Here's how eBay can triple your sales and double your customer base
 

... well that's the sub title of an article published by Smart Business Magazine.

The article claims about one-fifth of eBay sellers account for 80 percent of transactions which means a lot of money is being earned considering eBay did $219 million dollars in transactions last year.

In the article they reveal their best strategies, and keys to making online auctions pay.

Here is the story

Excellent Article..I wonder
 

if this online auction is in it's infancy
and where it will eventually take us? It
seems many auctioneers did better than the
dot bombers...
what do you think?

The potential for success is big!...
I was just thinking if you research
the markets and then find an offline
business person who is to busy to do
ebay you could form a joint venture with
them...interesting! (they have the inventory
and you could take care of the auctions)

Hi Sandy,

> below retail, or buy items unique to your
> area - and sell it on eBay for a profit.
> After a while, you'll find out what sells
> well, and what doesn't....

> After trying it out and making some profits,
> once you want to go into it "big
> time", you can use a service like
> Auctionworks to automate everything for
> you. :)

> This is what some people do full time!

> 2. Buy stuff on eBay, and sell offline. If
> you know how to reach people interested in a
> very narrow "niche", you could
> possibly buy stuff of interest to these
> people, and sell it offline at a profit.

> 3. Buy at another online auction site, and
> sell on eBay! Auction sites with fewer
> visitors tends to mean that there will be
> fewer bidders.... That means that items can
> often sell at other auction sites for less
> than they do on eBay. So, you can buy there,
> and sell on eBay for a profit.

> 4. Buy products with resale rights on eBay,
> and sell the product outside of eBay. I'm
> amazed at the products with resale rights
> you can get on eBay - often for $5 or less!
> You can't get everything there like this -
> but there's quite a lot. Do a search on eBay
> for "resale rights" or
> "reprint rights" - make sure to
> include the quotes!

> After you've done one search, you'll see
> your search term in the left column, under
> "Basic Search".... From there, you
> can do a more thorough search, by also
> checking "in titles and
> descriptions" and searching again.

> Once you have a product with resale rights,
> you can sell it however you like - from your
> web site, in ezines, etc., or sell it on
> eBay too.

> 5. Buy businesses on eBay, fix them up, and
> then resell them. I haven't done this
> myself, but I've explored the idea.... I

Re: Now WHY is this?

The hands are very visible and it's a status
symbol for some to have beautiful nails...

In the african culture many of the "richer"
people in the tribe collect necklaces and the
more necklaces and adornment the more status
you have ....

I wonder if the "rich" have been told from
birth people will notice your shoes...

your question is an interesting one and raises
the issue: other than comfort and practicality
what is the significance of shoes?

I know Bob Barker(commentator for the "price
is right") is a vegan and does not wear leather
shoes...now I wonder what type of "expensive"
plastic he's wearing on his feet (smile)....

Why do they take
> care of their feet so well? They can dress
> like crap, but have the best shoes money can
> buy? Guess for some I can see, they want
> comfort, but others?? WHY?
