eBay Auction Home Business Tutorial: Should You Accept Paypal, Checks, Or Money Orders?

September 4th, 2008

Running a successful eBay auction business, like any other business, depends on keeping your cash flow flowing! To do that, you’ve got to decide how you’ll ask your customers to pay for their items after the purchase. You’ve got quite a few options, one being the acceptance of personal checks.

I accept personal checks for eBay auction payments, so do many other eBay sellers, and it’s my recommendation that you do so as well. We live in an electronic age, but many people just aren’t comfortable sending payments over the Internet. Accepting personal checks means you have more prospective buyers.

If you choose to accept checks, you should do two things immediately. First, decide on your check acceptance policy. Second, make this policy clear in your eBay auction posting.

It’s a good idea to hold off on shipping a buyer’s item until their check clears. If you do this, make it crystal clear in your eBay posting. This can take anywhere from 7 - 14 days, and you may want to check with your local bank to get an estimated time for check clearance.

If you choose to take money orders, remember that there are a lot of different companies and banks that sell them. I personally find them more of a pain to deal with than they’re worth, but many eBay sellers do accept them.

The electronic payment system many eBay sellers choose to use is Paypal. eBay likes that, since eBay owns Paypal. Beyond that, though, Paypal does extend options that other payments do not.

When you accept Paypal, your buyers can pay you immediately, and as eBay sellers, we love that idea! Paypal isn’t free, though. They’re going to charge you a fee, and the fee is a percentage of the sale. This fee is a little higher for international orders as well.

My personal experience with Paypal has been good overall, and I’d estimate 80% of my buyers use it. Since I sell ebooks on eBay, my customers know that they can use Paypal to pay for the item immediately, which means that they can access the ebooks that much faster, which in turn means they’re more likely to buy. It’s a good deal all around.

Paypal has its detractors, and I’d like to see eBay allow sellers to use other electronic payment systems such as Google Checkout. I admit I’m not holding my breath for that to happen! With all its drawbacks, I find Paypal an indispensable tool for successfully making money with eBay auctions.

Some eBay sellers don’t accept electronic payments, but the majority of them do. It’s a good idea to visit www.paypal.com and read about the various fees they take from each sale. Once you do that, you can make an informed decision to the question, “To Paypal or not to Paypal, that is the question!”

eBay Auction Home Business Tutorial: Successful Selling Is All About Timing

September 4th, 2008

It’s been said that “success is all in the timing”, and that’s true of eBay auction postings as well! You can actually improve your item’s final sale price by up to 10% by having the auction end at the right time, and cost yourself money by having it end at the wrong time.

So what times are “right” and “wrong”? Part of it is simply applying common sense. If you’re selling a physical item (as opposed to an ebook or something delivered electronically), you may choose to ship only to buyers in your country. If that’s the case, don’t end your auction at 2 AM in your local time. Just because you’re up at that time doesn’t mean that everyone else is!

Some eBay sellers take this approach thinking that people will bid high to avoid losing an auction that ends in the wee hours of the morning. Personally, I’ve found myself not bidding on auctions that ended at such a time, thinking that someone will come in at the last second and outbid me. I’ve tried using auctions that ended when most of my potential customers were asleep, and I found the results were not as good as the auctions that ended during daylight hours.

If you ship worldwide or sell an electronically delivered item such as an ebook, you may not think the ending time is of real importance. This is not the case! A recent study by the University of Pennsylvania revealed that almost one-third of eBay auctions end between 5 and 9 PM Eastern Standard Time, and auctions that ended in this time period were almost 10% less likely to end in a sale due to the increased competition. One article called this “eBay happy hour”, but it’s an “unhappy hour” to those of us selling on eBay.

By choosing the right item and the right time to sell on eBay, you’re opening up a world of possibilities for your future and your family, and I’m here to help you do just that. See you tomorrow with another exclusive eBay auction home business tutorial!

Planning Your Own eBay Business For Success

September 4th, 2008

It’s a widely accepted idea that the quickest way to enter the world of internet marketing while earning a small income on the side is by starting your own eBay business Aside from the experience and earnings that you’ll get for internet marketing, the profit that you earn from the eBay business helps defray daily expenses.

Countless other people from all over the world - many of them common, everyday individuals - do the same sort of thing. They too earn extra income by running an eBay business.

