Picking the Right eBay Category Can Be Tricky

It’s easy to think you know pretty much all there is to know about a product you’ve encountered daily for most of your life, in my case postcards.

So I was really shocked to discover someone selling an identical postcard to one I listed on eBay; even more shocked to learn his postcard made £300, compared to my twenty-four quid. And my card was in much better condition, my description was more comprehensive, my illustration was better than the other seller’s by a long shot!

I’m not saying that to brag or to compensate for ignorance that cost me about £300.

The truth is, the other person had found a better category to list his postcard than I had chosen for mine. In fact the other person didn’t even list his postcard under ‘Postcards’, and let me tell you why.
