How to Prepare for Selling Around the Holidays

Some of the best information about how to sell on eBay is available from eBay itself, including live online chat-style workshops.  If you can't attend live, never fear.  Transcripts of the sessions are archived for you to read and study anytime.  One such recent workshop was called "Holiday Sales 2010: Tips & Prep for a Successful Selling Season."  If you missed it but want to take advantage of the selling season that occurs on both sides of Christmas, you'll definitely want to click here and read through the session for some great information you can use. 

The workshop was presented by Lisa Suttora, an eBay expert who definitely knows her topic well.  A few highlights from the workshop include:

• What events and holidays are included in the selling season (some you probably haven't thought of)

• How to decorate your store for the holiday shopping season
• Why "Top Lists" are important