Hundreds of eBay sellers, particularly the well-known success stories, began their respective eBay businesses as part-time endeavors. Soon enough, though, the same people saw that their time would be better put to use by handling the business full-time. They followed roughly the same model of those entrepreneurs who maintain long-term businesses.

The enterprise, though, is far from easy. In order for your eBay business to succeed, you need to be determined to steer it in that direction. You have to commit yourself to learning the necessary skills and knowledge, the ins and outs of the trade. Although the well-established eBay sellers seem to have achieved their status effortlessly, they likely went through the same procedure. It’s not just a habit that distinguishes those who have succeeded in online business and internet marketing; it’s a lifestyle that affects how they deal with others as a whole.

If all you’re looking for is a quick and painless way to big bucks, you’d probably be better off betting on the lottery. The path of running an eBay business is fraught with challenges that you have to learn to overcome. With the many tasks involved, it’s nothing if not difficult. The extent of your success will be determined largely by how well you can cope with the challenges and deal with the day-to-day tasks of maintaining an eBay business It is only by doing those things that you can progress and move forward.

Although it sounds like the more difficult choice, running an eBay business is not without its benefits as well. Because the transactions are carried out primarily over the internet, you’re afforded a great degree of flexibility with regards to where and when you work. This gives you more time to do other things like take up other pursuits, or spend quality time with your family.

Take the first step in your eBay journey today.

Would you like to be one step ahead of everyone else?

If so this piece of writing will help you and will exceed your bank account by lots of money.

When you trade on eBay you need to be exceedingly persuasive and build a fantastic relationship with your buyer if you don’t then you won’t make any money and nobody will want your product and you simply won’t sell and you multi millionaire dream will drift away.

The products that you select need to be rare on eBay and on other auction sites but in the same respect need to have a high demand. But how do we possibly calculate this?

Well I was recently stuck because I didn’t have a clue how to choose the best products so I rang up my mate and immediately he laughed. I asked what he was laughing about and he said that you don’t draw graphs to find the product you sell instead there is a great software which will calculate everything up and give a rate of success.

Even though eBay have its own free version it actually is not that good because millions of people read that at the same time and because that is calculated daily then you have got no chance what so ever and that product will not sell.

This new software is calculated by the hour and is so great the first ten products that I bought then sold using the software made me a profit that improved my investment by 69%. This software will guarantee you a result and will put you in to so much money.

Finding the Best eBay Products to Sell

September 4th, 2008

Would you like to sell products on eBay and never fail?

Would you like to know which products will sell quickly?

Would you like make lots of quick and easy money?

If there is a yes to all those answers my article will definitely help you.

The main problem with selling on eBay is sometimes the products that we sell never are wanted by anyone else. For example a product like Scissors would never ever sell for fantastic money unless if they were special scissors. So how do we pick the correct products to sell?

Heres my solution: We need to make sure that the products that we select are rare and are in high demand. EBay does provide this help however billions of people in the world are reading that which makes the products that are in high demand are now in low demand.

I have recently been told about a software and this is updated every hour therefore the product that I read is in high demand so I trade it and it stays in high demand because only another five people have traded that. Once a lot of people have traded it then it goes off the chart and the next product comes up. This software is called auction Inspector and what it will simply do is find the products in high demand and the ones that are rare.

I go for the products that are third or fourth on this chart and then I trade and make loads of money. You can increase the amount your making and the products will always sell and you don’t have many products its great!

Make Loads of Money on eBay

September 4th, 2008

Do you want to make money online?

Would you like to make money through eBay?

Do you want to make that money quickly and easily?

Trading on eBay is a really enjoyable and we all often enhance great turnovers. But we all can also fail miserably. When we select the products we want to use we need to do our ‘market research. As we all know market research is one of the most important thing in the retail industry in fact all industries.

We need to know which products are in high demand and which ones have low rivalry. Putting them on a scale together we then find products that are great to invest in.

In the retail industry I think its really important to be ahead of every one else and once everyone catches up to you then have the ability to move on. A software that I discovered compares the eBay market in seconds and accurately advises you what to sell and what not to sell. This software is able to give you accurate results which work a treat all the time.

There is a software that I have heard of and this brings so many positive results. There are different versions of eBay depending on where you live such as: Us, Ca, Au or UK. You will need to choose from those which one you will be searching through. So the good side is that it finds the most popular in your area.

The search doesn’t bring out many different results it only brings the ones that you are interested in such as electronics, antiques or what ever you may be interested in.

