You don’t need to know how to build a website and you don’t need to know how drive traffic to your site because eBay brings interested shoppers right to your door.

8

Before going to details, I would like to simply explain how eBay works for buyers.

Most of the buyers, when go to eBay to buy something, they do a simple search for the product they want to buy. Usually they don’t browse Different eBay categories nor they do advanced search. When they do their search and they find your listings, this will be the first step to make a sale. Let me assume that a buyer is going to buy a baby video monitor, how he will look for it.. Follow my snapshots

9

• Whenever you are going to list an item for sale, you have to target what buyers are looking for. This will include their search words [baby video monitor in this example], good price, good shipping price, excellent seller reputation. Now if the buyer is interested in your listing, he will either place a bid or buy your listing using Buy It Now.

10

Before going to details, Simply Compare offline and online selling. Assume you are going to sell a

digital camera

Verify your identity with your credit card information:Your card won't be charged unless you authorize eBay to use it to pay your seller fees, which are charged only when you list or sell items.

To ensure your card is accepted:1. Make sure your credit card number is correct. 2. Check your address - it must match the billing address on your monthly

statement. 3. Verify that your account has been activated. 4. Make sure your credit card or debit card account is in good standing.

Verifying your identity with your checking account information Your account information is used for identification purposes only. eBay deducts fees from your account only if you authorize eBay to use it to pay your seller fees.

To ensure your checking account goes on file:1. Make sure your routing number is correct. 2. Make sure your checking account number is correct. You’ll find your checking

account number on the bottom of your checks, usually before the symbol.

19

Select how you'll pay your seller fees

When becoming a seller, you need to select how you pay your eBay.com listing fees.

You can pay your seller fees using any of the following payment methods:1. PayPal (monthly and one-time payments) 2. Credit card (monthly and one-time payments) 3. Direct pay from your checking account (monthly and one-time payments)

Choose which payment methods you'll accept from buyers

For most listing categories, you need to offer at least one electronic payment or Internet merchant credit card option. This provides a fast and secure transaction for you and the buyer. When the buyer clicks the Buy it Now button in their email notification or item listing in My eBay, they can pay you immediately and the payment is processed through the processor you've chosen.

I personally prefer and recommend Paypal. Create Paypal account at www.paypal.com. Its very Important to create a premier account [not personal], so that you can accept payments. This is a very important step Before Listing an Item.

In this section of my ebook, I will be discussing how to technically list an item for selling on eBay.

There is 2 eBay selling formats: Auction format and Fixed price Format. Those will be discussed in details later.

I designed this ebook as a step by step Guide, starting from the very basic up to advanced selling. You can apply the basic steps, get familiar with eBay selling and then come back here for more advanced techniques.

During Listing your item, always try to do it while reading the explanation here. It will be more easy for you and More practical.

Let us don’t waste more time and Go for the listing.

28

A Good Picture is Much Better Than 10000’s Words:

Have a very Nice picture for the product you are going to sell.

Let us assume that we are going to sell this baby monitor. Always keep your pictures in high quality as this one.

Now lets go to the next page to see how you can list your item. Follow my snapshots…

29

After you log in to your eBay account, click sell.

30

31

Now the First step is to choose a Category, Let us Find

a Category For our Baby Monitor

• Always list your item in the right category. This will improve the search results.

32

• As you can see, lot of categories will appear. Choose the proper category for your listing.

• In this case we have chosen, baby safety health baby monitors.

33

Now you will be directed to listing your item page, we will discuss each section in details now

34

The title of your listing is the most important thing. This is how buyers will find your listing. Be very descriptive and think of what buyers are looking for. In this example I wrote the title “Bebe Sound Baby Monitor Prenatal heart Sounds”. Now if someone searches [bebe sound baby monitor] or [baby monitor] or [baby heart sounds] or [prenatal heart sounds monitor] he will find your listing. Imagine if you wrote in your title “Bebe Sound Baby Monitor”, how many buyers searching for your monitor, you have lost. The Bottom line: keep the title full of the words buyers are searching for.

35

Click to add pictures, then you choose basic and click browse to bring the picture from your computer.

36

37

• After Uploading your image, go ahead and write a description of your listing, as will be shown in the next page.

38

Write a clear description of the item you are selling

39

Modify your description with the tools available

40

Pick up the selling format [Auction or fixed price o]. Don’t forget to calculate your fees before setting your price [fees will be discussed in details in late chapters]. Fixed price format require certain feedback requirements which will be explained in other chapters.

41

Now set up your payment preferences. For all fixed price and store inventory formats, always check “require immediate payment when buyer uses buy it now”.

42

Set a shipping price and shipping service. You can always visit https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request?loc=en_US to have a shipping estimate based on the weight of your package

43

• Sales tax varies with each state. Also see the policy of your state for internet sales tax. Change your return policy depending on the type of item you are selling. For example, personalized items cannot be returned.

44

Before pressing continue, make sure that you have a look on insertion fees [there will be another final value fees which will be charged when your item sells]. You can then press continue.

