including an Ebay business, it is important to have an established line of credit available for your use.  This line could be in the form of a credit card, a personal loan, cash or a home equity loan.  You will need the funds to be able to purchase items from a wholesale vendor if you want to make the most money on Ebay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selling stuff from around your house can be a great start, but it is just that. . . a start.  Once you run out of items to sell from your house, your Ebay business will slow to a screeching halt.  That's when you can start selling stuff from family and friends, however, that is extremely time consuming compared to actually trying to figure out a product that you can buy in bulk from a wholesaler and resell.  When you run out of their stuff, then it's time to evaluate where your interests lie and find a wholesaler who can help you achieve your dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have a product (or products) in mind, you will need to contact a wholesaler or distributor to buy your items at the lowest costs.  In order to do that though, you will need to make sure that you have good credit.  You can get a &lt;a href="http://www.freescore.com/free-credit-score.aspx"&gt;free credit score&lt;/a&gt; and a credit report very quickly online.  It's always a wise idea to know up front what type of credit you have simply because most vendors are going to be concerned about whether or not you have the ability to pay.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When dealing with a distributor or wholesaler, you will need to fill out an application and provide references as well as bank account information.  If you already have good credit, even if you have never done business online or don't have any vendor references, the distributors will more than likely give you a starting line of credit.  Sometimes they ask you to pay via cash, check, or credit card for a few months to make sure you are legitimate.  When they see that you are paying them regularly, they will then establish a line of credit with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you already have vendors you have been dealing with, you can use those vendors as references to establish a line of credit.  It doesn't hurt to keep up with your credit score by getting a &lt;a href="http://www.freescore.com"&gt;credit report&lt;/a&gt; periodically to make sure all is well and no one else has accessed any of your information.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have worked with your first vendor online, it's much easier to find other wholesale products and get decent lines of credit for future sales and earnings on Ebay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-3778650076135427100?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Save Money for Yourself and Sell On Ebay</title><content type="html">&lt;b&gt;Where can I find a good drop ship company?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Drop shipping is a standard on may Ebay sites.  Most ebay sellers cannot afford to house thousands of dollars of merchandise unless they have their own warehouse (which some do).  Others have smaller inventories they store in their homes when they have room in their house or garage.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drop shipping is the alternate favorite.  To drop ship simply means that you are listing products for another company and when your buyer orders, you are sending your buyers information to the &lt;b&gt;drop ship &lt;/b&gt;company that actually has the product.  The drop shipper takes care of everything for you.  They package it and ship it under YOUR name so that you get the credit for it.  You pay the drop ship company a small fee and you keep all of the rest of the profit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, when you &lt;b&gt;drop ship,&lt;/b&gt; you will be amazed at the low cost of the products.  You can purchase these products for yourself to use as well.  You will save hundreds, if not thousands on purchases over a period of time.  You can also make money telling others about the drop shipping company so they can save too.  You get a commission when someone you tell decides to sign up.  It's a win win for everyone involved.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So put drop shipping on your list of things to check out if you want to sell on Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, to your friend, family, neighbors, or even in a home show.  Use your creativity and imagination and you could go far.  How can you find a good drop ship company?  Check out the banners on this site.  There are two really good ones.  Salehoo and the drop ship company you See listed in the banner at the beginning of this site.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-5483097622113937309?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

When you are purchasing Ebay information products, your goal is to learn something from every ebook, video or audio that you purchase.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most information products offer you a 60 day or more money back guarantee.  In all of my years on the internet, I have only returned three or four products because I felt that they provided no real direction.  The majority of them, I keep.  I also feel a bit obligated if I used any of their suggestions from their material to be honest about it and not ask for a refund.  Just about every publication you order will offer something new.  If it doesn't, then send it back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is NO magic potion that will make you an ebay powerseller or ebay seller overnight.  In fact, it may take years to build a business that supports you.  The only exception to that is for the person who has money to spend on inventory up front or a major corporation that already exists.  Those types of individuals can start up quickly and earn lots of money on Ebay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will need to read many types of books on buying ebay information products.  You will need information on how to set up your ebay business to attract buyers, how to make your pictures more appealing, how to build lists of potential buyers, how to set up your ebay store and much more.  A lot of this information is free on the internet, but it's also very time consuming to find it.  When someone has taken the time to compile the information, it's well worth the money.  I often equate it to how much my time is worth per hour vs doing the research for something.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-8731644192757350256?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

