Hey everyone my mom is in the process of making an eBay consignment business for farming machinery and heavy machinery. I built her a website check it out www.imetalconsignments.com I was just wondering if anyone has some eBay consignment background. She has sold about 8 tractors so far, and it seems to be going really well. What types of tips would you give for starting out something like this? Any info would be greatly appreciated

I would start by doing some SEO on the site you built for her. The first thing I would do is make the site navigation text links instead of images. Read up on the basics of SEO and implement it.