• After pressing continue, you will be directed to listing upgrade page for extra fees. I don’t recommend it for the beginners. Just go to the bottom of the page to preview your listing and then list it.

45

Preview your listing just to make sure its Ok. And then List Your Item

46

To SummarizeHave a very nice picture of your item.Choose the proper category for your item.Choose a very descriptive title full of the words that buyers are searching for. This is how buyers will find your listing.Write a nice, attractive and good looking description of your item.Choose the right selling format.Calculate your eBay fees, paypal fees and shipping fees accurately.I recommend at this stage to start test driving selling on eBay. Pick up something used at your home and easy to ship like a nice handbag or even a book. Make a trip to the post office to see how it will cost to ship it flat rate. List your item and put a reasonable price. Even if not sold, at least you practiced.One of the most important things at this stage is to start building feedback through buying some items.Now let me take you to the next chapter to discuss in details different selling formats

47

• Before Going to the next Chapter, I have to let you now that I created A very nice Video course. This course is no hype, just basic information on how to make money instantly (and simply) on eBay. After watching these 34 videos, people will be able to make money on eBay IMMEDIATELY.

A typical auction-style listing works this wayThe seller offers one or more items and sets a starting price.

Buyers visit the listing and bid on the item during the online auction's duration.

When the auction-style listing ends, the high bidder or bidders buy the item from the seller for the high bid.

The auction-style format is flexible. When you use it, you will be given many options, including giving buyers an opportunity to buy at a fixed price (Buy It Now), selling multiple identical items, and setting a hidden minimum-selling price (reserve price.).Let’s go to the next page and take a screen shot of the listing page and choose the auction format.

51

Here is a screen shot of the Auction Format. The items are numbered and we will discuss each.

52

1. Starting price [refer to page 51]• The starting price is the lowest price you are willing to

sell your item for (unless you also specify a reserve price). Bidding will start at this price.

• Let us assume that you have a digital camera. The price you want is 100 dollars. You can put a starting price for your auction of 49.99 for example.

• When buyers see your listing and find that they are buying a 100 dollar value for 49.99, they will start placing bids. The price will rise for each bid placed by buyers.

• The risk comes when your item is not popular and will not receive much bids. In this case I recommend using a reserve price. [ will be discussed in the next few pages]

53

• However if you are selling a popular item, mostly you will get the price you want..

• Some professional sellers, who are selling very common and high selling products, put a starting price of 1 dollar or even 99 cents although the price they want for this product can be hundreds of dollars.

• They depend on the fact that their products are hot sellers and that they sure will get a lot of bids.

• Sellers have found that setting the starting price too high may discourage bidding. Some Sellers often use reserve pricing to ensure they sell the item at the amount they want.

54

2. Buy it now price for an auction format listing [refer to page 51]• Let us take the same 100 dollars camera as an example. You put

the starting price 49.99.

• Some buyers might find that bidding may let them wait for the whole duration of the auction [ can be from 1 – 10 days] and they want to buy the camera immediately.

• When you put the Buy It Now price, always put it slightly higher than the actual price you want from the camera.

• In this example, I will put it 104 dollars …Why?? When bidders see your buy it now price, they will get a rough estimate that your camera falls within this range. They will start placing their bids with their mind set that the actual price of this camera is 104. They will be thinking that even If they placed their bids and take it for 102 dollars, they have got a good deal.

• Also if someone buy it for buy it now price [104 dollars], you already made more profit.

55

3. Reserve price for an auction format listing [refer to page 50]

A reserve price is the lowest price at which you’re willing to sell your item. If you don’t want to sell your item below a certain price, you can a set a reserve price.

The amount of your reserve price isn’t shown to your bidders, but they will see that your auction has a reserve price that has not been met. If a bidder doesn’t meet that price, you aren’t obliged to sell your item.

  Why have a reserve price? Many sellers have found that too high a starting price discourages interest in their item, while an attractively low starting price makes them vulnerable to selling at an unsatisfactorily low price. A reserve price helps with this.

Let us take the same 100 dollars camera as an example. You put the starting price 9.99. If you received 1 bid only through the whole auction duration, you are obliged to sell with this unsatisfactory price. However if you put a reserve price of 100, your listing will show to the bidders that reserve price is not met. And they will keep bidding until your reserve price is met.

All Reserve Price Auctions are subject to a Reserve Price Auction Fee.

You may lower your reserve price after you receive bids on the item.

56

4. Quantity [refer to page 50]Quantity means how many items of the same product you are going to sell. As a beginner, I recommend that you sell a quantity of one for the product…why???

Let me explain: you have 2 sony digital cameras. If you are going to sell the 2 cameras in 2 different auctions, you will put a quantity of one and you set the starting price as 49.99.

if 2 buyers are interested in the cameras, the first one will place a bid for 49.99, the second buyer will have to place a higher bid 50.99 to win the camera and so on with more buyers.

