eBay sales commands is a phrase that I use to cover the buying motivations for successful eBay sales. In other words, according to my research I have found that most eBay shoppers bid for certain reasons.

Once an eBay seller understands what these reasons are, he or she can make sure that their auctions are geared towards fulfilling those reasons.

Here are some of the top reasons I have found that eBay shoppers have for bidding on items:

1. eBay shoppers are looking for excitement. They are looking for an item which will provide entertainment value. The more exciting the item is, the higher the level of interest.

2. eBay shoppers are nostalgic. They love finding collectibles and novelties that remind them of an earlier time. Many eBay shoppers look for comic books, toys, and posters, which they had when they were younger.

3. eBay shoppers are also curiosity seekers. If an item seems unique it will pick their interest.

4. eBay shoppers are looking to save money. They love bargains where they receive a good value for a relatively low price.

You will still need a good set of skills to make your eBay auctions successful. According to Janiece Smith from ebaybusinessbook.com you need to have a system in place.

It should be a system which can be repeatedly used for all your eBay auctions, regardless of what the item being auctioned is.
