Use consistency and a well-defined rating system so that buyers know what they're paying for.

This is a real time-saver for people with hundreds of simultaneous auctions. Turbo Lister is the most popular bulk-listing program. It's free and available for download on Ebay's web site. Other software applications are available for a low subscription fee.