You can buy low and then resell the same item.  I've done that many times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to some success when you are first starting is to find items that you do not have to pay for or have already been paid for that are just lying around your house.  Ask family and friends for items that are in good shape that they are no longer using or that they want to give away.  Offer to clean out an old attic in exchange for being able to keep some of the items you find.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get too crazy though.  Not everything you think is great will sell.  What you should do is take a picture of items that you think you want to sell with your cell phone.  Take a look to see if the item has a unique signature and make a note of it.  Sit at a computer and do a little research to see if your item is being sold on Ebay already.  Make sure you have opened an Ebay account.  Once you have, login.  Type in the name of your item.  You will hopefully get some search results.  Make sure your spelling is correct the first time or even use a common misspelling to find your item (that's a secret to getting some good deals when buying).  Then, go to the left column and find the words "completed listings".  Hit the search bar again with your keywords (your item description or title).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you see the completed listings in green, that will give you some idea if your item will sell and if so, how much it sold for.  If it looks like a good seller, bring it home with you and take pictures.  Then look at the existing listings that have sold.  Don't copy the other listings exactly and don't steal their pictures.  You can create a similar listing in your own words.  Be descriptive, not corny.  Your title should be descriptive as well.  Don't put words like "LOOK"  or SCREAM AT YOUR BUYERS IN CAPITAL LETTERS!.  Just describe:  vintage japanese cloisoinne vase new in box (for example).  Put lots of pictures in your auction.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day, find an item by doing this same type of research.  By working a little bit everyday either buying discounted items and then reselling them or selling items you have on Ebay, you can make extra money, even with the Ebay and paypal fees.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-1983594272974014383?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

From the sellers standpoint, most of the times, handling charges are actually way too low.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebay and paypal fees have gone up dramatically.  In my own experience, I take a loss on shipping every time I sell something.  In order to remain competitive in my niche, I have to keep the handling charges low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebay is now charging 9% of the selling price as their final value fee when something is listed as fixed price or store.  There is a listing fee up front of apx. 20-30 cents, plus a fee charged of around 75 cents to a dollar for paypal.  International fees are even higher on paypal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handling charges on Ebay include such things as:  covering at least a portion of the Ebay and Paypal fees;  packaging materials, ie. bubble wrap, tissue paper, tape, plastic envelopes, printer ink for the receipts, business card enclosures, free gift enclosures;  post office delivery including gas to get to and from the post office, time in the post office;  and time. . . that's where the biggest loss occurs.  You can never be compensated for your time on Ebay.  If you did, the handling charge would be several dollars higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My pet peeve is when customers who order bicker about the shipping and handling charges.  The way I look at it personally is this.  When I order from Ebay, I am having the seller provide a service.  I don't have to get in my car and spend gas money and time going to a store to find something.  The average trip may take an hour.  My time is worth much more than the $2-$3 handling fee that is being charged.  I don't have to leave my house.  The work has already been done.  The seller is my slave.  What more could I ask for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understand that as a seller, you need to make a statement on your website that explains what is included in your shipping and handling charges.  Then tell the buyer not to order if they cannot agree with the charges.  This sounds harsh, but if you don't make it clear, you will be contacted and argued with.  That takes up more time that you are not being compensated for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it.   It's your choice.  Just say it in a nice way to help your buyers understand your handling charges when you sell on Ebay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-1317408534512387017?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A market niche is not golf, hunting, cars, clothing, etc..  That is a market segment.  A true ebay market niche digs much deeper.  Lets take golf for example.  Golf is very popular and there is lots of money to be made online.  If you try to compete with just "golf" being your true niche market, you will never get anywhere close to the first page of google any time soon.  How about "golf clubs"?  Same thing. . . it won't get you near the first page of google.  How about "Arnold Palmer golf clubs?"  Now you're getting closer to a true market niche. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would you think about "Arnold Palmer golf putter"?  Drilling down, down, down and making the market niche the smallest you can get it so that it still has traffic is the way to go.  Find your distributor and use the right keywords to get yourself on the first page of google.  Become an expert in that niche by writing articles about the putter and watch yourself get closer to the first page over time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-7492742815853490808?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I guess I just wasn't in to it.  Zhu Zhu Pets aka zoo zoo pets are the hottest money maker right now, as of today, the months of November and December.  I could kick myself for not paying closer attention.  That's where you come in.  Start watching the ads and specials in October and see what's popular with the kids.  This is the must have toy that sold for $8 in Walmart and now people are paying $25 - $40 plus shipping for this little hamster from China who basically does nothing but move forward on wheels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best part is that the little hamster needs his toys and clothes. . . another Webkinz in the making.  The toys are outrageously expensive as well.  This is the first time I have seen so many new Ebayers with 0 feedback selling these things and making a killing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I want to know is why wasn't I this smart this year?  Pay attention to the trends.  