eBay Closed Listings



eBay Closed Listings should be the first place any seller visits if they are planning to list an item on eBay and want to know how much they can get for it. This is a quick and easy way for sellers to see similar items that have been listed on eBay in the past three weeks.


For those of you who don't know, Closed Listings can be accessed from virtually any page on eBay.com. Simply look for the Search bar (usually located in the top right area of a page) and click on the "Advanced Search" link. You will be taken to a box that looks like this:


Figure 1.A



The key to searching closed listings is using the right keywords, and knowing how to filter your results. If you use too many keywords, the search engine will look for auctions that have ALL the words in your query, and very few items may be returned. Conversely, if you enter too few keywords, a very general search will be performed and you will have a lot of unrelated items.


To make your closed listing searches more effective, there are a few filtering techniques that you can use to make sure that you are getting the most relevant resultsÖ

Hi,

This is just what the doctor ordered! Pricing is one of my buggest concerns. I don't want to price too high. Or too low for that matter.

Thanks for presenting.

Gail
