However, there is a way that you can get cash back on all of your ebay purchases.  You just have to go through the website:  &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;amp;s=74635&quot;&gt;BigCrumbs.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been shopping through &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;amp;s=74635&quot;&gt;BigCrumbs&lt;/a&gt; since about 2008.  It is great because you not only get cash back on every eBay purchase, but you also get cash back when you shop through other retailers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnssDCuWNCqqTy77N0qiByybDSbFbkvSc-LzpnXWEOUImfsPSC6xWfPVUu_vlW-vxXKBfKMFiy-CWP8zIhuSBtmTXlG0ELuqM8Tw1b1iCB1ZvAEo3oHr4e0edwp7tg5GWg24QB3y04TXN/s1600/bcrumbs.jpg&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 36px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnssDCuWNCqqTy77N0qiByybDSbFbkvSc-LzpnXWEOUImfsPSC6xWfPVUu_vlW-vxXKBfKMFiy-CWP8zIhuSBtmTXlG0ELuqM8Tw1b1iCB1ZvAEo3oHr4e0edwp7tg5GWg24QB3y04TXN/s400/bcrumbs.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563493384412120034&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In January alone &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;I got $139 in cash back from my ebay and other online christmas shopping.&lt;/span&gt;  The great thing is, you also make money when you refer friends.  So the more people you refer, the more money you will get back each month!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, an eBay coupon code may not be what you are looking for.  But you can easily get cash back from your eBay and you can get money when your friends buy things too if you sign up at &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;amp;s=74635&quot;&gt;BigCrumbs.com&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2011/01/febuary-2011-ebay-coupon-code.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Eric Carlson)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnssDCuWNCqqTy77N0qiByybDSbFbkvSc-LzpnXWEOUImfsPSC6xWfPVUu_vlW-vxXKBfKMFiy-CWP8zIhuSBtmTXlG0ELuqM8Tw1b1iCB1ZvAEo3oHr4e0edwp7tg5GWg24QB3y04TXN/s72-c/bcrumbs.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-3155032340988777188</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-25T14:49:41.361-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Learn How to Sell on eBay</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">What sells on eBay</category><title>What should I sell on ebay? Domain Names!</title><description>Everyone is always looking to expand in what they can offer on ebay.  I have made many recommendations, from selling legos to nintendos, and pictures pulled from magazines.  I have just come across &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://64c850fmr38t9w00nl1c-d8v4j.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=URLS%22%20target=%22_top%22%3EClick%20Here!%3C/a%3E&quot;&gt;a hot new niche to sell on ebay.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is time to get into selling URLs on ebay.  Lots of people are interested in buying domain names, and now is the time to do it.  There are still many unique and profitable names out there to buy and then sell at a profit.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selling domain names on ebay is really similar to selling real estate.  Except of course, that the initial investment is much lower, and the potential percentage of return is much higher. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just bought this report about how to&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://64c850fmr38t9w00nl1c-d8v4j.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=URLS%22%20target=%22_top%22%3EClick%20Here!%3C/a%3E&quot;&gt; buy and sell domain names on ebay,&lt;/a&gt; and it was well worth it. &amp;nbsp;For the money I spent on the book I was able to double my investment in 3 weeks. &amp;nbsp;I have already sold 5 domain names, with more on the way.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-should-i-sell-on-ebay-domain-names.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-1552197741678358882</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-01T21:16:09.344-07:00</atom:updated><title>Get Higher Prices by Experimenting with Auctions</title><description>* Trying to stand out from a crowd by offering free&lt;br /&gt;shipping or lowering prices and raising shipping costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Changing the keywords in the your auction titles. Did&lt;br /&gt;you know eBay will tell you the five most frequently&lt;br /&gt;searched phrases for each category. Well eBay does. Even&lt;br /&gt;better, eBay even puts them in order. You can find these&lt;br /&gt;five most frequent searches by going into any category and&lt;br /&gt;looking at the &quot;Related Searches&quot; links found just under&lt;br /&gt;the search box at the top of every category page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Removing links to store items. I&#39;ve seen a lot of&lt;br /&gt;auctions with columns of links to store categories. Do&lt;br /&gt;these links help people find additional items or distract&lt;br /&gt;them from the single listing? I don&#39;t know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Trying different categories, or using the two&lt;br /&gt;category option. I know from my past results a Marx toy&lt;br /&gt;train accessory will usually bring more money listed in one&lt;br /&gt;of the Lionel categories. (Lionel and Marx are different&lt;br /&gt;brands of toy trains.) I wouldn&#39;t know that if I hadn&#39;t&lt;br /&gt;tested it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     A short aside here. EBay&#39;s rules say you must list&lt;br /&gt;the item in the most relevant category. Because there is a&lt;br /&gt;Marx category, the item should be listed there. To get&lt;br /&gt;around this, I list in BOTH categories, and include the&lt;br /&gt;words &quot;USE WITH LIONEL&quot; in the title. That is also an&lt;br /&gt;acceptable way to get a keyword into a title. &quot;USE WITH,&quot;&lt;br /&gt;or &quot;FOR&quot; and the secondary keyword.