57

If you decide to put the 2 cameras in one auction, you will put a quantity of two in your listing and you set the starting price as 49.99.. If 2 buyers saw your listing and decide to bid, the first buyer will put a bid of 49.99 and the second buyer will put the same bid 49.99 for the second camera.

The risk here for multiple quantity auctions is that you will need more buyers to sell your items and to get the bidding price higher.

This might not happen during the duration of the auction.

The bottom line: if you have a high selling product, and you are expecting a lot of interested buyers, you can sell multiple quantities of it in the same auction listing. If not, I would prefer one auction for one quantity.

58

5. Duration [refer to page 51]

Duration of your auction can be 1, 3, 5, 7, 0r 10 days [You pay extra fees for 10 days auction].

The most commonly used duration is 7 days.

You can use less duration, if you want to sell your item faster. The problem with small durations is that you might get less number of buyers. However, with small durations you will get higher ranking in the search.

Now let us go for some tips For Auction format.

59

Tips for auction format Listings

• Tip# 1: Whenever you decide to start an auction for an item, the first thing you should do is to look up its value on eBay. Let us take “BebeSounds Video Monitor” as an example. Go to ebay.com and follow my snapshots

60

61

• Tip# 2: Be sure to close your auction at a time when people get home from work. Auctions closing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday do better, and those closing in the evening do Much better.

• Tip# 3: Start with a low starting price [0.99]. Most buyers when searching eBay sort the search results by the number of bids. This usually brings the auctions with more bids to the top and lets most of the others sink to the bottom of the list. A low starting bid gets the bidding war started and can have a dramatic effect on the bid count column. However, It’s also not true that a 0.99 starting price is always the best policy. This is only true if your item has a lot of demand.

• Tip# 4: You can run a ten day auction, starting on Thursday evening. That means your item is up for two weekends rather than just one, it finishes on a Sunday night.

• Tip# 5: A lot of bids come in during the last 2 or 3 hours you list an item. Thus, the logical close time is the one that happens when your target buyer is at his or her computer. For example, If your listing targets college students, make sure it ends around 9PM.

• Tip# 6: Always write accurate descriptions of your listings. You want every buyer to get exactly what they expect when they made that bid

• Tip# 7:Avoid auctions around big holidays where people mostly travel, like Christmas and memorial day.

62

63

A typical Fixed price listing works this way. • Buyers can purchase your item immediately at

the price you set, but they cannot bid on your item.

• Make sure you meet the requirements for selling at a fixed price: To sell an item at a fixed price, you must meet certain feedback requirements and be selling the item for at least $1.00.

• Create the listing: When you reach the Choose how you’d like to sell your item section, select the Fixed Price tab and enter the Buy It Now price.

• If you don’t see the Fixed Price tab, this means that you don’t meet the requirements for selling at a fixed price.

64

Here is a screen shot of the Fixed Price Format. The items are numbered and we will discuss each.

65

Select the Fixed Price tab [see p.64]. If you don’t see the Fixed Price tab, this means that you don’t meet the requirements for selling at a fixed price. Here are the requirements:

66

1. Buy it now price [see p.64]: put the price you want to sell your item for. There will be no bidding on your item.

2. Best Offer: [see p. 64]: you can allow buyers to place an offer on your item. This attract more buyers to your listing. When you receive the offer, you can accept it or decline it. The offer price will be lower than the buy it now price.

3. Quantity: [see p. 64]: put the available quantity of your item.

4. Duration: [see p. 64]: put the duration of your listing. I prefer good til canceled which will renew your listing automatically every 30 days. This is very practical when you have a big quantity of the same item.

67

How to increase visitors to your fixed price listings

• If you are selling an item with a fixed price, as part of the listing process you can choose the Best Offer option. With Best Offer, you give buyers a chance to negotiate with you on price. This will dramatically increase the number of buyers visiting your listing.

• How to add Best Offer to your listing. Look to this snappshot.

68

Now, assume that a buyer is searching for this item as an example “ Airplane Luggage Tag”. Let us see what the search will bring:

• Buyers will be attracted to seller with the higher price because he is offering a best offer on his listing. The buyer will think that he can make an offer and get a cheaper deal. The buyer can make an offer of 135 and can get a better deal on the same item. Whenever you get an offer from a buyer, this means that you have an interested shopper in your item. So manage this offer carefully so that you don’t lose a potential buyer.

69

So how the buyer will place an offer on your listing and how you are going to deal with this?? First of all the buyer will open your listing and will click make an offer.

• In the next step the buyer will put the price of his offer and the quantity he wants.

70

71

You will then receive a notification email of a best offer. Click review and respond.

72

73

• Accept the offer if you are still making a profit with the offer price. In this example, my buy it now was 142.99 and my profit with this price is 15 dollars. The buyer offered 137 which is 6 dollars less but I am still making a 9 dollars profit, so I am going to accept this offer.

• Decline the offer if the offer price is way below the buy it now price. For example the buyer made an offer of 75 dollars and your buy it now is 142.99. Usually those buyers are not willing to buy.

