eBay Sales
Start off with a small to medium inventory. You can raise the price to cover your costs and profits or you can lower the price to increase your sales after the auction has begun.
You can increase the sales in your auctions if you improve the setup and design for your customers and visitors in your current and future auctions.
You can buy more from your supplier if the item does well in your auctions.
Buyer Discounts
You can offer your customers a discount when they buy more than one item from your eBay auction site or sites that are listed in your eBay store.
Your customers will appreciate any discounts that you offer to them. Your customers will say that you are a good eBay seller because they got a good deal on something that they needed or wanted.

If two or more items are ordered from your auction site that can be shipped to the customer together in the same box or as part of the same eBay shipping order you can offer a discount on the s/h cost.
You can charge your customers a more accurate rate for shipping that is based on their location by including a shipping calculator in your auctions.
You can find this eBay tool on the eBay business page.
Auction Details
