How do I attract users to my direct sales pages on ebay?

I'm a young entrepreneur and I run a small business on ebay. I have a couple of direct sales pages that I want to market, but I'm unsure of a few things. With so many places offering similar business I want to up my ranking in terms of clicks, rankings, blogging...etc. Can you recommend some methods used for getting targeted visitors to my homepage? How do I attract users to my direct sales page on ebay?

Hi Avilla, I ran an ebay shop for a while (to sell off some excess stock) and my rankings improved mainly because I attained a 100% positive feedback from my customers (in fact, it can become quite addictive NOT to let your feedback drop !). I just grew my site from user reviews and referrals from existing customers - concentrate on customer service - respond a.s.a.p. to any questions they may have, despatch immediately the payment has been approved, don't query returns - just handle them as efficiently as possible and you will find you will quickly improve your rankings.

Reputation is inded the key - you need people to know that it is worth the difference to come and find you. If you have unique products then you have to have them know where to find you. If you are selling similar thing to others then ebay is great because people already come to look for you there - you just have to provide a hook to make them choose you - faster shipping, quicker service, guaranteed returns for longer than the minimum delays, brightly coloured - whatever your sales hook is it has to set you apart.
