Make Money Online With Ebay Tips And Tricks
the fact that anyone can create multiple streams of income.
Having a home based business which allows you to work from
home and make money online has never been easier. If you
already have a home business such as a website that you
market everyday then good for you. Thus you already have one
income stream online, but what about having a second? Ebay
is a great way to create a
second income stream within one week. The first task is to
go to Ebay.com and create an account which is very simple.
Next, go to Paypal.com and create an account there which
will allow you to buy and sell easily. Now once you have
your accounts created you need to build your Ebay feedback
score up to at least a 10
(this is the number next to the star). Feedback is given by
both the buyer and the seller on every transaction done on
Ebay, either positive, neutral or negative. Positive
feedback boosts your score 1 point, neutral leaves it the
same and negative drops your score 1 point. Always leave
positive feedback so you receive positive feedback in return
unless you are forced to leave negative feedback i.e. they
never delivered the product which is extremely rare.
Feedback is like your business reputation expressed as a
number with a different colored star next to it depending on
how many transactions you have
completed. This is an important step because this will make
customers feel comfortable enough to buy products from you
due to your 100% positive feedback score. There is a trick
to conducting 10 successful transactions and building up
your feedback score quickly. What you do is type phrases
such as: 1 cent ebooks, 1 cent recipes, 1 cent
pictures...etc in the search box. Find and buy 10 1 cent
items with your Paypal account. Make sure that you buy from
10 different sellers because each specific seller can only
leave you one feedback. Ebay will not let you leave feedback
until you have been a member for at least
5 days. Once the waiting period is over and you have paid
for the 10 items you can go ahead and leave feedback for
each seller such as: great seller, wonderful seller, fast
response time pleasure to deal with you or anything
positive. Thus they will leave positive feedback for you
such as: superb buyer, come back anytime or something of
that nature. Now that your feedback
score is ample, you are ready to sell products. From my
experience, there are a few great ways to find products to
sell on Ebay. First start with anything around the house
that you do not want anymore, do not care about or do not
need anymore.
People will buy anything on Ebay so feel free to list these
items because you already own them so you will make 100%
profit if they sell. Second, if you live in a major city or
area with a large population like I do, you will be amazed
at what items people just put out on the sidewalk because
they no longer want them. I keep an eye out for and have
found all kinds of furniture, antiques, decorations
clothing...etc while driving around and sold them on Ebay.
Lastly, a great place to find and sell products digitally is
Cheapstingybargains.com. What you do is first become a
member of Amazon Prime which is free for 30 days and then
only $80 per year after the trial. Amazon Prime members
receive superb deals on the products listed on
Cheapstingybargains.com. Let's say that there is a 5.1 THX
Audio System listed on the website which you can buy for
only $200, go
ahead and list that product on Ebay for something like $250
and make a $50 profit. When you do sell an item off of this
website, always make sure to check the Gift Option when
shipping the item so the price that you bought it for is not
on the package.
Another great aspect about Cheap Stingy Bargains is that
they offer overnight shipping for only $3.99 or 2 day
shipping for free. Therefore, you can always set the
shipping cost at Free on your Ebay listings when selling
items from Cheapstingybargains.com. As you can see, there
are a variety of ways to find great products to sell on
Ebay. However, there are some tips and tricks you need to
know about creating listings and doing auctions. Before
listing an item it is always a good idea to do some Ebay
research on the product first to see if the
same or a similar item has sold and for how much. To do
research, click on Advanced Search, type in When listing
your products always make sure to list them in the
appropriate category and put more than one picture when you
can. The trick to putting up additional pictures for free is
to upload them first onto Photobucket.com and input the HTML
code for each picture into the HTML section of your listing.
Next, write as much text about the product as possible
because customers like to read and learn information about
the product. Write your text
with various font sizes and using color variations is always
a great idea. There are a few ways to go about pricing your
items. You can list your product for 99 cents and let people
bid for the item or you can set a fixed buy it now price. If
you are going to go the 99 cent route because it is cheaper
to list, make sure that you have your feedback score up to
at least a 15
so you can set a reserve price so you do not lose money
especially when listing products from
Cheapstingybargains.com.
Also, if you are listing products from this website, make
sure to check the price of this item everyday because the
price can fluctuate or the item can become unavailable. So,
adjust your Ebay listing accordingly. With regards to
auctions, longer auctions such as 7-day auctions are always
better because it gives people more time to bid and you the
opportunity to make more money. Always make sure to include
at least one full weekend in your auction because people
make most of there Ebay
purchases over the weekend when they have free time.
Remember to always monitor your products and your listings
at least once a day. The more products you list, the more
money you will make on Ebay.