Also, regarding the discussion of how people on Ebay rip people off over these things. . .well, let me tell you. . . in one night, I watched over 1,000 auctions close successfully for these little critters and they all sold.  24 hours, 1000 auctions, all sold.  If the people are willing to pay you for being smart enough to get in on the trend, then by all means, go for it.  They may not be hot next year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-8296135042959377892?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The easiest way to decide what to sell is to watch, right now, what the trends are.  What are the hottest toys going to be this year?  What was the most popular movie and what might sell in relation to that movie?  You can find that info simply by watching TV or reading the newspapers or magazines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have determined what the hottest items will be, then watch your stores for discounts and coupons.  Many times a popular item will sell out a month before Christmas.  If you have that one of a kind item, your auction may go wild. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two years ago I found the game Electronic Battleship in my local discount Ollies store.  I purchased about 16 of those games.  I could have kicked myself for not buying more.   I paid $24 each for them and my average auction win came in at around $50.  That's not a bad return on my investment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find something of interest in your local discount store that you think will sell, write the name of the product down and the price and go to Ebay.  Type in the name and see how many come up.  That will show you if the product you want to sell is competitive.  The next thing to do is to see if anyone is actually buying the product.  To do that, look on the left hand side to find the words "completed listings".  Make sure you are signed in to do this.  Then put a check in the box and search again with the exact search term you searched before.  That will show you how many of the items have actually sold (in green) and how much they went for.  Then you can determine if the product is worth buying.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-5434271607146957846?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This is something I didn't know when I started on Ebay. . . well, I sort of did know, but I was too lazy to start another account with Ebay.  As a result, I "confiscated" my son's username, kawasakiguy89 just to use for a short time, never knowing I would grow my Ebay business to a powerseller status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kawasakiguys should be selling kawasaki products or dirt bike products, etc.  I'm not.  I sell baby products. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two things have happened here though and this is just my observation. . . women don't know I'm a woman so they think it's "cute" that a guy is selling baby products.  The second is, no one really cares because I have good feedback and a decent amount of feedback that they can read, so they purchase the product because they want it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, it's much better to choose a username that reflects your niche product.  So, if you are a scrapbook fanatic, then your username could be scrapbookmomma, or scrapbookjudy, or scrapbookingforfun.  That way, your keyword, scrapbook, is incorporated in your username and people know what your ebay business will be all about.  Make sense?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-5653552720479625988?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I am making progress day by day, but it never ceases to amaze me that most of the products you find online are always missing something to keep you from getting to the next step.  I have to say that this product is not one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always realized the necessity for building websites to help grow my Ebay business.  From day one, I took what I had learned from a variety of Ebooks and applied that knowledge.  It wasn't easy.  There was so much more to all of this than I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still watch for good products to come along and I have to tell you, this product on how to build a one page website by this afternoon (3:45 to be more precise) is one of the best I have ever seen to walk a newbie or beginner through the process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, it's free to get the ebook with the same information that is sold on the videos.  Yes, for real, it's free to get all of the information you need to build your website.  The best part though is that you have the option to actually buy (with a money back guarantee) the same information, but on instant download video.  This makes everything so easy.  Would you rather read 100 pages or watch the process step by step?  I prefer to watch.  I can replay segments that I don't understand over and over again.  I can refer to the pdf anytime I want, but I learn so much better when I see something and read too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have never built a website and you want to learn how, this is the set of videos that will teach you.  Don't hesitate to look at the site.  Like I said, there is no charge at all to download the pdf file (you need adobe acrobat and there is a link provided on the site for that. . . it's free too).  You can read it and if you feel that the videos can help, you have that option available.  Otherwise, get to it.  Build your first website around your products you want to sell on Ebay and drive traffic to your own Ebay auctions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just click on the picture to be taken to the site right away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://proadvice.farrell09.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.createyourfirstwebsite.com/images/dvd.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-9020735057386080830?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

See if there are any brand name items on sale for a deep discount (and I do mean a deep discount).  Write down those items or get the store's flyer and take it home with you.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have an internet connection on your cell phone, you can do the research right there.  Login and go to Ebay.com and type in the name of the item in the search bar.  Take a look to see what kind of returns you get and how much the item you looked up is selling for.  Check completed searches in the left hand column to see how many have sold and what they have sold for.  If it looks like you could make a few dollars, buy your item, take it home and list it for sale. If it sells, get more of them at the same price and do it all over again.  This is just one of the very easy ways to &lt;strong&gt;get started selling on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to build a real Ebay business?

