Selling on Ebay - Make Money the Easy Way

Making money through eBay is a matter that is so easy, so transcendental, and so profitable that you can easily become hooked on the exciting auction site. From starting out as just a leisure activity, it turns into something that encourages the businessperson to make some extra money in a more sophisticated manner.

From a pin to a plane, if there is anything saleable or marketable, then the best option one can enjoy is to make an attempt at selling the thing on eBay. The transaction on eBay is extremely fast and easy. You can be sure you are buying from a reputable seller due to the system’s “scoring system”. This allows those selling on eBay to be rated by previous buyers they have dealt with directly.

The first step that is required to be an eBay seller and to make money is to get registered, which is an easy procedure, and can be done for absolutely free. The second step is of greater significance. The seller has to make a decision as to what he or she actually wants to sell. The third step is more serious, as this involves a genuine policy formulation regarding pricing, keeping in mind the general trends and nature of competition.

The things to be noticed by the seller are the other relevant overheads like shipment charges, auction charges, insurance (if any), and last but not least, the list the seller must keep on upgrading himself or herself by keeping track of the factual information regarding who is winning which auction.

Once the decision-making and policy formulation parts are over, the seller is required to compose writing with a vivid description containing all the necessary information regarding the product, product features, price and all the other details.

It is not fair to suppress any material fact regarding any defects in the product, if there are any. Nor should the seller write anything unreal about the product.

The other most salient part is that the seller should post his detailed writing about the product with a clear close-up photograph snapped from at least two distinct angles. This helps the seller to sell the product more easily and the bidders also get high-level satisfaction from bidding.

Drop shipping is a tool that all the dedicated eBay sellers use to give their businesses a better shape. This is also a means for customer care. A drop shipper is a licensed wholesale supplier who takes the overall responsibility to send the item to the customers’ threshold. Genuine drop shippers also facilitate their clients by packing the item and take every care to the fullest extent for the product.

The only duty on the part of the seller is to pay the wholesale price of the item. The profit is the difference amount between the retail price charged to the eBay customer and the wholesale price paid to the drop shipper.

The seller must find a reputable drop shipper in order to ensure their products are getting to the buyers without being damaged or lost.

I don’t think it matters where you are these days, if you mention the name ’ eBay ‘, there is someone there who has either bought an item on it, or who has sold something on it, eBay has become a household name around the world. I started buying and selling on ebay around 7 years ago. There are thousands of people living in the U.S. that make full time living’s selling item’s on eBay, and thousands more that buy items on it daily.

eBay was started by one man named ’ Pierre Omidyar ‘. When Pierre was 28 years old he started writing the programming code that was to become the internet site eBay. The site was launched online on Sep 4, 1995, ’ Labor Day ’ here in the U.S. At first it wasn’t called eBay, but was named ’ Auction Web ‘. Later it was changed to ’ ebay ’ , which was a short version of a consulting firm Pierre owned named ’ Echo Bay ‘. eBay was free at the start, then it started charging fees to help cover it’s internet costs for hosting and other charges. At the time, Pierre was dating a woman that collected PEZ toys, she used the new eBay site in its earliest incarnation to buy and sell rare dispensers. In 1996 Jeffrey Skoll, a Stanford MBA, joined the company and by 1998 eBay had gone public in the stock market, making Omidyar a billionaire. In 2005, Omidyar’s 214 million eBay shares were worth around $8 billion. In March 1998, Meg Whitman was brought in as President and CEO of eBay where she serves still today

Let’s start by going to the eBay site and joining. Just visit: www.ebay.com and you will be taken to the main page of the website. Once there look towards the top area of the screen and you will see text that says: ’ Hello! Sign in or register. ‘, using the mouse button, click on ’ register ‘. After clicking on ’ register ’ you will be taken to a screen with a form on it, enter the information about yourself, such as your name, address, telephone number and email address. Next you will be taken to another screen where you must choose a password and ebay user name, the eBay user-name is the ID or Name you will be known by to other ebay bidders and shoppers.

The password should be something that is not common, for instance do not use your first or last name, or some common word such as ’ pencil ‘, or ’ computer ‘, take your time and choose something difficult and a little long, make sure you write this password down and keep it near your computer in case you forget it. I recommend writing your ebay password on a yellow post-it note and hanging it someplace near your computer.

When your done with the username and password screen, you just have to check your email for the confirmation link that eBay sends you, just click on the link as shown in the email to activate your eBay account, now you have joined eBay, and you can start bidding and buying right away, but before you do let me tell you about the different features of eBay and how some things work.

eBay is not just an auction site, I mean you do not have to bid and wait for an auction to end, in order to purchase every item on eBay. In fact many items can be purchased for a set fee, and bought instantly, these are called ’ Buy Now ’ listings. For an example of how listings differ from each other, let’s look at some ebay items. Let’s say you and I are looking for a ’ singing fish ‘, the fish that look like their mounted and displayed on a piece of wood, when someone gets near it, it will start singing and move it’s mouth and tail, they are often called ’ big mouth billy bass ‘.

To see if eBay has any of the ’ singing fish ‘, we just go to the main ebay page (www.ebay.com) and in the ‘SEARCH’ area, type in: singing fish, and the screen shows there are currently 60 different items or listings found. I scroll down and select one of the listings, it currently shows the current bid price is $7.00 and it has had 4 bids, with 1 day and 13 hours remaining before the listing or auction ends. If I really wanted this item, and was willing to pay up to $15.00 for it, I would just click on ’ Place Bid ‘, and enter my ebay username and password, if requested to
