Auctiva is basically a goldmine for any eBay seller, but before you get your teeth in, there are a few things you should know that will really help you get the best from Auctiva.

Before you get use to use any of their really good features, you will have to generate a token. A token is a piece of information that tells eBay you have allowed Auctiva to access your listings, without giving them your password. When you sign up on Auctiva, you'll get a screen that asks you if you want to generate an eBay token. You should click it. It redirects to eBay, and then your token will be generated. After this, you are free to start selling. And you will sell well, if you follow a few simple tricks that sellers use to maximise potential earning on Auctiva.

When you first start a listing, it's advisable to pick a theme or template. Normally eBay charges a small amount for these. But you can get some really great ones on Auctiva for free! There are over 1200 templates to choose from, so you're sure to find something that matches perfectly with your listing. They are 100% free and look very professional on an eBay auction.

To sell a product well on eBay, you need to provide images so people know what they are buying. eBay allows you one picture, and the rest cost a certain amount of money. Auctiva uses HTML code, meaning you can have up to 24 images for free! And if you choose gallery, you can choose which out of the pictures you want as the gallery picture! Plus, Auctiva templates include a button to show viewers a super-sized version of your image, again for Free! However you do have to resize images so that they are 600 pixels on the longest side. But good news, Auctiva has a Manage images feature, which allows all uploaded images to be cropped, resized, rotated and edited. So there is really no excuse for you not to join Auctiva, even if it was just to use this great feature alone.

A great listing needs a great counter, to show just how popular it is. Auctiva offer a range of very stylish counters. These look professional and very sleek. It's no wonder so many people have joined Auctiva.

When listing an item on eBay, you have lots of marketing features, such as bold, highlighted and featured. When you list an item from Auctiva you can choose these options, and you will get billed by eBay. It costs the normal fee. Auctiva don't take a penny!

But that's not all

Auctiva allows you to schedule your listings to start and finish at a certain time. This is great for tactical eBay sellers. I'll let you in on a trick of the trade: Most people go onto eBay to check their bidding after work, say around 7PM. As you probably know, the furious bidding goes on right at the end of the auction. So if you set it to end around 8PM, you'll have the biggest coverage.

Auctiva is a truly brilliant site which allows eBay sellers to create listings that sell with ease. They offer a range of quality services for free, which enable eBay sellers from all around to maximise their potential earnings. If you haven't already signed up to Auctiva, I recommend you do so now. You'll never regret it!
