Beginners Make Money on eBay - Two Keys to Your Success

By Max Suther

If you are new to selling on eBay don’t worry. There are plenty of tutorials and eBooks on how to sell on eBay. I have been selling on eBay since 1997 and there are two keys to my success.

Key One - You must find a reliable supplier of product or become your own supplier. If you are like me you don’t have time to make your own products to sell. I started selling baseball cards on eBay and then moved to information products and children’s bedding. I realized early on that I didn’t have enough baseball cards and junk around the house to keep selling. I then began to look long and hard for a reliable source of products. I did endless searches on the internet looking for wholesalers and drop shippers. Unfortunately the internet is full of people and companies that call themselves wholesalers. It took several months before I found true wholesalers who could give me the lowest priced products and a reliable supply. The first key to your success is to find a reliable wholesaler of products.

Key Two – Focus on selling products not inventory and shipping. Most people who are new to eBay don’t understand how much time you spend in listing the items, answering customer questions, inventory issues and shipping the product. It didn’t take long for me to understand that I can’t focus on selling products if I have to inventory product and ship it. It is better to find companies that will take care of the shipping and inventory for you. These companies are called drop shippers. These companies will allow you to sell their items for the price you desire and then they will ship the product to your customer. This method keeps you from having to buy the product first. Having a good drop shipper allows you to test which products sell well and which don’t. All you have to do is create the listing and pay the eBay listing fees. If the product sells then you place an order with the drop shipper. If it doesn’t sell then all you lost is the listing fee. You must have a good drop shipper if you want to sell on eBay.

The Necessity of Starting Your Own eBay Store

By Joshua Watson

According to eBay, "over 75% of eBay store owners say that opening an eBay store has significantly increased their sales" (eBay, 2007). Quite simply, if you buy and sell on eBay, either as a hobby or full time job, you are falling behind if you do not have your own eBay store.

Of course eBay charges a nominal fee of $15.95 a month however, the tools as resources you get access to can more than justify the cost. In fact, many of the tools can be used to help your non-eBay store related sales!

Build Your Store: The entire process is done through an easy to use interface that allows you to customize your store with very little effort. You can categorize your products and manage your inventory, all with the click of a button. In addition your store design will assist in your branding efforts. eBay offers great customer assistance, should you run into any difficulties.

Control Sales: Another benefit to starting your own eBay store is having access to the eBay sales management tools. You can easily adjust prices on the fly and offer limited time only sales. It's all about marketing your products and if you have an easy way to get new information to your customers, you will be one step ahead of the competition.

A Complete Package: In addition to the features listed above, an eBay store comes with a host of in-house marketing tools. Each tool is designed to help you drive traffic and increase your sales. Add that to the built in tracking system and you are looking at a set of resources that you would be crazy not to make use of.

There are a host of testimonials available on eBay to "entice" you into opening your own eBay store. Unlike most added features on other products, starting your own eBay store is actually a good idea and in the end you are only out 15 dollars. Opening your eBay store cannot hurt or decrease your sales in any way.

If you have not tried to have your own eBay store, it's never too late to begin. The process is simple and user friendly. If you are serious about starting an eBay store, click on "Sellers", then "Open a Store" once you are on your eBay home page. There are 8 basic steps in setting up your store:

Choose a color theme.Click continue.Enter your store's nameGive a description of your store.Choose a few graphics to help the appearance of your store.Click Continue.Sign up for the basic store ($15.95 a month).Click the supplied link to further customize your store.