• Make a counteroffer if the buyer offer price is too close to your profit price. For example, if the buyer made an offer of 120 dollars. You can then make a counter offer of 135. If the buyer accepts your counter offer, you have made a 7 dollars profit. The buyer in this case feels that he got a price better than the buy it now price [142.99] and at the same time you did not lose a potential buyer.

74

Note that you can access all the offers on your items through My eBay also.

• The bottom line, always include a best offer icon with all your fixed price listings. This will significantly increase the number of potential buyers visiting your listing.

The real money isn't in the auction or fixed format, it is in the store

For a monthly fee, you can build and promote your own store, complete with all the tools you could possibly need to make money like promotion boxes, custom pages, email marketing and more.

The auction and fixed price format listings are only a part of your sales strategy, and they will help you market your store.

The goal is to use these listings to help bring traffic to your store which should have tons of other products for people to purchase. These products should be categorized properly on your ebay store. In addition, use other channels to get traffic to your store, and don't rely just on item listings. Market your store in google and yahoo, use business cards and promotional flyers.

for listings that you did not assign to a Store category. .

3. Whenever you create a new listing, you'll be able to assign it to one of your Store categories.

4. A category will not appear in your Store if there are no listings in it.

5. You can move listings from one category to another.

6. Listings that you created before you opened your Store automatically appear in the "Other items" Store category, but you can edit those listings to change your category selection.

91

Tips for setting up Store categories

1. Think like a buyer. Create a set of categories that help buyers quickly find the types of items that you have to offer without overwhelming them.

2. Be sure that you have enough listings to make each category meaningful to a buyer. If you only have a few listings in each category, you probably have too many categories and might be creating a poor buying experience.

3. List your items in two categories - a main Store category and a secondary Store category. There is no charge for listing in two Store categories.

4. Consider creating special categories that attract buyers' attention, such as "50% Off" or "Featured Items".

92

How to assign a listing to a store category

• During listing an item [refer to P. 32, 33], you can pick up a store category from the drop down menu, which will display all your store categories.

Custom pages are a set of unique pages that you can create for your Store to serve a variety purposes: showcase items and specials, Give valuable information to buyers, and so forth. Let me give you an example…My store sells wedding favors. I created 5 custom pages one about “Caring for your Dream Dress”, another one about “tips for successful relationship” and so on. Those pages are relevant to my wedding store. Now How we create a custom page?

95

96

106

107

Ebay Store Subscription Fees These fees are monthly and are different from ebay insertion

and final value fees [they will be discussed later]. If you are planning to sell few items, just start with the basic store.

108

I think by now, you are ready to have an ebay store with confidence.

Now its time to list your items.

But before listing an item, you have to get an idea of all the fees associated with selling on ebay.

Let us go to the next chapter.

Click Here to access My Video Course

109

110

For any Selling format on ebay, there are 4 kinds of fees:

1. Insertion Fees [ when you list your item].

2. Final Value Fees [if your item sells].

3. Paypal Fees [when you receive payment from your buyer].

4. Listing Upgrade Fees [ If you want to add more options. I rarely use listing upgrades].

• Starting on April 2010, all ebay insertion and final value fees will depend on whether

you have an ebay store or not.

111

112

Auction Format Fees in case you have not subscribed to an ebay store

113

• As you can see in the previous table, there will be NO Insertion Fees for Auction-style listings when you list your item with a start price under $1—up to 100 listings per month.

• For items from $1- $9.99, you will pay 25 cents insertion fee and so on according to the previous table.

• One easy Final Value Fee of 9% of the winning bid—and never more than $50—regardless of your start price or final selling price.

114

Now let us have an example

• If you look to the table in the previous page, the insertion fees for this starting price is $0.25. If you are going to list your item without any listing upgrades [like an extra picture], your insertion fees will be $0.25 only.

115

Now let us have another example

• Fees for this starting price [as in page 109] is $0.75. Fees for reserve price [as in above table] is $2.00. Total insertion fees for this listing is 0.75+2=$2.75

116

Now you listed your item and paid your insertion fees. If your item is not sold, you don’t pay any thing else. If your item is sold, you will pay a final value fees.

Look to the table in page 109, If for example, your item sells for 100 dollars, you will pay 9% final value fees which in this case will be 9 dollars.

If your item sells for 600 dollars: 9% of 600 dollars is 54 dollars. But since the maximum should be 50 dollars, you will only pay 50. To summarize if the 9% of the final selling price exceeds 50 dollars, you will only pay 50 dollars final value fee.

117

Fixed Format Fees in case you have not subscribed to an ebay store

• Insertion fees for fixed price listings without subscription to an ebay store is 50 cents.

• If your item sells, final value fees will be the same as store subscribers [see later]

118

Now your customer is going to pay you using paypal. You have to pay paypal fees. [Note: paypal fees is applied to the total money you will receive from the buyer [selling price and shipping price] while final value fees applies to the selling price only.

• Assume that the total price of your item including shipping is 120 dollars. You pay 0.30 constant rate plus 2.9% of the 120 dollars. Total is 0.30 + 3.48 = 3.78.

