Selling On Ebay, Without Touching Any Goods!

First off go to either Beltal or DH Gate register on one or both of the websites, search around for some of the hot items on the market at the moment, iPhones, designer sunglasses etc. Once you’ve found a product you are planning on selling on eBay, check to see what other people are selling it at, depending on this you can easily make $10-30 profit per sale. For example a iPhone clone might be sold for $100 at Beltal and $150 on eBay which means you’d be earning $50 profit, obvisouly to increase your sales you’d probably sell the iPhone clone on eBay for $130-140, but that still $30-40 profit, please note that was just a example.

You should always check the sellers reputation on Beltal / DH Gate to make sure they aren’t scamming people or sending the wrong items, if this does happen, you are pretty screwed. Now your at this point, you should check out the bulk deals, a iPhone clone might be sold at $100 on Beltal, but if you buy 5 then it’s only $95, that means you’d earn another $5 profit per sale.

Check out the postage costs from China, try to get free shipping in bulk or a good discount on bulk shipping, this will save you some more money and that means you’ll be making even more profit! List the items you can get in bulk on eBay make sure you don’t mention it’s a fake/clone and don’t use the official product name, use the product name for example instead of iPhone, use Touch Screen GSM Quad-Band Cell Phone, don’t go into details about the product, just list the features of it, the name of the product and some good photos of the product.

When adding the listing make sure you add a reserve price or a ‘buy it now’ function to insure you make profit and don’t lose money, also mention it can take up to 10 days for the shipping. Once you’ve got 10 listings up, make sure the only payment option is via Paypal, buy the bulk packages of the product from Beltal / DH Gate, then have each product drop-shipped to the buyers address, this means you don’t have to touch anything. Then just repeat this process and rinse in the cash!

Good luck to anyone that does this method, it’s good money if you get some good suplpiers and expand your product range. Remember to never ever mention that the products are fake/dupes of the real product and your fine.

How To Make Money Writing And Selling Ebooks On Ebay

Among the better selling commodities on the internet are electronic books, or eBooks.

Ebooks are, well, books that can be read and enjoyed, albeit, in digital format. They often come in the form of a .pdf file, readable via Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded for free.

Ebooks are also one of the better selling items on eBay.

Put one and one together and you’d immediately know that you can make money writing and selling eBooks on eBay.

Nay! You can make LOTS of money writing and selling eBooks on eBay.

Ebooks belong to the general category of information products. Information products, though they initially give an intimidating impression, are very easy to create. Being blessed with some writing prowess would most definitely help you out. But basically, only two things are needed with information products:

Information which is sellable; and
A good grasp of the written language

You would need to have information which people would want to have. Information is a commodity on the Internet. What you know may prove very valuable to other people.

Do you know how to make money by recycling a variety of things, for example? Most certainly, you’d have interested buyers for such information. Or maybe you have some recipes that friends and family have adored for so many years. There is an audience for that as well.

You can opt to write your own eBook, or, if you don’t have the time or if you’re not that confident with your writing skills, you can always outsource the creation of an eBook to freelancers who are experts in such a field.

You can indeed make money writing and selling eBooks on eBay in a variety of ways. Here are some of the popular business models you can pursue:

Sell personal rights to your eBooks. This means that only the buyer can use and enjoy your information products.

Sell master resale rights to your eBooks. This means that the buyer will also receive the right to resell your eBooks. You can sell such eBooks for a higher price, given the fact that you will also be providing an income opportunity for the buyer.

Sell private label rights to your eBooks. PLR will allow the buyer to alter, modify, change and even brand the eBook as if he was the creator thereof. Information products with PLR can command a good price because they do not only award an earning opportunity, they also grant intellectual ownership to the wielder of the rights.

Transform your eBook into an audio book. This can easily be done with the help of a good USB microphone and a software program for recording and manipulating the quality of voice input. Add some appropriate background music and you’d have a fantastic product that people will love!

