When starting a business on eBay, you must be prepared to forget all you know about traditional commerce, because they have little in common. Virtual commerce, especially the business done on eBay is totally different from the traditional stores, in which you hired a shop assistant and let him do the entire job.
The first main difference is that you are not restricted to a certain area. If a brick and mortar shop was dedicated to people living in a certain area, the eBay commerce is opened to the entire world, so you have to be prepared to respond to all your clients’ requirements, even if they are hundred meters or thousand kilometers away. Most of the times, this is a good thing, because more people get to see your merchandise and offer bigger prices for it. Yet, there are cultural differences, as well as differences in the time zone which can make this business quite hard.
Because in a real store the client takes the items he bought and it is responsible for the way he carries them home, you do not have to worry about packaging. Yet, when selling things on eBay you are dependent on the delivery companies, which most of the time do not care about what you have in those boxes. Instead of posting stickers saying that there is something fragile in the box, you should package the items so that they will not be affected by all the falls they will have to face. This can be quite hard sometimes, but if the item is broken on the way to the client, you will be the one to blame and not the delivery company.
The best thing about eBay is that you can do business any time of the day, from the comfort of your home. You do not have to worry about angry customers or undecided ones, which occupy all your time.
What is the same both in the real stores and on eBay is the respect with which you have to treat your customers. Just as you are kind with your clients in a brick and mortar shop, so should you be with the virtual clients. Answering their emails promptly and coherently is a sign of respect for your clients and it is a must for every successful business.
Doing business on eBay can be much more fun that selling things in a real store. You have a lot more clients and you can have much more profit if you treat your clients properly.

Get Positive Feedbacks on EBay to Attract More Customers
How many times have you wondered why other sellers have more visitors and clients on their eBay account than you do? If you think it is all about luck you are so wrong! If you want to have more customers you have to attract them with something.
There are a lot of scams all over the internet. This is why most people like to deal with sellers in which they can trust. Thus, the higher your rating is the more potential buyers you will attract. Some buyers even give a first look to what other customers said about you and only afterwards analyze what you have to offer.
In order to get positive feedback from your buyers you must firstly treat them with respect. If you are going to make a deal with someone, treat him like you are two business partners standing face to face and not two names which communicate over the internet. This will make your interlocutor more confident and will make him have a good opinion about you.
Also, be prompt in answering all the emails you receive. The more you keep your clients waiting, the less chances you will have to receive good ratings. If you are quick in answering mails and correct in the information you deliver your relationship with the buyer will improve significantly and when the deal is closed you can be sure he will write some nice words about you.
Also do not forget to be fast in delivering the items you sold and be prepared to offer post-sell consulting. If you have delivered the item and afterwards do not answer any of the emails sent by the buyer, it is clear that something is wrong with you and the buyer will say it in his rating.
Never underestimate the power feedbacks have on customers. In fact, if you want to have more visitors, and thus more potential buyers, you should do your best to keep your current clients satisfied, so that they post positive feedbacks and give you good ratings.

12 top tips to sell more on ebay
1) Systemize
You have to systemize as eBay can be a slow site to navigate around I use turbo lister 2 to create store and relist my auctions.
2) Misspell
People often misspell their searches when they want to look for your products. I use fat fingers to search for misspelled eBay items. So when you put in the incorrect spelling in your title you will rank high for people who search with the incorrect spelling.
3) Write titles that sell
By titles that sell I don’t mean having the word fantastic or wonderful in your title I mean if you have something unique with your product that will catch people’s attention use it in your title. If you sell a generic product, be sure to use all 55 characters provided to you by eBay and use words that people search for e.g. a particular brand.
4) Write killer descriptions
The buyer can’t feel, see, hear, taste or smell the product so describe the product fully and tell your potential buyer about the feelings you have when you use the product. Never stop writing unless there is nothing more to say and just because you think that people know what seems obvious information to you doesn’t mean they do, it never hurts to add more information. What if somebody is looking to buy a present and know nothing about the product those few lines could be the difference between a sale and no sale.
5) Provide a call to action
You often hear the term, call to action when talking to somebody about marketing, well that’s what attempting to sell your product is, marketing. You need to give people a reason to buy from you now. You want people to feel like they have to buy it now or they will miss out. The chances are if people don’t place a bid the first time they see your item they won’t be coming back. Use phrases like: while stocks last and bid now to get people to bid on your product now.
6) Have a unique selling point
Why should people buy from you?
To sell products
you need to have a unique selling point or USP for short. This is especially true when talking about an online business, why shouldn’t people simply go to a regular store instead of buying from you. Maybe there is something special about your product like it’s a limited edition, maybe you are going to offer something extra like free shipping or a superior service where you answer any questions within 2 hours or ship within 2 hours. Maybe your USP is that people can’t get your product anywhere else which leads me on to my next point.
7) Sell a niche product
A niche product is a product that sells to a very specific group for example:
-Baby
-Baby toys
-Rocking horses
-Hand crafted rocking horses (niche product)
The reason niche products sell so well online is that you often can’t get them in a regular store because when running a brick and mortar store you can only sell to those in a specific area near you and there may not be enough interest in hand crafted rocking horses in that area to justify a shop stocking them but when you can sell to the whole world online no market is too small for a new online business.
8) Say thank you
Always include a thank you with your shipped product, of course when saying thank you, be sure to advertise your eBay auctions and include a call to action like if you purchase again in a week you get free shipping on any order, make sure this call to action is within a short time frame otherwise it will be forgotten about.
9) Advertise using loss leaders
Loss leaders are products that you sell at a loss to draw people into your store. Big supermarkets often use them and advertise them to bring in hoards of people all looking to get a bargain only to buy the rest of the groceries. Although they are called loss leaders I never sell mine at a loss I always aim to break even after all costs. This method works best if you have your own eBay store which I highly recommend.
10) Have an eBay store
eBay stores are relatively inexpensive and come with some great benefits:
- reduced insertion fees
- send out newsletters
- more repeat business because you now have a brand that people will remember
- 75% of store owners say their sales increased as a result of eBay stores
- eBay will submit you to the major search engines
- you can promote your store like a website using search engine optimization
Get your eBay store now eBay stores
11) Up sell
If you are selling a low cost item include a link to you’re my world eBay page in the description and tell your potential customer to go to the product you want to sell more of and buy it. But you need to tell the potential customer why they need to buy it so because they are interested in a low cost item include it free with their large purchase. If you simply want them to buy in greater quantities then tell them how much they will save in shipping. This technique can increase your profits massively.
12) Loyal customers
The best way to earn loyal and returning customers is to make them happy. It's often said that the real profit is from the returning customers. Gain returning customers by including a thank you note with a promotional item you want to sell or even just a business card, if you sell a high profit item you might want to include a more useful item like a pen they can be bought very cheaply online.

