About me pages are extremely useful, and all sellers should have them.

eBay gives you free space to rant and rave about you, your company/hobby/services, and also to list all of your terms & conditions in one spot. Take advantage!

How Do They Help Me?

About Me pages help legitimize your business. Even if you are just selling a few odds and ends, potential buyers love to hear about who they are buying from. In fact, on eBay, it is usually better to be informal, so that your buyers can easily identify with you, and this will make them want to buy what you are selling.

In addition...

About Me pages can link to your own website, which you are not allowed to do in your auctions. This fact alone means that you should spend a few hours designing a clear About Me page that communicates who you are, and the format of the page should be consistent with your auction templates/website design.