Transform your eBook into a video product. This doesn’t work for all kinds of eBooks. Only educational eBooks can be converted into videos with ease. Instead of describing how a process should be carried out, show your buyers the step-by-step procedure by recording yourself with a good video capturing device.

Before you start to make money writing and selling eBooks on eBay, you must take heed of this warning: eBay has prohibited the sale of digital products. To go around this rule, you should sell digital products stored in physical media such as a CD or a DVD, and merely provide your prospects the option to download the digital version of the item immediately after payment.

There are few online earning opportunities that are as easy and as rewarding as when you make money writing and selling eBooks on eBay. It is a business model that absolutely deserves serious consideration from people who want to establish highly profitable income streams on the internet.

3 Tips To Make Money Selling On Ebay By Buying Right

Today’s difficult economy has generated some changes in the formula to make money selling on eBay. In some cases eBay sellers are finding it more challenging to successfully make the sale. In other cases sellers are seeing sales growth in-spite of economy. But what are the secrets? How can some sellers achieve success on eBay while others fail? In this article I present 3 tips to make money selling on eBay by buying right.

1) Make money selling on eBay by first recognizing how informed your target buyers have become. As a group eBay buyers have always been pretty well informed. They know a great deal about the products they seek. In fact, they often know much more than the sellers. They also know the right price to pay; at least the right price for them to pay.

2) Your challenge as a seller is to conduct thorough market research before you attempt to sell. While there was a time when almost anything could be sold, that is not the case in today’s marketplace. You must thoroughly research not only the market niche, but also the products you’d like to sell. Fortunately the eBay site offers a wide assortment of tools to make that search much less challenging and difficult, even for the newest of sellers.

3) To make money selling on eBay requires buying the products you sell at the lowest possible prices. Many of the most successful sellers knew this fact from early in their selling careers. They invested the time and effort to locate wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors offering extremely low pricing during the better economic times. In today’s marketplace you must join them. You can no longer count on luck as a way to offset bad buying. You too must do the work to locate those special suppliers offering products for pennies on the dollar.

If your plan is to make money selling on eBay in today’s market environment, focus on locating quality suppliers who will reliably provide the products you seek at low, low prices. Only then are you positioned to generate huge volumes of profitable sales. Only then will you be able to say you make money selling on eBay.

To your eBay success!

Making Money On Ebay – Real People, Real Stories And Real Fortunes Made Possible By The Internet’s Biggest Auction Site

A lot of people are wondering whether or not they can really make money on the internet. These people should be directed to the stories of people who are not only making money on eBay, but who are actually making a FORTUNE on eBay.

Ebay, of course, is the World Wide Web’s biggest auction site where sellers can put up items and visitors can either bid on them or purchase them outright if there is a Buyout (BO) price.

But to think of eBay as a mere auction site would be quite myopic.

The truth is this: eBay is a highway towards unlimited wealth for people who know how to navigate its system.

Let’s look at the story of David Wirtenberg who is making money on eBay using the convention auction setup. David sells engagement rings that are usually purchasable at $700 to a high $5,000. However, whenever he starts an auction over at eBay, he starts with the price of 99 cents. It’s an excellent way to win people’s attention – by giving them the lowest price possible. David admits that sometimes, he does lose money following this model, but often, he makes a killing by rousing up the competitive fire amongst the bidders. David is making money on eBay to the tune of around $10 million per year.
Setting up auctions isn’t the only way of making money on eBay, however.
An eBay account can even become a rich commodity itself.

Take the case of Jay and Marie Senese, a couple who are very popular amongst the denizens of eBay for having the highest feedback rating in the history of the auction site. By selling over quarter of a million CDs for a cent each, they were able to amass feedbacks that other sellers can only dream of. How did they capitalize on what they had? They sold their account for a whopping $5 million!

Tiffany Tanaka invented a new system of making money on eBay. She targeted people who always wanted to sell their stuff on eBay but who haven’t started trying for one reason or another – either they didn’t know how to proceed or they didn’t have the confidence that they’d succeed. Tiffany gathered consignments from her external website and sold the entrusted items via her eBay account, with a little markup of course. Her total sales to date: an impressive $2.7 million.

