6 Tips for Selling Jewelry and Watches on eBay


 


On eBay, a watch is sold every five seconds, and a diamond ring is sold every minute. With more than 182 million buyers, eBay is one of the world’s leading online marketplaces for sellers of all sizes to share their unique inventory. You won’t find lower fees with any other competitor, including Poshmark and The RealReal.

EBay’s wide selection of luxury goods includes an unparalleled collection of brands, styles, new and pre-owned inventory, rare and designer—including fine jewelry, watches, and morel
Have some jewelry or a watch you’d like to sell but unsure of how to begin? Compiled by eBay experts, here are six tips to get you started today.

1. See What’s Trending
 
Get a pulse on which items are currently in demand by exploring eBay’s Trending search tool. This resource includes information on best-selling items and what buyers are searching for.
Some of the most popular gemstones sold on eBay include diamonds, sapphires, and aquamarines. Internationally, Rolexes are a favorite and one of the most sought-after watches by eBay buyers.

2. Be a Product Expert
 
Gather as much information as you can about your jewelry or watch to help understand what it may be worth. Some tips: Examine your item closely for any markings or engravings, and see if you can learn more about the item’s history, such as the maker, stones/materials used, and production era. Another great resource to check out is eBay’s appraisal tool, which shows the value of items bought and sold on eBay.

3. Capture Quality Photos
 
Photos play a key role in a sale. Snap multiple photos of your item from different angles and under great lighting (natural light is often best).

Use a solid white background to help draw a buyer’s attention, and make sure to highlight any signatures, dates, and details.

4. Write a Strong Product Listing
 
Put yourself in your customer’s shoes: What would you want to know before purchasing an item?
When writing your product listings, be as clear and descriptive as possible and include key attributes, such as style, color, grades (cut/clarity), brand, size, and condition, among other details. Try to anticipate what keywords buyers would use to find your item, and add those to your listing title.

5. Name Your Price
 
On eBay, you can choose between listing your product for auction or offering your item at a fixed price, known as our Buy It Now feature. Jewelry and watch sellers have found high success with the Buy It Now option coupled with best offers (where buyers can negotiate the price).

Additionally, auctions are strong for jewelry and watch sellers who start bidding at 99 cents with no reserve (the lowest price you’re willing to sell an item for). Auctions ending on Thursday and Sunday nights also tend to perform best.

6. Build Your Seller Reputation
 
Consistent positive feedback is important and can strongly influence your seller reputation. Aim to provide a great customer experience with every transaction. Maintain a strong communication line with your customer before, during, and after the sale, and answer any questions as promptly as possible.

You don't need to spend thousands to secure a well-made, reliable and stylish timepiece, you can find out the best and latest watches within your budget like men's watches under 1000 and best watches under 500.

Different Types of Watch Indices

Image
Notable Watch Index Styles Watches are comprised of so many intricate details from the inside out, some you may not even think of. From an aesthetic perspective, you might prefer a particular case material, dial color, or bracelet style. One element you might overlook is the watch’s indices. Indices are another way to refer to the watch’s hour markers. You may be surprised at how much different types of watch indices can impact the look of the dial. Here, we’ve compiled some common types of indices for you to consider. Arabic Numerals Arabic numerals are the most common symbols for numbers today, replacing Roman numerals. They can appear in watches in different forms. Sometimes, Arabic numerals may number each hour marker from one to twelve. Other watch designs use Arabic numerals at the three, six, nine, and twelve-o’clock positions. Occasionally, you’ll see only a single twelve-o’clock Arabic numeral marker.  In some watches, elements like a date window or chr

The 7 Biggest Jewelry Trends of the Fall 2019 Season

There are different ways to be sustainable. One that was bandied about a lot this season was the notion of investing in pieces you can keep for a long time. We’re still seeing the chokers, chains, and mismatched earrings of  Spring , so plan to keep those in heavy rotation. Updates to those categories included single feathers at  Louis Vuitton  and strands of linked paper clips at  Stella McCartney . Earrings were twisted into abstract shapes (see  Sacai ,  Acne Studios ), and Calderisms continue to flourish. Adding a surreal twist was the re purposing of coat hooks and drawer pulls as hardware at  Comme des Garçons . Elsewhere, punk accoutrements like safety pins and dog collars spiked the season with some broody, dark romance . The big news, however, was old news.  Celine ’s pivot to an “old Celine” aesthetic was in line with the “lady” look that first appeared last season. Studded at  Christian Dior  and served on the half shell at  Burberry , pearls are back, but they loo
