Deciding What to Sell on eBay and How to Find It
The pressing question that almost every eBay seller faces at one point during their selling experience is that dread question: What is it, exactly, that I should sell and where do I get it? You ve sold every last thing in your house that you don t want or need and you re tired of selling other people s stuff and you are wondering where to turn. Finding a solid source for a product is essential in building your eBay business. It may take some work, it may take some time, but once it is established and exclusive, you will have a close to indestructible online business. There are two types of products you need to look for: Introduction Products (Products that are new and in-demand) Liquidation Products (Products that are at the end of the product cycle and being sold at a huge discount) If you re interested in finding introduction products, you are in for a lot of work. You will have to obtain a lot of knowledge about the consumer and almost be able to predict what will sell well. You could possibly find a supplier that supplies a massive amount of one particular new product. However, you may discover they sell horribly on eBay. You are then stuck with all these newly packaged products and probably in debt. When it comes to liquidation products you have a lot more options. There is a lot more room for research to see how popular the product was when it first hit the market. You will also be able to obtain liquidation products at a substantially lower price. After deciding what type of product you would like to sell, it s a matter of finding a supplier. It s not as simple as searching on google or finding a wholesale list on eBay. The internet is saturated with wholesale scams. It may not be impossible to find a good supplier on line, but it could be considered unlikely. A good way to get started in finding a good consistent supplier is to buy products at a discount retailer, like Big Lots or even Wal-mart, and test different products. When you find one you think may be profitable, find out the manufacturer s number (located on the package) and ask to speak to someone about purchasing products for resale. It s a tedious process, but when you find a good supplier you will not regret it. It takes good research and patience. Just remember, the best supplier won t be easily found on the internet or in a book. A good, consistent supplier will be found through the tedious process of finding an exclusive source that you worked hard to discover.

Buying Tips For Maximum Profits On EBay
Buying on eBay can be lots of fun and profiting. If you love bargains, and am yet to see anyone who doesn’t, i stand corrected, if there is anyone one out there who doesn’t, then eBay is the right place for you. 24 hours a day and the whole year through in the comfort of your own home, you can find and profit from lots of bargains. From eBay antiques to eBay motors, real estate to sought after event tickets, consumer electronics to collectibles, there is something for everyone on eBay. And these are just a few of the categories i have mentioned. At any one time, eBay has hundreds of thousands of items for sale on its network of sites. Items are organised into categories on eBay, and these are listed down on the left hand side of the screen. It’s amazing what’s on sale on eBay. Rather than moving through all this categories, it’s a better idea to use eBay’s search facility. Because eBay has such a massive number of items for sale, it’s very likely you will be presented with hundreds if not thousands of items when you search for items to buy on eBay. The first thing to have in mind, when you need to buy on eBay will of course be the price. EBay is supposed to be the bargain warehouse, but over the years, there have been so many items that have exchanged hands for way above their retail value because of the bidding frenzy that comes with certain items offered for sale on the auction site. It’s always a good practice to compare bids if you are involved in an auction, and if this has already exceeded the pre - determined amount you are willing to pay, don’t be tempted into a bidding war, just move on and find similar items with a different seller, you are always bound to find these because remember there are thousands of items available for sale on eBay. Items you buy on eBay will be mailed to you unless stated otherwise, so be very wary of postage and delivery costs when determining the amount you are willing to pay for an item. When you have decided on these, also consider the condition of the item. EBay is an auction site, and as is the case with all auctions, there are always old and new items for sale. So be very careful, usually the seller’s description of the item should give you an idea about its condition. When in doubt you can always email the seller through eBay’s mail system. All good sellers will answer questions regarding their items. Some auctions come with a “Buy It Now” icon, you can end the auction immediately by paying for the advertised price using the “Buy It Now” icon. I suggest you should only do this if the “Buy It Now” price is within the pre - determined amount you are willing to pay. Copyright © David Nettey

Get Rid of the Biggest Pains in the eBay Business
How would you like to get rid of some of the biggest pains
in selling items on eBay?

How would you like to have a product where there is:
No scouring the internet or your community looking for
saleable products
No researching for, or dealing with, suppliers,
wholesalers or dealers
No investing hard earned dollars, upfront, in products
No inventorying of products or packaging to store in your
home
No packaging of products after they are sold
No traveling to the post office or wherever, to ship them.
No charging outrageous shipping fees
No more making minuscule profits of only 20 to 30%

What is the answer? Sell digital products!

Digital products can be ebooks, DVD’s, reports, videos,
CD’s and more.

Digital products are reports, files, or movies that are
digital (or electronic) and are meant to reside on the
computer and be transferred digitally.

All these above products are similar so let’s focus on
ebooks. Ebooks are basically long reports, stories or how-
to’s which are written, sold and downloaded directly from a
web site or e-mailed to the buyer. Then, if the buyer
prefers, he can print a hard copy of the ebook to read in
his leisure.

Where do you get these ebooks? Well, that would take a
long explanation, but briefly, they are generally written
by the seller. However, they can be purchased from others,
have others write them for you, or interview an authority
and transcribe the interview.

To sell a digital product on eBay, you simply write a good
sales page and list it. When someone buys the e-book, you
just e-mail the buyer (with the ebook) or tell him where he
can download it.

Let’s look at the benefits in a little more detail:

1.) You get to keep 100% of the profits. Once the products
are written (or developed) there is no further cost and all
profits are yours.

2.) You don’t have to sell a physical product, i.e.,
something you can hold or handle. This results in many
benefits, namely:

You don’t have to buy every product you sell! This frees
up a lot of your money that you would have to invest in
inventory. It also eliminates buying products and not
selling them. How many times do we see something and say
that would be good to sell on ebay. Then we buy it and
either never list it, or list it and it doesn’t sell.
Digital products on the other hand are free to create.

You never have to worry about running out of products.
Since they are all digital you make one copy and it can
last indefinitely.

You don’t have to worry about looking for new dealers,
suppliers or wholesalers. This can be very time consuming
to find the right dealer at the right price. But just as
important, you don’t have to deal with them.

You won’t need any storage space for the products or
packaging materials. All you need is space on your hard
drive.

There is no shipping and handling costs. You can even have
an automatic downlink link where it all happens instantly
and automatically. Your customers are happy because they
get it without paying any shipping charges and you are
happy because you don’t have to handle, package or
transport anything.

You eliminate the single biggest reason people refuse to
buy stuff online: paying too much for shipping charges.

There you have it - eight benefits of digital products.

Remember by selling digital products you eliminate the
most painful aspects of selling on ebay.

Some people are selling digital products on eBay and are
making a ‘killing’. You can be one of them too. Just
consider it!
