Still here? Ok, here is how you can make money on ebay:
Find drop ship suppliers
Many people try to do business on ebay by selling their old stuff. How much old stuff do you have? Will it be enough to make up for one month income? What after that, you are going to go on garage sales, buy items for $5 and sell them for $15 on eBay? Don't be kidding, this is not a way to make real money.
If you want to make business on eBay you need a business approach. If you can produce something (I mean mass production!), then great, go ahead and sell your own stuff. If not, you'll have to become a retailer. And what retailers do is to buy stuff from big companies and sell it on retail.
Fortunately there is a method online that is helping you avoid storing and shipping products. It's called drop shipping and basically means that you make a sale, then the manufacturer or wholesaler ships the item to your customer themselves.
Create your auctions carefully
Most people rush creating the eBay auction which is a big mistake. Your auction is like the entrance of a grocery store. Would you enter one if it looks bad? The users have plenty of other auctions to choose from so you must make them click on yours.
Pay special attention to the title of your auction. It should clearly say what are you selling and outline the advantages in few short words. Don't try to trick people - just point the benefits of buying from your auction.
Invest few bucks in a book which teaches how to create good eBay auctions. If you don't want to pay, even just reading the eBay's online guides will help you a lot. Most people skip this step and make auctions with titles in all caps that just push people away.
Keep customers happy
One of the things that matters most on eBay is to get good feedback. How could you achieve that? Simple:
- by selling good products
- by providing good service
- by shipping quickly
- by providing friendly support
- by giving money back guarantee
It's really that simple. The service, the shipping, support and money back guarantee depend entirely on you. The only thing that you can't fully control is the quality of the products you sell - because you are not producing them. To ensure that you are selling good products, you will have to research your suppliers.