A lot of the internet marketing superstars today use eBay as an extension of the official online stores. And there are even offline merchants who have decided not to create websites for their real world businesses. Instead, they have chosen to use eBay as the online extension of their brick and mortar shops.

Making money on eBay isn’t limited to a specific business model. You can sell your own product. You can buy an item for a lower price and sell it for profit. You can find a drop shipper and act as a broker for its goods.

The methods of making money on eBay are as diverse as the ideas that people nurture.

But one thing is beyond doubt – eBay is a goldmine for people who know how to dig.

Promoting Your Goods On Ebay

1.Be Sure Your Listings Make
Buyers who visit the eBay site are bargain shoppers. They want to get their items at the lowest possible prices. They’re also more cognizant about the “hidden” expense buried in the item’s shipping and handling fees. When you set these fees, you must take into account every expense involved in your packing and shipping. You can’t make your shipping area a losing proposition. Items in the adult only area are not openly accessible through the regular eBay title search, nor are they listed in Newly Listed Items. Anyone who participates in adult only auctions on eBay, whether as a bidder or a seller, must have a credit card on file on eBay for verification.

2.Understanding the Finer Points of Selling
The basic plan for running an auction is the same for everyone, except for decisions regarding the timing of the auction and the starting price. If you speak to 20 eBay sellers, you’ll probably get 20 different answers about effective starting bids and when to end your auction. Until you develop your own philosophy, I’d like to give you the tools to make a sound decision. Another debatable philosophy is auction timing. People are always asking me how long to run auctions and what’s the best day to end an auction. You have to evaluate your item and decide which is the best plan.

3.Listing Your Items for Sale
After you decide what you want to sell, find out as much as you can about it and conduct a little market research. Then you should have a good idea of the item’s popularity and value. The Sell Your Item form is where your auction is born. Filling out your auction paperwork requires a couple of minutes of clicking, typing, and answering all kinds of questions. The good news is that when you’re finished, your auction is up and running. Many eBay sellers will tell you that selecting the exact category isn’t crucial to achieving the highest price for your item — and they’re right. The bulk of buyers (who know what they’re looking for) just input search keywords into eBay’s search box and look for their items.

How To Make Money On Ebay : Secret Tricks And Tips To Make You Money!

Can you make money on Ebay?

This is a question many people have asked at some point. A lot of people dream about quitting their job to work from home on Ebay. There is a slight difficulty with this way of thinking: everyone else has the same idea.

In reality there are very few sellers who have actually made a success of the Ebay home business plan. With this in mind is an Ebay business really a solution for everyone?

Well on one hand there is the fact that there is a very large amount of money passing through the famous auction site every single day. Why shouldn't some of it be yours? But on the other hand, Ebay is littered with failed business start ups, people who have tried (and failed) to make money on ebay.

But there is some good news. After all, the purpose of this article is not to put you off selling on the auction site. There are just a few things you need to know if you are serious about selling on Ebay without becoming a failed start-up like the others, who perhaps would have benefited from reading this article.

There are a few main points to think about. Number 1 is to always do your research. Make sure you know about what you are selling. Check out the competition. A good tip is to check the feedback of sellers who are selling the same product as you. From this you can work out how much money they are making by working out how much is costs them to buy the stock, how much in listing fees they are paying, what they sell the item for etc.

How many competitors are there? Too many? Too much competition will mean selling prices will be cut in order to grab customers from another store. Ask yourself whether it is worth you starting up your ebay business with this in mind.

Can you get the stock? After all this is the main thing. If you don't have a quality product that buyers actually want then you are wasting your time. With all the competition on ebay offering such a diverse variety of products, you have to make sure that yours is the best, most sought after item in the listings.

Can you get the stock at a reasonable price? Will you make enough of a profit buying at your wholesalers prices? You would have to sell at quite a low price to gain custom with so many other business selling the same thing you are. Perhaps you need to shop around for the lowest wholesale price possible?