119

Let us have an exercise

• You do not have an ebay store and You decided to sell a camcorder on eBay. You listed the camcorder as an auction format. The starting price was 75 dollars. Shipping for this item is 10 dollars. Your auction ends and your item was sold for 700 dollars. Your buyer paid you through paypal. Calculate all the fees associated with this transaction.

Please refer to fees tables in the previous pages

• Insertion Fees: Fees for the starting price [75] is $1.00. Total insertion fees = $1

• Final value fees is 9% of $700 = $ 63, but as I told you before that maximum final value fees is 50 dollars. Total final value fees will be $50.

• Paypal fees for $710 [$700 Selling price +10 Shipping]= $20.89.• Total fees associated with this transaction is:

1+50+20.89 = $71.89

120

121

Auction Format Fees in case you are subscribed to an ebay store

122

• As you can see in the previous page, for all store subscribers pictures up to 12 for your auctions are free.

• The insertion fees depend on your starting price. For example if your staring price is 99 dollars, your insertion fees will be $1 as shown in the previous page and so on.

• If your item is not sold, you will pay nothing. If you your items sells you will pay a final value fee. For example, if your item sells for 100 dollars, you will pay 8.75% of the initial $50.00, [$4.375] plus 4.0% of the remaining $50.00 [$4]. A total of 4.375 + 4 = 8.375 [look to the table in the previous page].

123

Fixed Format Fees in case you are subscribed to an ebay store

•Insertion fees for store subscribers depends on your ebay store subscription [basic, anchor or premium]. If you have a basic store, your insertion fees will be 20 cents. If you have an anchor store, your insertion fees for your fixed listings will be 3 cents.

Note that for all store subscribers, you can add up to 12 pictures for free.

124

Final value fees depends on which ebay

category you are listing your fixed price listing.

125

Let us have an exercise

• You have an ebay basic store and You decided to sell a laptop on eBay. You listed the laptop as fixed format. The Buy it now price was 700dollars. Shipping for this item is 10 dollars. Your item was sold for 700 dollars. Your buyer paid you through paypal. Calculate all the fees associated with this transaction.

Please refer to fees tables in the previous 2 pages

• Insertion Fees: Fees for the buy it now price [$700] is 20cents [ because you have a basic store]. Total insertion fees = 20 cents.

• This laptop falls in the ebay category of computers and electronics. Final value fees as shown in the previous table is 5% of $700 = $ 35. Total final value fees will be $35.

• Paypal fees for $710 [$700 Selling price +10 Shipping]= $20.89.• Total fees associated with this transaction is:

0.20+35+20.89 = $56.09

126

To summarize

• You have got an idea about auction format.• You have got an idea about fixed format.• I taught you how to build your ebay store.• I taught you how to calculate your ebay fees.• I taught you how to list a product for sale.• I think it’s the time now to list your items.• This morning , you have got this email from ebay

“Congratulations! Your item just sold. You agreed to ship this item to the buyer within 3 business days after receiving cleared payment. You can send an invoice to the buyer as a reminder to pay for this item.”

• What you are going to do. Let us jump to the next chapter….

127

128

First of all you need to customize your “ My eBay” page in order to display the most important information you want. Please go now to my eBay and follow my snap shots.

129

Now after you set your general settings to Summary, everytime you go to my eBay, you will be directed to this summary page

130

Now its time to adjust your notification prefernces to receive notification of sales.. How??

131

• Please Set your notification preferences before listing your items.

132

One of the good things about this notification emails is that you can manage your sales through them. After you receive the email, you can just click send invoice. After the buyer receives his invoice, he will pay and then you can ship his product.

133

How to manage your sales? Please go to my eBay and follow my snapshots below. Since you adjusted your general settings to summary [page 86], everytime you go to my eBay, you will be directed to this page.

134

135

Now you sent the buyer an invoice. You will be waiting for payment of this item. If your buyer pays, you will receive an email notification of payment from paypal. This how your mail box will look like when you receive payment notifications.

136

When you open payment notification emails, this is how they will look like from inside

137

Once you received your payment notifications, Go back to my eBay to manage this sale

When you click “ Ship 1 Item”, you will be directed to the sold item which is already paid by the buyer. You can then view order details and see the shipping address. Lets go to the next page and view this snapshot:

138

Now you will be directed to the order details page. In this page you will be able to see the item sold, the quantity sold, selling price, buyer shipping address and you can print a shipping label.

139

Always confirm the shipping address in this page with the buyer’s address you receive it on the paypal notification email [see page 94]. This is very important. If you find them different, please contact the buyer before shipping to confirm the shipping address.

140

When you click mark your item shipped, the item will disappear from the items list that prompts you to ship your product. Now you need to leave a feedback for your buyer. First of all, what is Feedback??

141

What is Feedback??

Whenever you buy or sell something, eBay asks that you leave Feedback about the transaction that reflects your experience with the buyer or seller. At the same time, your trading partner is asked to leave Feedback about you as well.

Over time, members of the eBay community develop a Feedback Profile, or reputation, based on the comments and ratings left by other members.

