Its surprisingly easy to kill your eBay business, if youre not careful sure, you might start over from scratch without it costing you anything, but do you really want to? Still, if you want your business to end up dead in the water, here are some simple ways to do it.

Lie about an product: Say it works fine when it sometimes doesnt work. Say its in perfect condition when it has a scratch. Your customers will hate you!

Post whenever you feel like it: Make sure to leave your customers hanging around, wondering when their merchandise is going to turn up. This makes sure they buy from someone else next time.

Let items end anytime: Few many people will be around to care about your auction if it ends in the middle of the night. Why go to the trouble of working out whether auctions will finish at a grand measure ?

Dont bother with e-mail: Customers are just timewasters anyway. eBay businesses are supposed to run themselves! Never give informed responses to questions about your product.

Sell rubbish: Really, its just eBay. You can just sell any old tat from the advertise for a 200% profit. Let quality be someone elses concern I mean, really, what do they expect for that price?

Refuse to give discounts: You understand what your items cost, you know what your profit margin is going to be, and youre not going to negotiate. Remember that giving customers special deals might generate them feel great and come back to you again.

Make your listings ugly: As many colours, flashing lights and animations as possible will really give those customers a headache. Write as much in CAPITALS
