There are a huge number of buyers waiting when you have products that are of high value, yet you are willing to sell at a reasonable price. That said, what was my mistake?

    My daughter and I started selling on eBay as a means of selling excess inventory from our retail store. Like so many others, we soon found that there was a better opportunity on eBay than our established retail business provided to us. We could amake money on eBay much more quickly and easily.

    eBay was a marketplace filled with ready, willing and able buyers! We saw that quickly and couldn’t wait to get started. We selected our market niche. We selected our products to sell. Then we started selling and selling and selling. It seemed that we had found an almost limitless market and pot of gold that came with it. Soon we were selling hundreds of items each month. Purchasing, listing, pulling, packing and shipping products had become a fulltime job for both of us. We had found the way to amake money on eBay. Yet, even with those great sales, we were not making a very big profit.

    Time for A Marketing Tune-up

Many business people are great optimists, or they probably wouldn’t have gotten into the game to begin with. They keep doing everything they’ve ever done in the hope that one day it will produce results. STOP! It’s ti

    Accepting Credit Cards on your Website
    If you are building an online shop, you will need to address the question of taking payments for orders. You can, of course, request that a check payment be sent to you in the mail. Most shopping basket software allows you to select this option when you are setting it up. If you already have an offline, bricks and mortar business, you may simply wish to

    As we examined everything we quickly found that while our sales looked impressive, and we had already become Powersellers, we weren’t making the profits that we desired. Soon the culprit became clear. Yes, we were able to amake money on eBay. Our profit margins would have impressed almost everyone. Yet, we had selected products that simply sold for too little.

    Here was our problem! We had found a great set of low-priced products. Let me give you an example: Would you rather sell a pencil for $1.00 with a final profit of 30? each, or would you rather sell a fire engine for $10,000 with a final profit of $4,500 each? More realistically, would you rather sell $1.00 pencils with a final profit of 30? each, or $15.00 pencils with a final profit of $4.00 each?

    Though we weren’t in the 30? category, we were simply working too hard for too little profit. We weren’t selling $1.00 pencils. They were more like $2.50 or $3.00 pencils. At 30? profit per item, you need to sell a lot of pencils to make a living! Preparing and shipping a $1.00 pencil takes every bit as much time and effort as preparing and shipping a $15.00 pencil.

    We have since evolved our business out of the $1.00 or $2.50 pencil category and into prices that provide a more reasonable profit for the time and effort involved.