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * Remember to pay attention to the eBay listing fees&lt;br /&gt;when selecting prices to test. An auction listed with a&lt;br /&gt;starting price of $9.99, will cost you less in listing fees&lt;br /&gt;than the same auction with a starting price of $10.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Auction Revolution news</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2009/04/get-higher-prices-by-experimenting-with.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-5114806383331163863</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2008 03:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-17T20:51:56.604-07:00</atom:updated><title>Internets Was Yes!</title><description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.internetswasyes.com&quot;&gt;Internets Was Yes!&lt;/a&gt; is the new Boing Boing&lt;/h1&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/09/internets-was-yes_17.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-6024805127353759471</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2008 19:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-14T12:19:07.070-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Internets Was Yes</category><title>Internets Was Yes!</title><description>Thank you for stumbling upon my blog.

New Smurf Movie 2009</title><description>The word on the street is that there is going to be a new Smurf Movie in 2009.  Rumor has it, it may be part of a trilogy.  The Smurf Movie may also be in 3D (though it is unlikely the characters will be).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I know what you are asking, &quot;Why are you bringing up the Smurf Movie? What do Smurfs have to do with eBay?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well eBay friends I will tell you.  This post is a trend watch, and I am guessing that The Smurfs will be the hot new trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am assuming this will be similar to the Transformer trend of the past.  I am sure there will be a lot of marketing to promote the New Smurf movie in the next year, so now is the time for you to take action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend that while you are out at garage sales, or if you see any cool smurf items on the internet, or have any at home, that you hang on to them until the movie comes out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Sense a high demand for smurf items on the horizon, so keep your eyes peeled and get ready to jump on the Smurf Movie Bandwagon.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/03/smurfs-are-back-new-smurf-movie-2009.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-7666911224266563251</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 23:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-01T15:52:38.147-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ebay News and Information</category><title>eBay News and Information: Links for Mar 1</title><description>Rob Pergoraro of the&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward/2008/02/fee_feedback_changes_at_ebay.html&quot;&gt; Washington Post&lt;/a&gt; wants to hear how you feel about the recent eBay changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuters reports that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNews/idUSN2923696420080229&quot;&gt;eBay Sees Growing Risks in Coming Years.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;articleBody&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;If these changes cause sellers to move their business away from our sites or otherwise fail to improve gross merchandise volume or the number of successful listings, our operating results and profitability will be harmed,&quot; eBay said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m02/i29/s01&quot;&gt;AuctionBytes&lt;/a&gt;, eBay may introduce a split screen to display auction results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;eBay may have found a solution that will make both auction and fixed-price buyers and sellers happier: a split-screen results page that shows auction listings on one side and fixed-price listings on the other.&lt;/blockquote&gt;eBay Numbers were Reported to be inflated according to&lt;a href=&quot;http://pheebay.com/?ebay-numbers-inflated-by-shopping.com-product-listings-182.html&quot;&gt; pheebay.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;n2s_frontend_article_teaser&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;n2s_frontend_article_teaser&quot;&gt;An apparent glitch on eBay has meant tens of thousands of listings appeared on the eBay.com website without the ability for anyone to buy or bid on the items.&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;p&gt;As per normal with eBay, the conspiracy theories are already circulating about inflated listing numbers to disguise the boycott impact and artificial stats to satisfy Wall Street analysts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;articleBody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/03/ebay-news-and-information-links-for-mar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-3349489742384828798</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-29T00:08:44.607-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Learn How to Sell on eBay</category><title>Learn How To Sell on eBay</title><description>There are lots of new eBay customers out there who want to learn how to sell on eBay.