Don't Put All of Your Ebay Eggs in One Basket!</title><content type="html">Ever since finding my first successful product about two years ago on Ebay, I've been researching other products that I might be able to sell of Ebay. To me, this is one of the hardest parts of becoming successful. With one other product line under my belt, I could make a full time living instead of a part time one. I still haven't found one that I am very excited about. Now my dilemma is that I have all of my Ebay eggs in one basket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you intend to make a full time living, or even a good part time living on Ebay, you don't want this to happen to you. You must diversify and have at least another two back up products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned very quickly how to go out of business on Ebay almost overnight. What happened didn't just happen to me, it happened to all of my competitors in my niche market as well. Our supplier who had only done this one other time and promised never to let it happen again, ran out of our product for second time in one year. Sales came to a halt. Without having inventory available either for lack of money or for trust in the supplier, there was no product to sell. Several of us had put all of our Ebay eggs in one basket so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has prompted me to begin a search for another product more diligently. My supplier is the only distributor in the USA where I can get my product (the same for my competitors). I lost over $1,000 in sales easily in 10 days. That can equal one mortgage payment if you are living from pay check to pay check and counting on your Ebay sales to keep you going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, in conclusion, it's not a good idea at all to have just one product line to count on. That way, if one distributor runs out of product then you can fall back on the other distributor until you can get the other product in hand. Do your research up front. Find two products and two distributors at one time and focus on those and then go out and get a third over time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working now on finding a solid drop ship arrangement. There are two places I am researching and both seem to be very good places for products: The first, Worldwide Brands is excellent.

Here is one example of &lt;strong&gt;what you can do to make money on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt; quickly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my favorite stores is a discount store called Marshalls.  You may or may not have one in your area but it is a store that sells brand name, designer clothing at a deep discount, especially at the change of seasons.  If you know of a store that is like Marshalls, then this will work for you too.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you go, login to Ebay.  One at a time, look up Polo shirts girls, then Polo shirts boys, Ralph Lauren boys, Ralph Lauren girls, Ralph Lauren baby, etc.  (I always look for clothing with brand names like Ralph Lauren, Polo;  Baby Phat;  Tommy Hilfiger; etc.).  Look in the left hand column for the words, "completed listings" (you need to be signed onto Ebay to do this).  Put a check mark in that box.  Go back up to the search bar where you have your search term entered, ie. polo girls shirts and click on search.  When you get the search returns, you will see all of the items that have sold in green.  You will see how much they sold for and a picture of what they look like.  Write down that info for each search term you look up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armed with that information, and a credit card or cash, visit your discount store.  Take a look at the brand names and compare what you see with what &lt;strong&gt;sold on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt;.  If you can make at least a $3-5 profit, then buy the item.  Don't go crazy.  Buy one or two items to start unless you see some unbelievable bargains. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go home, take pictures, upload them to your computer and list them on Ebay.  You can use Auctiva which is free for uploading even more pictures.  Auctiva.com  takes about a half hour to learn but it is well worth it because you can list as many pictures as you want for free whereas Ebay charges for each picture.   Make sure when you are listing that you are pricing your items competitively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More on how to list in the next blog.  Next time:  Why you must use good keywords in your title.

