Add 5 images.
Use professional product shots typically with a white backdrop to clearly showcases product details. Take images from multiple vantage points to accurately represent the item. If you have less than five images then Tophatter won’t consider your offer to be a top listing.
-
Offer free shipping to the US.
This is an incredibly enticing to consumers. Tophatter say that for every dollar less in shipping, there’s a 6% increase in sell-rate.
We’d add to Tophatter’s advice and suggest that you also offer free UK shipping if you’re targeting your product to UK consumers.

Offer competitive shipping prices to global customers.
Tophatter recommend anywhere between free to $5 in shipping to customers globally, especially in Europe, the UK, Canada & Australia.

Offer competitive Buy Now prices.

Don’t bother. You are just a cog in the wheel. They change every day at a whim. You never know what is happening. The fees range from 20% – 50%. You end up giving away or paying people to buy your items. The only people making any money are the Chinese sellers.
They had a forum up until a month ago. The shut it down because they don’t want sellers talking to each other… Even eBay allows that.
