Let’s start selling but before…




Once you receive your items, you need high quality pictures for your listing. It is advised to find the picture online instead of taking your own picture. Please be careful that the uploaded picture would not violate copyright rules since your listing might be taken down and affect your account in a negative way.
As an example the picture below on the left violates Apple’s copyrights. Your listing would be taken down. However, if you list headphones using the picture on the right, you would not violate the rules unless the customers would complain to Apple and provide the proof (not very likely to happen).

Apple, headphones, copyright, materialApple, headphones, box, headphones, lid
                                   

When you submit a listing, please use the phrase: for Apple iPhone. Do not state that it is genuine when it is not since that is a criminal offence and you might face more serious consequences than just having your listing taken down.

It is very important to add the key words to increase visibility. As an example you can set the title as: High Quality USB Charger Cable Data For iPhone 5/5S/6/6Plus/6S Plus

From the personal experience, I would suggest you selling those items in auction. You should either choose 7 or 10 days until your listings ends. The best day and time for auction to finish is about 9-11PM on Sunday.  You can sell a few items a day as long as there is at least 30 minutes gap (recommended 1 hour) gap in between the listings. You should keep an eye on your competitors by searching through eBay when your competitor’s auctions end. You do not want your listings to end at the same time.

Please note that sellers from overseas are not your direct competitors since your customers want the item quick and they are ready to pay more for it. Please find the picture attached below as a great example of indirect competitors from China and United States.