Yes, it is and now there is an Ebay product that will walk you step by step from beginning through building a profitable Ebay business.  You can learn from the experts.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://proadvice.stopsign.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Click here now &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;to find out how to get started right away.  This is the perfect resource for anyone who wants to get started, especially Ebay newbies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Building an Ebay business will not happen overnight.  On the other hand, you can join in minutes, create your seller account and your paypal account (&lt;a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=1&amp;amp;campid=5335820525&amp;amp;toolid=10001&amp;amp;customid="&gt;click here to create Ebay account&lt;/a&gt;) and have your first item sold in three to ten days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Sign up and try it on your own if you don't want to follow anyone's directions, just so you can see how easy it is.  Then, when you try it on your own, don't waste any more time.  Come back and click on the link above to read more about how to do it right the first time.  Don't waste time guessing and losing sales like I did when I first started.  Now that I learned from the experts, I am a powerseller.  It was hard work, but now that I know what direction I am going to take and what market niche or two I want to specialize in, I target that niche and that niche only.  I am focused, directed and now am making some decent money.  My business is growing in an economy that is dying.  Trust me.  You are going to want to learn how to do this the right way to save yourself time and money loss.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Getting started on ebay is really easy.  Are you ready and willing to take a half hour out of your day just to get set up and do a little bit of research?  You will have to put the most time in on Ebay when you are deciding on your niche, taking pictures of your products, and listing them.  My own two cents?  Find one product first and keep the same product.  Test it and if it works, stick with it.  That way you won't have to take thousands of pictures of hundreds of products.  You don't want to do that.  It isn't any fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-6655831695677546417?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Now it is more stressful due to the new &lt;strong&gt;Ebay feedback system&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The most unfair part of the system is that sellers can no longer leave negatives for buyers (not that many did that unless there were deadbeats who refused to pay for items that were already shipped.)  I got my first negative feedback out of over 2,300 positive feedbacks from a buyer in the UK.  The buyer's comment was that I hadn't responded to his emails and that it had been 14 days and they still didn't have their product.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;First of all, I have all of the responses to his emails stored on Ebay.  He only had 4 feedback so he probably didn't know to check his spam folder.  He had my direct email address.  He could have emailed me to say he didn't hear back from me through Ebay.  Funny thing though, the same day he gave me the negative feedback, he sent me an email telling me that he got his item that day.  All I could do was say in my comment that it was not true and international shipments take longer.  Of course, I had already put a large paragraph on my auction saying that international buyers should expect shipments to take 14-30 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I thought I would appeal to him and asked him to remove my negative feedback since he did get his item.  No go.  He never responded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The second really bad part of the Ebay feedback system is the fact that they made 4 separate criteria on which the seller needs to be judged.  Duh.  Everyone loves to pay handling charges, don't you?  The biggest complaint among sellers is about the shipping and handling section.  I personally ship my items within 24 to at the very very most, 48 hours.  If the post office decides to take 10 days to deliver it or there is a massive snow storm, tornado, hurricane, or other Act of God, it's not our fault!  The buyers don't seem to grasp this concept.  That's where my 100% rating went from 100% down to 99.9%.  No one likes to pay handling charges.  My Ebay and Paypal fees are so high that I lose money on shipping every time.  I don't pad the cost of my products, nor do I pad my handling fees (which average $2-3 depending on the cost of what Ebay is charging me), yet sellers are getting penalized because buyers don't understand what the ratings do to the sellers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I still sell on Ebay and will continue to for awhile.  I've recently listed things on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/grandmasgoodies"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bonanzle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; and so far with three new sales, my fee has been a whopping 50 cents.  There are some pretty cool things on the site so you may want to check it out.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I have more stories about the Ebay feedback system.  Maybe I'll share another one in another blog.  I don't think Ebay cares enough to change their policy back to protect the sellers as well.  They are losing many sellers because of their high fees and their policy changes, but some of us are still hanging in there to see if Ebay will go back to the fun place it used to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;By the way, if you are looking to start selling on Ebay, &lt;a href="http://proadvice.salehoo.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=EBAYBLOG"&gt;click here &lt;/a&gt;for an excellent resource to find products to sell and brainstorm for ideas.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-5341186894639768146?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Only the seller really knows the true &lt;strong&gt;cost of shipping packages on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt; because they are the ones putting the time and effort in to get the packages to the customers as quickly as possible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ebay Shipping charges&lt;/strong&gt; are predetermined by the usps and UPS and any other carrier your customers may choose to have their package delivered from.  As we all know, shipping charges are continuing to rise dramatically and just like the increase in the gas prices, the shipping increases have to be passed along to the customer.  This, in turn, causes the Ebay seller to have to cut back on their handling fees to the extent where they are barely breaking even or even losing money on the &lt;strong&gt;Ebay shipping charges&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Many buyers don't understand all of the time and expenses that go into preparing a package on &lt;strong&gt;Ebay for shipping&lt;/strong&gt;.  For those Ebay sellers who print their own labels here is what transpires after a typical sale.  The Ebay seller needs to find a box or envelope that will fit the item.  