Maybe you have tried plenty of different ways to make your laptop AC adapter profitable on eBay. But the situation is still against your will.

  1. Potential customers can not find my listing at all.

  2. Customers come into your store but just glimpse then leave.

  3. They read your description but no purchase.

You are definitely not along to be one of those eBay owners. Then what’s the effective way to get a great listing and gain more traffic? How to grab customers eyeballs and stop them jumping to your competitor?

The best stores are not always the ones with the best price or the widest range of products. Great content and format is significant also, especially online. So pay more attention to the headlines, pictures, description and the format.

Headline as advertising

Most of the potential customers start the purchasing cycle by searching, so there is no need to talk about the importance of getting a good position on the search results. To let the buyer click the title that links to your store, facing with an overwhelming variety of products to choose from, a descriptive headline plays a great role. Important keywords of laptop AC adapter include the brand, part number, output, power,connect size.

These are some examples below of what a typical laptop AC adapter headline should look like when listing on eBay:

HP Laptop AC Adapter 18.5V 4.9A Oval Multi-pin

19.5V 3.34A PA-12 AC Adapter for Dell 5.0mm*7.4mm

The advantages of these headlines are two-fold:

For the buyer they are incredibly descriptive and give a good idea of what is behind the link.

For the search engines the carefully chosen and accurate keywords are more friendly. This ensures higher listing in the search pages.

Photos as spokesman

More products are sold based on pictures. No matter how large traffic you get from the search engine, if the buyers just pass by, all of the work you did to get hits is nonsense. Pictures are critical to a successful listing ,especially on E-marketing,for the buyers can not touch and feel the item they are purchasing. Just take clear pictures of different angles to show the details. And do remember the accessories should be included.

Great Bodies Sell Products

Apart from the headlines and photographs it is critical that the body text of the laptop AC adapter is as detailed as possible.

Again the reason for detailing is simple: The buyer is not "touching and feeling" the product so more text will reassure them more that they are getting a worthy item.

Text also clearly states what your product can and cannot do.

Simple HTML commands to make a good format

eBay has an HTML editor though it is limited. Once you start selling take the time to learn a little HTML. For example, you should start all of your eBay item description with the command: This will make your type larger and easier to read. It helps to break your item description into smaller shorter paragraphs to increase readability. Just use this command to create a new paragraph.

Also you can make your text bold by typing at the beginning of the bold text and where you want it to end.
