Pssst! Six Sizzling Secrets to Post-Sale Success!

Want to know how to get the most out of Honesty Post-Sale? We asked our own auction pro, Travis Brown, for his hottest tips!


  1. DON'T KEEP YOUR BUYERS GUESSING!
    It's easy to customize your Honesty emails and Checkout to let buyers know exactly what to do – and what to expect! Do personal checks have to clear before you'll ship? Do you only take credit cards through PayPal? Let your buyers know up front.

  2.  
  3. DON'T LET A SALE SLIP AWAY!
    Have a buyer who hasn't visited Checkout? Try sending a customized Honesty Reminder email! I know sellers who have reduced deadbeat bidder sales by 64%, just by sending multiple Checkout reminders.

  4.  
  5. DON'T GIVE UP TOO SOON!
    Remember, once you delete a closed auction, it's gone. Resist the temptation to "clean house" until you're sure that missing-in-action buyer isn't just on vacation!

  6.  
  7. SAVE TIME – DO IT IN BULK!
    It's easy to take an action for multiple sales at once (such as sending a Reminder email, or recording payment). Just go to your View Post-Sale page and click a column header to sort your sales – then click to Select those sales and choose an action button from the toolbar.

  8.  
  9. FOLLOW UP FOR FEEDBACK!
    Once you've shipped an item, just check to Record Shipped for that sale. In a few days, come back to your View Post-Sale page, sort to identify all your "shipped" sales, and shoot an email to those happy buyers to ask for feedback! Then archive those sales so you can focus just on the auctions that still need your attention.

  10.  
  11. KEEP GOOD RECORDS!
    Honesty makes it easy to keep your customer and financial records up to date. Just export your data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet – you'll always have the information you need to create a customer database or to placate a stern IRS auditor!