The Feedback Score is one of the most important pieces of a Feedback Profile. It’s the number in parentheses next to a member’s user ID and it’s also located at the top of the member’s Feedback Profile.

142

How can you see your feedback??

143

How can you leave a feedback to your Buyer??

144

Make sure before you leave a feedback for an item that this item has been paid for by the buyer. When you go to this page, you will find many of your sold items. Pick the ones which are paid for and leave your feedback.

145

If you are planning to quit your job and make a full time living on eBay then you have to look after your reputation and feedback on eBay. Your eBay "Feedback Rating" is the most important thing. Through a positive feedback, you will become a powerseller, the search standard for your listings will be raised always, and the customers will trust you.

“Your Feedback is your Payback”

Before you think of yourself as a seller, think as a buyer for a minute. If you are shopping on eBay for a digital camera and you find 2 sellers selling it, one has a feedback rating of 96% and the other 100%. Whom you are going to buy from. I think you answered the question. The one with 100% for sure.

If you unfortunately get a single negative feedback, this will affect your sales for sometime markedly. Imagine Multiple negative feedback comments. Sometimes neutral feedback comments will affect your sales even. Try to communicate with your buyer about a negative feedback. Solve his problem and you can send a request through eBay to the buyer to remove this feedback. The best thing is to avoid having a negative feedback

How to keep your reputation and feedback positive

146

One important thing before you start your business, is to always make sure that you are ready to take care of it. Having a positive feedback from your customers is Not a hard Job and it starts even before the sale is done:

1. Always answer the questions of potential buyers rapidly and

perfectly. 2. Communication before a sale builds a trust with your customers. 3. When a sale is done, try to send an email thanking the buyer for

his purchase. 4. Always keep your eBay listing description and pictures very

informative and accurate. 5. Ship your product fast. 6. Always send a tracking number of your package. 7. If your buyer complains about the product he bought, always be

ready to refund [think of yourself as Walmart, returns are easy].

The higher your Positive feedback, the more you will sell: Having a large number of positive feedback comments not only creates more sales, but it allows you to raise your price. Also your feedback will affect the search standing of your listing on eBay and may help to qualify you for powerseller discounts.

147

I think at this stage of learning, You can:

1. Register for eBay and paypal.

2. List an item for Sale in auction or Fixed Format.

3. Manage your sale.

4. Leave Feedback for your Buyer.

148

149

I personally prefer to pay with my credit card [I will tell you why later on !!]. After you click pay with your credit card, you will be directed to the next page.

150

151

152

1. At this stage, I think you have enough knowledge to sell on ebay using auction and fixed price format.

2. Start building a feedback over eBay through buying your needed items on eBay. This will help you to meet the requirements for fixed price format. Buyers are usually not interested to know whether your feedback is from buyers or sellers. They are interested in sellers with 100% Feedback.

3. Every time you buy something on eBay, always contact the seller to leave you a positive feedback. Each feedback you receive will help to grow your business for sure.

4. Start selling used items around your house.

5. Look for garage sales. Buy valuable items at low price. Those who are selling on garage sales are exposing items to the neighbors [few]. They are not expecting much. When you buy valuable items at low price and sell it on eBay, you are exposing these items to the 50 states not to the neighborhood.

6. Start looking for wholesalers, buy items in wholesale and sell it individually on eBay. The next chapter will be about how to find wholesalers and dropshippers.

153

154

How to find products for selling on ebay ??

This is a very important question that needs a lot of research to answer it.

You are one of 2 persons, either someone who owns his products and want to start selling on eBay so you can go ahead and start selling on ebay or someone who is just entering the world of ebay.

I here assume that you are the second person, so how you are going to find products and sell it on ebay.

If you have good budget, you need to have products at wholesale prices to buy it and then list it on ebay for selling.

But if you don't have enough money to start, what you are going to do?? Have you heard about dropshipping on ebay. This what most ebay PowerSellers use. [PowerSellers rank among the most successful sellers on eBay in terms of sales and customer satisfaction]

155

Always Find the real wholesalers. There is a big difference between a wholesaler and middlemen. Believe it or not, having a business and reseller's license is your key to acquire cheap wholesale products at rock-bottom prices. Manufacturers often only give truly wholesale prices to other businesses.

Find an adequate place for storing your products.

Have a nice place with adequate light to picture your products.

If you decided to buy wholesale and sell as a retailer, you should be aware of the following:

156

If you are going to sell a lot of products over ebay, try to have a daily UPS pickup. This will facilitate the whole process of shipping.

Always have shipping boxes and shipping supplies [tape, bubble wrap ,..etc] ready and available.

Always have a tracking number of your packages. I usually don’t send a tracking number to my customers [to save time], but when some customers ask about them, I am always ready.

With online product supplier directories, getting the best suppliers for cheap wholesale products is now easier than ever. Not only do they have a huge product catalog, they also list supplier companies by the thousands. The best directories take great effort to ensure that their listing includes only genuine, reliable, and quality suppliers.

