Let’s start with a different approach. Say for example, if you are to learn chemical science. You would probarbly have to learn the various experiments and the results, even further you might even have to go through lab sessions and try the experiments yourself in order to understand them better. In a nutshell, creating an online business does not have much difference to learning science. The only major difference is that you don’t use goggles and gloves as safety equipment on the internet

Internet has shrinked the world into a very small place thus the world today is attributed as a Global Village. Many of us don’t appreciate the impact of this trend, infact we all just swim along the tide. But hey, why not try something different? The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who would think out of the box.  Be it online or offline, entrepreneurs with a unique point of view will stand out. They always have been. Only a handful of ebay sellers are making use of the ability to sell worldwide. Should you be with the mass crowd undetected or should you be taking up an aggressive approach towards selling?

Let’s see how we can squeeze this concept of Global Village into our ebay business. Selling internationally on ebay can be interesting, at the same time it should never be taken for granted. But never ever let yourself put off by the words international or global. It just means that you are willing to seek potential customers from other countries. Simple as that. (more…)

If you want to be a professional seller, it is of utmost importance that you provide your customers value for money. On ebay you may have to go the extra mile in order to provide GREAT VALUE for money.

Think of it this way, why do you ever go to ebay as a buyer? ….exactly; naturally, because you  are looking for a bargain.  It’s a vicious circle, you can’t survive without targetting a hot niche at the same time the competition is hot as the niche itself. So what do you do? start sourcing unique, unbranded products (keep a very good eye on the quality too..) at ridiculous prices and you will easily beat the crowd. It is so obvious the price has to be low in order to keep a margin and to give the customer a bargain simultaniously. But why unbranded? Because 99% of the branded products have a set market value defined either by the company itself or the market. Either way it’s a very tough code to crack. I’ll explain you why;

1. It is highly unlikely that you will beat all the middle men to source a product.
2. Even if you do, matching the high street price is so tough with branded goods (considering the seasonal deals or chain store/supermarket promotions etc.).
3. Suppose you did manage to match the price, who would buy from you when they can buy from the company itself?
4. You may have to spend a lot of time verifying the genuinity of the product

Selling on ebay is no hard work. Every Tom, Dick and Harry can sell on ebay. But how to sell like a powerseller? Well, I will reveal few tricks and tweaks with some free resources.

A super cool feature that ebay has (and I love them for it) is to be able to sell mutiple items in one listing. Ever wonder how powersellers sell items for $2 BIN(buy it now) and still include in ‘featured listings’ and ‘featured first’? The answer is simple, multiple item listing. You may have to do a complete cost analysis before you even source the products as featuring a product costs a lot of money, specially if you are selling a low cost; low margin product.

Inlusion in featured listings does boost sale, so does the highlight feature. If not there won’t be anybody paying ridiculous amounts of money on these features. But what if there is pierce competition in the featured block exact same product is next to your listing, supposedly both highlighted.

making money on ebay, there is not only the obvious ‘buy wholesale and sell on ebay’ method available. There are successful online entrepreneurs raking in thousands of dollars in affiliate income from niche marketing websites created with API scripts.

Ebay is a place where billions of people looking for millions of products. What these API script does is import product lists to it’s website and refer the visitors to ebay in order to earn a handsome commission. That’s right, affiliate commission. There are scripts available for Amazon, Commission Junction etc. I’ve come accross a few which gives a choice of site to refer and filter products for your own keywords.

These sites are far more easy to set up and you can start earning from day 1. All you need is a domain, hosting and one of these scripts. Unlike other online income streams, it’s easy to monetize whatever the traffic you get because they’re highly targeted. So the conversion rates in these niche sites are very high.

Finding wholesale dropship suppliers or a dropshipper list is the crucial step towards making life easier selling on ebay. How to find a good dropshipper is the big question.

The major difference between a wholesaler and a dropshipper is that a wholesaler would sell and ship the product to the reseller whereas a dropshipper would take the order from the retailer and ship the product directly to the end user. In effect, with a wholesale dropshipper, the retailer would save up time, effort and space.

Bearing in mind the current economic situation, it is always best to do a thorough research on the wholesale dropship company or the list provider since nothing is certain at this point of time.

Finding a “Hot Niche” is the most important yet simple (if done properly) step in becoming successful as an ebay seller. Even more importantly this would be the first building block of any ebay empire.

I was amazed when I heard this first and even felt stupid that this method did not occur to my mind. Yes folks! it’s that simple.

Go to the ebay regional site you are focussing and browse through categories and sub-categories which may take you to product listings. You may notice that few categories have few featured items listed on top of the regular listings. Some niches have more than ten featured items. Once you see high number of featured items in a niche you can be 100% certain that it’s profitable, ‘in demand’ niche. In other words a blazing Hot Niche.

Knowing that sellers have to pay a considerable amount of money (around $40) to feature a listing, it’s not rocket science to figure out why so many power sellers are using these features to sell high volumes of low priced (below $10 mostly) products.