Remembering these points may help you when starting your auction site business. Fast success won't happen overnight. But pay attention, put the effort in, and after a while you might just find you have your own successful ebay business.

Choosing The Right Product To Sell On Ebay

With little investment, eBay offers a solid opportunity for people to start their own home based business, but only if they take the time to educate themselves and know what they’re doing. Did you know that a Corvette sells on eBay every 46 minutes, a diamond ring every six minutes and a digital camera every 90 seconds.

In the first years of it’s existence eBay was not a very competitive place. If you wanted to sell your old LP’s on eBay, you could probably rest assured that you were only one of a handful of people doing that. Things have changed and the competition on eBay today is much more fierce. But before you throw your hands in the air and give up you should also note that the buying market has also increased exponentially. Or to put it more simply: even thought the number of sellers increased, so has the number of buyers.

What you decide to sell is up to you, but understand that a bit of planning can go a long way towards making you successful and giving you less headaches.

Depending on your choice for merchandise you may be a low volume seller or a high volume seller. You can make money either way as long as you understand the economics of the situation. Of course you can be a low volume seller and list one or just a few items at any one time, each with high profit margins. You can also be a high volume seller who conducts many auctions at the same time typically more than 10 at any one time, but each sale generally has a lower profit margin.

Before you settle on what you will sell you should know that eBay has some rules on what you can sell. If you violate eBay policies you can have your listing canceled and forfeit listing fees your account may be suspended and you can lose power seller status. On the list are included obvious things like adult material, alcohol, contracts and personal information for example.

You are going to be spending a lot of time finding out about and researching the items you choose, their value, and write descriptions… so you might as well enjoy yourself. If you stick to items that you like it will make your life a lot easier, so sell items you know about. As always, there are exceptions to the rule and we will be discussing these later on.

You may want to go with the crowd and stick with the most popular categories or take the road less traveled used eBay Pulse to view the 10 most popular categories each day. The eBay Pulse is very useful if you need to know what’s hot selling-wise on eBay.

You can also make money being a reseller, reselling new items that other businesses could not dispose of. This is how it works: you buy out remainder lots from businesses disposing of unsold inventory, maybe last year’s models (some people don’t have to own the newest camera or the latest fashions) and you then sell each new item for more than you paid for it.

If you choose to sell your own crafts on eBay then you should do a little math before you start and see how much time and effort it takes you to create your item, list it, ship it if sold and the profit you’ll be making. You certainly don’t want to be working 5 hours on something to make only $10.00 in profit when all is said and done.

It is important to discover untapped selling opportunities that you can exploit to make money. One of the first places to start by looking at the popular items featured on eBay by page. Go under “Categories” and drill down into the sub-categories and see what sells. You will notice the bestsellers in various categories such as DVDs and CDs and books.

Another place to look is at Seller Central - your source for the latest seller tips and tools. There are also services, such as Terapeak which give you sell-through rates and information on trends, what’s hot and what’s not. These services start at around $14.95 or $19.95 per month.

Services like this help you find the categories and merchandise with the best sellthrough rates.

In general, it is recommended to find a niche. This can help differentiate you from other sellers on eBay. This is a good strategy but remember that your niche must have a decent market. In other words, you may find something to sell that nobody else, or very few, are selling on eBay… but if the market is too small it may not be worth your time and effort.

Dropshipping is also a very popular method. With dropshipping you don’t actually stock the merchandise. You just sell it and have the manufacturer ship the item directly to the buyer. Some good dropshippers will make it look as if the item came directly from you. I know at first glance this seems great, but remember that everything comes at a price. The profit margin in dropshipping is dramatically lower and sometimes dropshippers may create problems for you, such letting you know after you’ve sold an item that they actually ran out of it. This doesn’t bode well with customers. Still, in some circumstances dropshipping can work.

Always remember to be positive and do your homework. Stick with products you know or you like and most importantly: Get Out There! The only way to learn is by doing.
