Hamburg  - Online deals abound, especially if customers keep their eyes on auctions where the gavel comes down on a workday. Many items selling for lower prices than comparable items when auctions are held at a weekend, reported a German computer magazine.

Therefore, sellers should schedule their auctions to end over the weekend, notes Computer Bild Spiele.

If a seller has problems describing his product, a quick scan of the internet should turn up a pre-written prescription. The magazine suggests using whole blocks of text as they often include the best item descriptions.

At the same time, sellers should avoid giving unnecessary details, as they can sometimes scare off potential buyers. Clear structure and bullet points, on the other hand, give more clarity. (dpa)