Then your comparison will begin.

How to Profit Using eBay’s Saved Search Feature

September 4th, 2008

Did you know that eBay will help you locate products you can buy cheap, then flip for a quick profit? No? Then listen up, because I am about to let you in on a little known feature of eBay that can literally stuff wads of cash in your wallet in less than 24 hours.

This is an eBay tool that I use every day to locate products that I can buy and resell or buy cheap and keep for myself and my family. And the great news is you can use it, too.

What is it? It’s eBay’s Saved Search feature and you can use it to start making money tomorrow.The Saved Search feature that will let you set up a saved search criteria and eBay will let you know when an auction that matches your search criteria has been posted.

Let’s say you’re on the lookout for a Pete Rose card to complete your collection. You could troll eBay every day on your own and to see if anyone has listed such a card or you can set up a saved search and make your life a lot easier.

Here’s how it works….

Got to eBay.com and sign into your account. If you do not have an eBay account all you need to do is set up a free buyer’s account.

After you’re logged in, type in your search criteria into a search window. For this example we will type in Pete Rose. Click submit and you will get a page of search results that match your search criteria.

At the top right of the search results listing you will see a link labeled “Add To Favorites.” Click the link.

On the next page you will see “Create a new search” or “Replace an existing search.”

If this is a new search select the “Create a new search” button, give this search a name (the search term you used will be in the Search Name box by default, in this case “Pete Rose”).

You can select to receive a daily email if there are new items listed that match your search criteria.

Click “Save Search.”

Now you will receive an email every morning with new items that have been listed that match your saved search criteria.

If the search term Pete Rose is too broad you will receive notifications for every auction that has the term “Pete Rose” in the title or description. You can always narrow the saved search by adding “Pete Rose Card” or something more specific. Just don’t get too specific or you may miss items that you’d be interested in.

How can you use the saved feature to make money on eBay?

Easy, you set a saved search to let you know when something has been listed for sale that you might buy and sell for a higher profit. For example that Pete Rose card might have been listed by someone who is willing to sell it cheap or doesn’t know its real value. You could buy the card, make them happy, then sell it for a higher price yourself. This is how commerce works, folks. You buy cheap, you sell high.

Let’s look at another example. Let’s say you have an eBay shop that sells designer shoes. Naturally you would want to know when someone else lists designer shoes for sale because they may be a competitor you need to monitor or just an individual who has a closet full of designer shoes to sell cheap.

You set up a saved search with the keyword “designer shoes.”

Each time an auction is posted with the term “designer shoes” in the title or description, eBay will let you know.

You can immediately check out the auction and if the shoes can be scarfed up and sold for a higher profit, you made money.

I think you would be amazed at how many Powersellers are using this secret TODAY to find merchandise they can buy and flip on eBay.

You should do the same.

Here’s to your success!

Get An Online Auction Degree at eBay University

September 4th, 2008

That is right you read this title correctly, eBay has a training center called eBay University. Now they don’t give out any traditional diplomas at this institution of higher learning because you won’t need them. What you do get is real world practical advice, tips and tricks to making the most of your eBay or online business.

Where is eBay University?

Through eBay university you can quality and easily take classes at one of their on site locations or even in the comfort of your own home. They have offer two different formats for learning. There are the short 2 to three day seminar classes where you can attend in person at some location close to you or you can attend an online course right on eBay itself. Each has it’s advantages and disadvantages and it really depends on your time.

What Will I learn?

There are many different classes offered at eBay University and you can learn a wide variety of topics and skills. However the classes typically focus on sellers and how they can make the most of their business. The courses will start with the most basic information like how to sign up for a new account all the way to the finer points of selling like price auction pricing strategies using sales data.

How will I learn?

This depends a good deal on what format of classes you take as online courses are obviously done differently then the in person workshop location you can also attend. How you will learn will change somewhat between these two options. Most of the eBay courses are really set up to be a adult friendly teaching environment with lots of hands on activities and lots of practical learning.

What Courses Should I Take

If you are looking at becoming an active seller on eBay then you will want to start with a “Selling Basics” course. Even if you are already have a seller account and made a sale or two taking the “Selling Basics” course is a great idea because you will learn a few new tips. Second you will want to take an advanced course “Beyond The Basics”

Either way you slice it you will come out a winner with eBay University programs. They are very reasonable cost wise to sign up for and the amount you will learn is incredible. This can really help accelerate your online business.
