Selling Secrets of E Bay Revealed How to Auction Like an EBAY Pro.
E bay can be tricky you may think it is great to
chase all the hot items and resell them as this
is what many eBay sellers try to do though
usually this is a saturated strategy where eBay sellers
low-ball each other scrapping out lower profits.
The reason i love eBay is id say 3/4th of my buyers
are from small towns. These people would rather shop eBay
then drive miles out of town wasting a day and gas
so this provides an opportunity for sellers like me
that can offer people in small towns what they usually find
scarce.
You might be saying well i don't want to invest in products
and worry about storing them and selling them the truth
is all you really need is a camera and an imagination.
You could talk to small business and neighbors about
selling products for them and splitting the profits 50/50.
If you know a store always has a certain item
you could snap a quick picture of it in that store
take it home write a nice description sell it on eBay
when you get paid from Paypal go back and buy it.
You just want to be sure though that the item will be there
Your ebay feedback rating is important to keep in good standing.
Ebay also has a feature that you can donate in increments of 10%
and upwards to charities these are tax deductible for some people
and you could network with people in your neighborhood to give
for a good cause Ebay will actually reimburse your listing fees
for donating to charity.
If you are new to eBay i recommend you look for products
that are light weight and small because high shipping charges could
mean the difference in you making more sales with more profit
If you can keep your packages below 1 pound
"including the packing materials with box"
you will save a fortune. The other day i was off by 1/10 of an ounce
and had to pay an extra 4 dollars.
The reason why this happened is i ran out peanuts
and i had to shred some paper instead the paper weighs twice as much
as the peanuts so i learned my lesson to always have peanuts available
investing in a scale is wise too.
I like to use freeauctiondesigns.com for my layout they have really
nice designs and a wide selection for whatever you are selling.
I also use a "showcase scroll bar from auctiva it will showcase items you are
selling in all of your auctions so you have a higher chance of selling
more than one item and has shown to increase sales by 25 %
Also if you don't want to pay for boxes USPS has priority boxes for free
you can get some brown paper and tape over the priority box
and pay the cheapest shipping option that way.
Instead of leaving random links to one of your auctions
it might be better to leave your my world ebay link
as this never expires and customers can see all your listings this way
