Press Release Summary: 1. Keep secure
Make sure your passwords are really complicated. A mix of upper and lower case
letters plus interspersed numbers is best. Use what are termed as \"dictionary
obscure\" names too, not obvious ones such as a Christian name.
2. Save time
Whenever you find you are typing the same thing over and over e.g. usernames, use a
lovely piece of software called Short Keys Lite. It\'s free, and you can download it
from www.shortkeys.com


Press Release Body: 1. Keep secure

Make sure your passwords are really complicated. A mix of upper and lower case
letters plus interspersed numbers is best. Use what are termed as \"dictionary
obscure\" names too, not obvious ones such as a Christian name.

2. Save time

Whenever you find you are typing the same thing over and over e.g. usernames, use a
lovely piece of software called Short Keys Lite. It\'s free, and you can download it
from www.shortkeys.com

3. Get organized

If you use eBay regularly you will already know how quickly the emails mount up. Get
your folders in your email program set up properly now! Don\'t delay, you will save
loads of time in the coming months.

4. Squeeze your graphics

Whenever you put a picture on your auction page you add download time. You can make
sure your images are compressed to the lowest file size possible by using
SmartSaverPro. You can download a free trial version from www.ulead.com.

5. Quote the auction

Whether buying or selling, always quote the auction number in the subject and body
of any emails about that auction. So, whenever you get a query about it from your
seller or buyer you can always find the email communications about that auction.

6. Accept credit/debit cards

If you\'re selling, you WILL attract more bidders if you offer to take credit/debit
cards. Fortunately you don\'t need a merchant account to be able to do this. Just
open a free account with PayPal - the most used payment mechanism on internet
auctions. With Pay Pal you can accept all the usual credit cards plus Solo and
Switch debit cards. If you don\'t have a Pay Pal account, you can instantly create
one by going here:-

7. Become a Search expert

When you\'re looking for items on eBay, don\'t forget the Advanced Search facility.
Next to every search box you will see an Advanced Search link. You can be much more
specific, and save yourself hundreds of hits which you have might have to scroll
through to find the one item that you really wanted in the first place.

8. Be polite

Whether buying or selling, always try and be polite. As a priority, you want to
avoid any negative feedback. Although it might appear that feedback is more
important to sellers than buyers, this isn\'t necessarily the case. Even if you\'re
only a buyer at the moment, you
might find sellers exclude you from bidding if your negative ratio is poor. Also,
even though you might only buy on eBay at the moment, you could decide to try
selling in the future. Your eBay feedback rating remains with you whether buying or
selling.

9. Become a Help expert

I recommend you spend some time on eBay Help pages. Hidden in there are jewels like
Proxy Bidding. No, I\'m not going to explain this for you - have a look in Help!

Finally, you will notice this is only nine tips, and I promised you ten! Well, my
tenth is, if you\'re looking to sell professionally on eBay you should read my e-book
\'The eBay Formula\'. This shows you how to create successful auctions on eBay time,
after time, after time. You can find out about 'The eBay Formula' at
