Picture a storefront that is bare as an empty pool with no water. The window has no showcase pieces, no sale signs, no glaring merchandise begging to be sold. Instead it sits empty more likely to send people away, then to invite them in to shop. This is a situation that doesn’t just happen in the physical world, it often occurs in online shops as well. Not just any online shops, but eBay listings to be specific.

The way your listing looks to others is a sure tell sign of the type of salesmen you are, and what type of quality products you are offering. Never so true has this theory been then when it pertains to eBooks, and other information products. You must know that selling eBooks online takes trust building efforts to a new level. There are many sellers of eBooks that peddle useless information like it was the secret to life. Selling eBooks on eBay should be a trust building experience that starts with having a quality product to offer, and ends with a proper listing.

Spicing up your eBay listings for eBooks is not hard to do, and can be done once, and reused over, and over again. The more repetition you have creating quality listings, the easier it will be for you in the long run. EBook eBay listings should consist of at least three items to make your listings pop; cover picture, your picture, and a preview of the text.

Most eBook products that are allowed to be resold on eBay will come with a cover image file that you can use to promote your product with. If you don’t have a cover image file, you can create one easily with some basic photo editing software, of you can buy a cover for as little as twenty dollars. The cover image will help make your listing official looking, and give the customer a visual image to put with your product title. This image should be used as your gallery photo when listing your eBooks on eBay.

Your picture while not as important as the cover photo, is still very important to help enhance your listings looks. A picture of yourself will add authenticity to the product, and give the listing some much needed emotional appeal. The picture of you should be dignified, not you at last summers beach barbeque, but you in a suit, or a button down blouse. Having a picture of yourself will give the buyers more confidence to buy when looking at your eBook eBay listings.

Finally include a preview of the eBooks contents in your listing. Don’t just give the eBay members a table of contents; try to give them a sample chapter, or two to help them understand why they must own your product.
