If you need to make some quick money for the upcoming holiday season try the "buy-it-now" feature. I just recently did this and made a $100 fast!
Here's how to make sure your item sells:
1) Research how much your item has been selling on Ebay.
2) Take about 20% off what you should get and make that your "buy-it-now" offer.
3) Do a three day auction starting on Thursday.
Wha-la! Money deposited in your Paypal account!
I recently used this technique with 13 softcover Franklin the Turtle books by Paulette Bourgeois & Brenda Clark. I found the books at a local thrift store. I paid 25 cents for each one and sold them for a "buy-it-now" price of $24.99.Cha-Ching!
My researched showed that with an auction-style listing I could of probably got closer to $30 - $35. However, since I lowered the price I sold my auction quickly and still made a nice return on my investment.
You can see my listing while it's still in Ebay's database here.
