When conducting searches on eBay listings, you may find items in a purple box found at the top of the search listings. Usually these items are ignored as these items are usually more expensive than other items.
However in some high traffic areas, with the help of this featured option, your item gets the attention it deserves. Just ensure that the location you place this featured option is one where potential customers will see it.
Also ensure that you sell the product at a good rate, so that it covers the additional expenses you pay for a featured option listing. However avoid placing featured options in listings that have many featured options as this way your featured option tactic will not be beneficial to you.

It is possible to use PayPal coupons, which are available at great discounts for your eBay transactions. Though you should receive your PayPal coupon on becoming a PayPal account holder, you can follow these tips if you don’t receive any coupons.
The first thing to do is to create a new eBay account, and not use it. Soon you will receive emails from eBay inviting you to bid for an item, where you can use a PayPal coupon if you win the item.
The second option to get PayPal coupons is to use Google to look for them. As these coupons are issued to all eBay members some time or the other, there are many websites that work only at sharing different types of electronic coupons.

After all your bidding on items on eBay, you are sure to find that after some time, your bid gets beaten at the last minute by one of those irritating eBay snipers. Though sniping is against the rules and can be reported to eBay, not many buyers actually do this.
So the only thing you can actually to do beat a sniper is to become a sniper yourself. On learning about the process of sniping, you can win more auctions and end up paying less than you would have to pay for a product.
You can snipe manually if you have time and an internet connection. You have to note when the auction is intended to end and ensure that you are in front of the page at the last minute so that you can outbid the winning bidder or defend your winning bid.
However ensure that your maximum bid is quite high when sniping manually. Otherwise, you risk being outbid and having the auction end before you can make another bid.
And avoid competing with one using an automated sniping service as they always manage to outbid you.