If they don't sell the same items, they will need to take a few minutes to search for their packaging.  Once they find the packaging, they have to pay for the packaging by going to a store or perhaps can find something laying around their house or office to ship their item in.  This alone can be frustrating and time consuming, although many Ebay sellers, if they are selling the same product, have already done the leg work and have the packaging on hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;For the Ebay seller who doesn't print their own shipping labels, the addresses need to be hand written.  In both cases, if the package is international, a customs form needs to be filled out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The next step in determining the &lt;strong&gt;shipping charges on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt; is for the seller to package the sold item.  This may mean that the package needs bubble wrap, packaging peanuts or tissue paper or some other type of packing material to keep the item secure.  Once the item is in the box or packaging, it may need taped.  Packaging tape is very expensive but is necessary to secure some of the packages.  The item is taped and ready to be weighed if the Ebay seller prints their own postage.  If not, the package is set aside for a trip to the post office later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If the Ebay seller prints their own labels, then there is the cost of printer ink and paper and the cost of a scale to weigh the items.  The Ebay seller weighs the item after it is packaged and then finds the order in their Paypal account or in their Ebay back office, clicks on the order, fills in the necessary information to print the label and then prints it.   They wait until the label is printed and then apply it to the package.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The package still has to get to the post office so they either take it themselves (add the cost of gas and the time to get to the post office) or they call the post office and schedule a next day delivery.  Once they get to the post office, they have to wait in long lines many times and then if the items are first class international (the postage cannot be printed online) or if they do not print their labels on line, they have to wait for the postmaster to weigh and put the postage on the package.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It may take, even for the most efficient ebay packager, up to 15 minutes or more for to get a package ready to go.  For those of us who sell the same ebay products for the most part, it still takes a good 10 minutes for each package.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then there are the Ebay and Paypal fees which are getting more and more expensive.  The Ebay seller rarely is able to recoup those charges any more.  I am a small powerseller and my ebay fees average $300-400 per month.  My paypal fees are at least $200 per month.  So even if I make a small profit on the items themselves, I may be losing money on the other fees, especially if the package is international.  The international shipping rates are so high that many times, just to make a sale, you can't even add a handling fee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If you are a consumer, I hope you understand some of the reasons the handling costs are included in your shipping charges.  If you are an Ebay seller already then you can relate to this.  If you are thinking of selling on Ebay, go for it, in spite of knowing the &lt;strong&gt;true cost of shipping packages&lt;/strong&gt; on Ebay.  It is still worth the time and effort for the most part.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-1156955088975433764?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The answer is simple, you can.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then, if it is so easy to sell on Ebay, why are you recommending a variety of products to help me get started?   To cut down your learning curve and get you into profit much faster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You can just set up an Ebay account and start selling stuff from around your house.  In fact, I would highly recommend you do just that so you can experience, first hand, what the process entails.  I can almost predict that once you list an item and it sells, you are going to want to list another after you see how easy it was.  You may then list another and another and before long, you decide that selling on Ebay can be a fun, part-time business that can earn you a few hundred extra dollars per month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;That's great and it is fun and you can make some extra money selling on Ebay.  But what if you decide that you want to take this to a next level - even if you do sell part time?  Do you want to have to do trial and error and spend hours trying to figure out what to sell and how to sell it?  What happens when you run out of your own stuff to sell and you want to start selling stuff for your friends and relatives and neighbors?  It may just get a bit more complicated and having a blueprint from someone who has already been there and done that would be very helpful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You can make a little bit of money on Ebay or you can make a lot.  To make a lot, it's going to take work and knowledge that you don't have.  You need an expert.  You can start with the recommendations for the Ebay millionaire that I have on this blog because his information is inexpensive, or you can go to the Worldwide Brands website and glean tons of valuable information.  Their product is more expensive but worth every penny if you want to build a serious Ebay business.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-5818118376397746739?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Why? You aren't really selling your own stuff. You are using technology that actually takes your own area of interest aka market niche, ie. golf, swimming, tennis, designer purses, etc. and brings all of the items that are for sale on Ebay directly to your own designer website. It's the technology that helps you create a website or series of where you show other people's Ebay products, advertise the link through multiple sources (which they also suggest) never have to touch any products, and still share in the revenue from those products. This can turn out to be an excellent way to get started &lt;strong&gt;selllng on Ebay&lt;/strong&gt; very quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I did this myself and am presently building my marketing niches. It's great fun, not very difficult to do, and as you promote your links, you will start to see sales without having to ever worry about where to find a product.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Just click the link below to discover how to sell on Ebay without using any of your own products and still make tons of money having fun doing it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://proadvice.nichestore.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Build Your First Money Making Website In 10 Minutes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1240028746583436689-7907109620874910686?l=topebaysecrets.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
