Do you have new,
used or unwanted items sitting around your home or business waiting
to be turned into cash? You know...
that box in the basement patiently
waiting for the next yard sale (which never seems to happen). What
about those items in the garage you have been telling yourself to
call the local news paper to place an ad for
(but never get around to it)? Or, how about those old
children’s toys in the attic (the kids are now in their 20's...
guess they won't be playing with them any longer)...
Possibly you're procrastinating because you're just not sure if you
want people coming to your home to view or pick-up your items?
Next question:
Have you heard of people making money selling items on eBay? Of
course you have. eBay has become an every day household name and
the number one online source to buy and sell almost anything. Why not sell your
items with eBay? Well - maybe you
simply don’t have the time ( that box of items has only been in the
basement for a couple of years now). Possibly you may not have
a computer, a connection to the Internet, a digital camera,
knowledge to write item
descriptions,
a merchant account for
processing credit cards, want to set-up a separate bank account,
open a online payment system, hassle with packing and shipping your
item ….and the LIST goes on!
FEAR NOT…The
selling wizard was created to fill this void whether you have one
item or one hundred…our goal is to earn your business and provide
superior customer service.
WIZARD TIPS
about selling with eBay:
Buyers tend to
look for sellers with multiple positive feedback (especially on higher
dollar items). Feedback is eBay's way of giving individual sellers
a reputation for successful completion of past sales. The
MAJORITY (54%) of all items listed on eBay... receive no bids at
all!
If you cannot
physically touch/handle an item "A picture is worth a thousand
words". It’s old-fashioned, but people still like to
see things before they buy them. For successful eBay selling, any
products listed on eBay must be accompanied by professional quality
photographs. Think of yourself buying an item and not seeing
it from all sides? What would you pay? Therein lies the value of
pictures.
Pay as much attention to the writing of your eBay listing as to your
picture. For selling on eBay, you need a powerful eBay listing. And
the trick to writing a strong eBay listing is to combine search
engine friendly phrasing with concrete details about the product
A typical
listing (your item description) on eBay will display for 7 days.
During this time period tens, hundreds or even thousands of
potential buyers from all around the globe may look at your item.
Questions will frequently come to you via email or telephone. Rapid
answers to questions are a MUST… or a potential sale may be lost.
In addition, many buyers will not even bid/purchase your item if you
do not have some form of online instant payment method available.
In
today's fast-paced environment financial transactions must
have a trusted vehicle to complete instantly, securely and from
anywhere around the globe.
When a bidder
buys an item it only makes sense that he or she would like to
receive it as soon as possible. That being said, items that are not
shipped on a daily basis tend to discourage higher selling prices.
Selling on eBay tends to be the easy part; packaging and shipping an
item to insure safe delivery can be hard and often times cuts into
your profit.