What is dropshipping ?

Dropshipping is a system where a wholesaler receives customer orders and shipment details from sellers. The ordered items are then shipped by the wholesaler to the customer. This means that the goods are not stocked by the seller. The retailer is charged by the wholesaler. The retailers profit is the difference between the wholesale and retail price. In simple words:

A dropshipper is a wholesale company that will ship one product at a time directly to your customer.

You don't pay up front for inventory. In fact, you don't pay for a product unless it sells.

You don't stock or ship merchandise. It's all done for you by the dropshipping company.

158

You simply list a product For selling on eBay. You get the item details and pictures from the dropshipper website. If your item sells, you go back to the dropshipping company website.

You pay the dropshipping company for this product and they will ship the product to your customer under your name!

You pay the cost of the product and keep all the profit for yourself!

If the item costs you $15 and you sell it for $25, you've made 10 Dollars Profit.

You can do this for thousands of products and imagine the profit you can make.

Now take a look on this simple chart to understand dropshipping in details.

159

160

Advantages Of DropshippingLower Overhead: The costs that go into warehousing and dropshipping individual items can be tremendous. It doesn't become efficient to do so, until you do it on a large enough scale.“

No Inventory Investments: You don't pay the dropshipping company for an order until your customer pays you. You can easily test new products by listing them on ebay without any need to buy them in advance. If your product sells, you will then pay the dropship company to ship to your customer. If it does not sell, you have no product in your hand. You just lost ebay insertion fees

Recovered Time: The time you spent receiving and organizing inventory, printing labels, and packing and shipping orders is time you can now spend promoting your items on ebay and giving excellent customer service.

No Order Minimums: Your wholesale orders are based on your customers' orders. You can order as many or few items as you need. Excellent dropshipping companies will not charge a dropship fees for small orders.

161

Broader Product Selection: You can carry items in your product line-up that would be difficult to physically stock. You're also able to offer large items, such as furniture, without the hassle of trying to ship each piece.

Easier listing over eBay: Dropshipping companies websites are always loaded with professional pictures and descriptions of their products. This will help you to list items easier and faster on eBay.

Build your Name and reputation: Some dropshipping companies will ship your packages with labels from your company name. Your eBay store name can be put on all the packages dropshipped to your customers

Here is a screen shot from an excellent dropship company explaining their services:

162

Disadvantages of DropshippingWholesale is a volume business — the more you buy, the better your price-per-piece. You're not receiving additional discounts for buying bulk, so your per-item-costs are naturally higher.

Some companies will charge you a dropshipping fee, either per container or per unique shipping location, to cover the extra labor and material costs the dropshipping company incurs.

Occasional Delivery Issues: If your dropshipping company is slow filling your orders, or does a poor job packaging them, it reflects badly on you and costs you repeat business. When using a new supplier, it's always a good idea to test them out first and get an idea of what your customers will experience. Place an order with them yourself, and see how quickly and competently they handle it.

Dropshipping companies are fulfilling the orders of a lot of sellers: Sometimes when you sell an item and you come back to order it, you will find it out of stock. This might carry the risk of unsatisfied customer. If this happens to you, try to handle it with your customer very fast. I always write in all my ebay listings the following sentence ”In rare occasions, we are out of stock of some items but the items are not yet removed from our ebay store. If this happens and you have already paid for the item, your money will be refunded in full immediately.”

I promised you, when you bought this book to show you how I personally run my eBay business.I completely use dropshipping companies.I never buy wholesale products, store them nor picture them.With dropshipping, I don’t have to picture my products or write a description for them even. Everything is found on the website of my dropshipping company.I always investigate products before I decide to sell them. I go to eBay and do search for this products and see how other sellers are pricing and selling them.Let me take one of my favorite dropshipping companies as an example www.katesapen.com .They are specialized in selling wedding favors.

171

When you go to www.kateaspen.com , click on retailers at the bottom of the left hand side of the page to sign up as a retailer for them. Applications are reviewed within 48 hours.. If you are accepted, You will then receive an email from them which you will use to access the retailers pricing and product information. Simply follow my snapshots:

172

Now after you have been approved, you can log into your account and view products and pricing. I will pick up a product and show you one way to sell this product.

173

174

I want you now to go back to the chapter of listing an item for sale. Follow my tips during listing this item

175

I am planning to sell 100 pieces of these favors in one listing as a wholesale lot.

1. Title: The title on kateaspen website is written like this “Lucky Elephant

Antique Ivory Finish Tea Light Holder”. 2 things you should take care of , First: total number of characters

in this title is beyond ebay maximum number of characters for title. This means that you should reduce the characters in this title. Second: People are not searching for lucky elephant, they are searching for wedding favors or favors. They may be also searching for tea light holder.

My point of view is that you just don’t go and copy and paste the title but you must Modify it in way to match what people are searching for.

My suggestion for eBay title for this product is “Wedding Favors 100 Elephant Ivory Tea Light Holder”.

