Re: Selling on E-Bay

I am kicking ass on E-bay!!


I always throw in a freebee and ship fast.
I'm over +70 100% feedback now.

Problem is E-bay and Paypal nickle and dime you to death.

But I'm getting rid of crap,( well, good crap,) but am making happy customers.
I have about a 6-1 sell/not-sell ratio. my stuff is cool.

My seller dashboard is above the average.

Still learning how to price shipping and insert initial prices for maximum results.

I figured right now people will be buying more crap becuz' of tax returns and stimulus checks...
The economy is Tanking, and now is the time to sell!

Re: Selling on E-Bay

I have a good buddy who is going to dump on me a half garage full of Comics!
No shit. And its good stuff!!
I been selling really awesone lately. over +90feedback and I made $100 today.

Why? 'Cuz he needs it out of his hair, he wants me to sell it over the summer instead of getting a real job which are now scarce, and I'm going to return the favor to him later on/,,

So Next month I am starting up an E-bay store.
I checked out an "E-Bay Bizness for Dummies" book from the library yeaterday.

I already know about 75% of it already from my latest practical experience..
But can use it for a nice reference.

This allows me to do what I want and still make money over the summer time.
Thanks to my good buddy, I'll already have several stores worth of inventory!

+ I'm adding in Sports cards from Northwest Teams.
Seahawks, SuperSonics, Mariners, and Portland Trail Blazers.
I am buying up Team sets and Rookie lots of stars from those teams as you read this...

I'll add in Movies, games, and books soon.

No, Its not any get rich quick scheme. but I rather troll around on the internet and make $ than dig ditches.
Yes, Its work, and time, and labor.. But thats the beauty of running your own Bizness!!
I'll graduate by next spring, so its a good student occupation. + I get to learn more computer applications.

Its not forever, but I plan to make $$ this summer, and keep up a stock for supplemental income in the future.

Its kind of fun.
+ I like making customers happy. I always throw in a cool bonus for buying from me and paying quick.

I'll link my store in when its up and running.
And yes I'll ship overseas to confirmed addresses

More to follow!

Re: Selling on E-Bay

I like E-bays little game.
I just reached 100 + , 100% positive.

As soon as I win an auction, I pay right away,immediately.

I've been outbid on several items I wanted, but am Not deterred

I been buying up sports cards from my favorite teams, so that has boosted my feedback rating.

My seller rating is about +65, 100% positive.

I do have to package up and mail off like 7 items tommorrow. Its a bit of work and expense.
But this sh*t is kinda' fun to me!

I dig e-commerce

Re: Selling on E-Bay

I used to sell quite a bit on Aquabid and I found that offering to pay shipping was a big selling point even though I jacked up the prices to compensate for it. I guaranteed live delivery but with the stipulation the dead fish had to be mailed back to me with 24 hours of receipt and with the same next day mail. I alwasy add freebies too.
