Experience: Be honest to the customer about your experience. Tell them how long you have been sewing. How you learned, show off handi-work from your past, anything that made you the sewer that you are today. Again, you are selling a service here so do your best to convince potential customers that you really do know what you are doing. Consider it your online resume. If you have an ebay store, included with your subscription is the ability to create custom pages, why not use these to show off your work?
Pictures: When ebay first started it was rather difficult to obtain digital images for the auctions, now, there is no excuse not to have lots of good, clear images in your postings. If you are selling an item that you don't have one already made in order to photograph it, make sure you have a good clear drawing or diagram in order to show the customer what they will get. It is best to have pictures of the fabrics as well. Ebay charges per photo, but if you use a template or write html code you can post lots and lots of pictures without the extra cost. There are a couple of sites out there that offer free templates and photo hosting. It is worth the time to find them and learn how to use them.