Now if an eBay customer is searching for “wedding favors”, he will find my listing. If he searches any combination of the words on my title, he will find my listing. For example, Favors, wedding tea light holder, elephant tea light holder favors. Any combination of words included in the title, will show my listing in the search results.

176

2. Image: download the image to your computer and then upload it to your listing.

3. Description: Copy and paste the description to your listing and modify as I showed you before to make it looking nice.

4. Price: The price in kateaspen website is 1.45/piece provided that you will

be buying 96 or more. As I told you that I am going to sell 100 pieces. The price that I am going to pay is 145 dollars for 100 pieces.

Don’t put 145 dollars on your eBay listing. You have to add your profit and your eBay [insertion and final value fees] and paypal fees. You can refer to my explanation for fees calculation or you can use my simple method which is always successful if the price of your item ranges from [10 – 1000 dollars]

What I do is that I add my profit to kateaspen price.. let me say 15 dollars.. Total now will be 145 + 15 =160.

To cover my ebay and paypal fees, I always add 20% to this total price. So, 20% of 160 will be 32 dollars.. i add those 32 dollars to the 160 which will give me 192 dollars.. those 192 dollars will be my ebay Buy it Now price.

177

5. Weight: As shown in the product page, one piece unit weight is 0.33 pounds.

Weight for 100 is 33 pounds. Actually kateaspen don’t show shipping charges. They calculate it

based on ups ground rates. So you need to have an idea about these rates before listing your item.

How to put average shipping price that will work for all states based on the weight of your package??. Please go to this link http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/cost/zones/daily_rates.html

After you open this link you will be directed to this page

178

When I open this excel file, I will find different shipping zones. I choose “zone 7” rates in front of the weight of my package [33 lbs] and I add 5 dollars to zone 7 rates to cover for tracking charges. This method is not very accurate and might give you higher shipping charges for some states and lower charges for some other states. I mean you can make some money with shipping charges in some states and lose some money with other states which will make them even at the end

179

The previous method will give you rough estimate for shipping charges but its nice for quick start up.

Let me clarify more.. With my method, I calculated shipping to be 28.04. Kateaspen ships from Georgia. If a customer buys from New jersey, actual shipping price will be 22 dollars [ I made 6 dollars more]. If another customer bought from Caifornia, Actual shipping will be 34 dollars [ I lost 6 dollars]. It usually works this way and it works good.

Now you go ahead and put the shipping price on your listing and list your item.

180

This is how your listing will look like

181

Now your item sells. Its time to place your order with the dropshipping company. You go back to the product page again and place your order with your customer shipping address.

182

183

Kateaspen usually takes 24 hours to process your order. Just go back and click my orders to check the status of your order, if it is shipped or not. Follow my snapshots.

184

All your orders will be displayed. You can check which orders are shipped and which are still processing. For those shipped orders, you can get the tracking number and email it to your customer.

185

Now I showed you how I personally run my business. You may not like selling wedding favors but I gave you the names of 27 of the best wholesale and dropshipping companies.You may not like dropshipping but you can go ahead and buy wholesale and then sell on eBay.I think what I showed you in this chapter is so easy that you can start a successful ebay dropshipping business.I showed you an example for one product from one dropshipping company. Imagine if you fill your ebay store with thousands of products from different dropshippers. The sky is your limit.I gave you shortcut to 2 of the most important directories where you can find more and different products to sell. You don’t have to search for other directories and get scammed.Now its time to apply what I have taught you. The most important part about learning is to apply what you learned. I personally love eBay so much because it helped me a lot and I am sure it will change your future too. The best thing about dropshipping on eBay is that you don’t need lot of money to start except selling fees. If you have a budget of only 100 dollars you can easily run a successful eBay dropshipping business.

186

Very nice tip if you decided to run a dropshipping business

• Go back to your paypal account and apply for a paypal debit card. Use this debit card to buy all your dropshipping items and to pay your selling fees also. You will get 1.5% cash back bonus to your paypal account for every purchase [ imagine if you buy 50,000 worth of dropshipping products every month. This will give you 750 dollars back to your paypal account while just doing a routine work.]

• The nice thing about this also is that it simplifies running your business. You get paid to your paypal account from your buyers, and you buy your dropshipping products and you pay your selling fees using your paypal debit card. This means that all your business income came to your paypal account and all your expenses go out from your paypal account and what is left is your profit. This is a very easy business model.

187

What is eBay classified ads?

• Classified Ads is a form of advertising products on eBay which connect interested buyers to sellers, who then complete the sale outside of eBay.

• Let me simplify. If you know a website that sells certain products and for every sale of this product on this website, you are paid a certain commission. If you run an eBay classified ad for this website and there is sale which is done through your referral , you will be paid a commission for this referral.

• Let me give you an example. I know a website that sells a weight loss program. This site gives you a commission of 38 dollars for every sale you bring. I will run an eBay classified ad to promote this website so that I will paid 38 dollars for every sale that is referred by me.

• Let me take you to 2 screen shots of an eBay classifies ad I am using to promote a weight loss program before I go further with the details.
