four things, they will change the search list output to either, newly listed, ending soon, highest price first and lowest price first.

If you item has just been listed, you will be quite high on the newly listed search order but if the person chooses ending soon your ebook auction is way down in the pecking order for now, but as time goes on you will move up the ending soon items and your ebook will get viewed that way, its a known fact that most ebay auctions see most of the action nearing the listing end date.

Now if you have an ebook that you are using to build your mailing list it will probably be 1p and be right up the item rankings for lowest price first, or if you have an ebook you are specifically using to get backend sales for another item, make it a low price too and get it seen more.

If you have an exceptionally great ebook, with a lot of interest, raise the price, what i hear you say???? yes get that price hiked up, if someone is looking for an ebook and change the search order to highest first, you want your ebook at the top, check to see which ebook is highest first price and make yours the same or 1p higher, you ebook auction will then be right at the top time and time again. Dont think people wont buy it because of the price, a high price makes people think its high quality!

So remember try and maximise the amount of times your ebay auction will be viewed, it will get more bids and more sales, and also remember, dont panic! most of any ebay auctions, not just ebook auctions, have a frenzy of bids as the ending item time grows closer and closer.