How to Find a Dropshipper Wholesale Source Without Being Scammed
It's really easy for anyone looking around for a dropshipper wholesale source to get caught up in some elaborate online scam. These scammers are clever and once they have your money, there is often very little you can do to find them, never mind get your money back. So, before you waste your money or your valuable time, read on.
Researching online, you can find many dropshipper wholesale sources, all promising great items at rock bottom prices.
Here's How You Check Them Out
"If it looks too good to be true, then chances are it is!" - stick that someplace you will see everyday!
1) Any legitimate dropshipper wholesale company will have contact details on their site. Call the number and see who answers the phone. Is it answered in a business like manner or casually? Call the number several times, at different times of the day to see who answers. If it is answered outside of normal business hours by a child or grandma, it could be a scammer working out of their home rather than the business man you're thinking of doing business with.
2) On the same note, look at the physical address on their site and look it up in the yellow pages pertaining to their country - you can easily do this free of charge online. If the address isn't listed in the yellow pages, ask yourself why.
3) Further more, once you're satisfied that the physical address pans out and the phone number leads to a genuine business, then you really want to think about getting on a plane or getting in your car and going along to meet your contact at his business premises.
4) Also, does your dropshipper wholesale source accept safe methods of payment like credit cards, PayPal or are they using easy to set up and move on payment methods where you have no protection whatsoever?
Now, don't for one minute think that any of this is all OTT. If you're going to source your own leads, then there's a ton of work that you must do if you're not going to lose your money.
Researching online, you can find many dropshipper wholesale sources, all promising great items at rock bottom prices.
Here's How You Check Them Out
"If it looks too good to be true, then chances are it is!" - stick that someplace you will see everyday!
1) Any legitimate dropshipper wholesale company will have contact details on their site. Call the number and see who answers the phone. Is it answered in a business like manner or casually? Call the number several times, at different times of the day to see who answers. If it is answered outside of normal business hours by a child or grandma, it could be a scammer working out of their home rather than the business man you're thinking of doing business with.
2) On the same note, look at the physical address on their site and look it up in the yellow pages pertaining to their country - you can easily do this free of charge online. If the address isn't listed in the yellow pages, ask yourself why.
3) Further more, once you're satisfied that the physical address pans out and the phone number leads to a genuine business, then you really want to think about getting on a plane or getting in your car and going along to meet your contact at his business premises.

Single Moms, Learn How to Make Money on EBay
Being a single mom is hard, especially when your child is too small to be left all alone. You have to stay home and yet still find a way to provide the food, clothes, toys and all the other things a child needs. If you are in this situation you know better than anyone how difficult this can be. Here is something that may help you, if you read carefully.
A lot of single moms have taken their lives in their hands and started a business which gives the opportunity both to stay with their children and earn money for all their necessities. It may sound too good to be true, but starting a home based business on eBay really guarantees you both things.
Nowadays many mothers hate leaving their children with a baby sitter, because of the numerous cases in which the babies have been abused by the ones who were supposed to take care of them. Starting a business on eBay gives you the solution for making good money from the comfort of your house. Because you can list your products any time of the day and you have to talk with your customers only via internet, you will be able to both develop your business and keep an eye on your naughty children.
Another advantage you get if you choose eBay as your starting point is the fact that you get your profit instantaneously after you have sold a product. This is very convenient, as mothers have a lot of expenses and need to get money out of a business fast. When you are a mother you cannot afford to wait a year or so to get your profit.
In addition to this, investment is very low. If you have old toys, old furniture or clothes, precious books or something which can be considered valuable you should not throw it away, but rather try to sell it on eBay and make some money out of it.
It can be more difficult at the beginning, but in time you will be able to earn enough money so that you will not have to worry about your future or about our children’s. They will grow with their mom around; they will never be alone and will never miss one thing as long as you continue your business on eBay!
