How to Boost Your eBay Sales with a good About Me Page

How Important is it to have a Good ‘About Me’ Page on eBay?


Selling on eBay? If you’re selling on eBay you have to make sure that as many people as possible see your auction listings, otherwise you could be missing out on a lot of sales. So what’s the best way?


Writing brilliant product descriptions in your listing description box is one way (and always should be), and so should having a catchy title, but is there anything else you can do to get people to look you up? Of course there is, and it’s called the ‘About Me’ page.


If you’re relatively new to selling on eBay, you may not know what an ‘About Me’, page is, but it’s really quite simple. An “About Me,” page is a webpage that allows you to write anything you want about you, the items that you sell, or type of services that you offer.


Don’t feel that you shouldn’t be shamelessly boasting about how good you are, or what you can offer – that’s the whole point of it! If you are very good at something, let everyone know. Tell them about yourself, what you like and dislike but most important of all, tell them how good your products are, and what other auctions you may have got listed. This ‘About Me’ page is your big chance to advertise yourself and your products for FREE – don’t miss it!


All the successful eBay sellers, including the PowerSellers, have excellent ‘About Me’ pages linked to their items. If you’re in any doubt about what to write, or how much to say, then click on a few of these PowerSellers ‘About Me’ pages and see what I mean. Get some ideas from them before you do yours and copy what they do. It really does work!


If you also have your own website where you sell other items, this is the place to put in a link back to your website too. Just say that if they’re interested in similar products go visit your website and browse around. If you do this, make sure your website also has a link back to your eBay ‘About Me’ page. EBay doesn’t allow links to outside websites from anywhere except the ‘About Me’ page, so make it work for you.


Having an eBay ‘About Me’ page is completely optional, but, as outlined above, there are a number of benefits to having one. With an eBay ‘About Me’ page only taking a few minutes to set up, you would be seriously advised to at least give it a try. After all, you may be surprised with the results.