Ebay, did in fact drop 13% since Feb. 18. But if you look at the beggining of February there were about 13 million auction listings to start with. Thus, this small time frame only captures a small spike and valley in the graph. It does not actually represent how eBay is doing as a whole throught the month of February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another case of the Media skewing the numbers for a story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;eBay reports that it has seen no difference in the ammount of auctions listed since the boycott began.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/ebay-news-ebay-boycott-causes-auction.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-6311730922856999278</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-26T08:20:45.795-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ebay News and Information</category><title>eBay News: Forbes says dump eBay stock</title><description>From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/2008/02/25/ubs-urs-ebay-gurus_jl_0225gurupicks_inl.html?partner=yahootix&quot;&gt;Forbes.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;One name the gurus no longer want in their portfolios: eBay (nasdaq: EBAY). Analysts who favor the stock point out that eBay is the No. 1 global e-commerce brand, with a presence in nearly 40 markets. And the company likes to give back to its shareholders: eBay has repurchased $3.2 billion worth of stock since July 2006 and may repurchase another $2.8 billion under current authorizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But analysts also point out concerns, noting, for instance, that growth has slowed down in the company&#39;s two largest markets: the U.S. and Germany. EBay also has to deal with competition from rivals like Google (nasdaq: GOOG), Yahoo!

EBay will point out all of your faults for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you sell on eBay, and you have less than a 4.5 on any star rating, I really suggest that you try to find out what the problem is and fix it.  Otherwise, this type of change will obviously make your bidders think twice about buying an item from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/ebay-changes-meet-seller.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-8245858180936567795</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-24T11:17:25.047-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Guide</category><title>The Importance of reporting Non-Paying Bidders</title><description>It is very important that all sellers with non-paying bidders file non-paying bidder alerts and final value fee credits 10 days later if payment is still not received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Filing the FVFC has better results than leaving negative feedback - a buyer with three FVFC filed from three different sellers is suspended (usually) from using E Bay. Leaving negative feedback only gets a buyer suspended when their feedback number gets into the negatives (usually -3, but sometimes even that doesn&#39;t occur).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also important to file for the correct reason - that the buyer didn&#39;t pay. If they don&#39;t pay, don&#39;t file &quot;mutually agreed to cancel the transaction&quot; - that does NOT place a black mark against the buyer and allows the buyer to continue doing the same thing to other sellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you review a buyers feedback and see they have more than three negatives for non-payment, you can assume that not all of the sellers file or know to file the FVFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers must help each other by filing these forms to get these habitual non-payers off of E Bay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please read and use this link to file NPB&#39;s and FVFC on all non-paying bidders:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/bidders_nonpaying.html&quot;&gt;http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/bidders_nonpaying.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, you will have your re-listing fees refunded as well if you file the NPB and FVFC, relist and the item sells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until E Bay starts restricting bidders with NPB&#39;s from bidding on other items, the only way we can help each other as sellers is to file the FVFC&#39;s to get these buyers suspended.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/importance-of-reporting-non-paying.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-8716221916247987005</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Feb 2008 18:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-24T10:38:58.151-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ebay News and Information</category><title>eBay News and Information: Links for Feb 24</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-me-cagop24feb24,1,668079.story?ctrack=1&amp;amp;cset=true&quot;&gt;LA Times&lt;/a&gt;: Ex-CEO of eBay, Meg Whitman, is looking into what it takes to run for Governor of California.

If you want to get your eBay Auction found on Google or other search engines, I recommend that you follow some of eBay&#39;s search term guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use Keywords - Pick three to five keywords that relate closely to your item. Ask yourself what words people are likely to use in a search engine when looking for what you&#39;re selling. Once you have these keywords, use them appropriately in your listing title and item description.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care with Titles - Your listing title is a key factor in natural search. Include the most important keywords or keyword phrases in your listing title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get the Most Out of Your Item Description - Your item&#39;s description is the most valuable tool for creating search engine-friendly listings. While your primary goal is to describe the item you are selling to your eBay audience, here are several ways to use your description to its fullest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Create Good Content: Describe your item the best you can and in as much detail as possible You should include approximately 200 words of visible text in your description, with the most important keyword phrases comprising 5 to 7% of the total. (In 200 words of text, you&#39;ll want to use your keywords 10 to 14 times.) Note that search engines only read a certain amount of information per page, so overdoing your description with non-relevant information isn&#39;t a good strategy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avoid Keyword Spamming: Do not overuse keywords in an item description as it can reduce the effectiveness of content. Moreover, keyword spamming is a violation of eBay policy as well as an irritation to prospective buyers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avoid Hidden Text: Do not add invisible copy; search engines will not read it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;      Vary Font Strength: Use bold headers and use a font size of 12 or 14 maximum.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Include Links: Add links to other products, to your eBay Store, and so on. The words that are linked should be relevant to the destination. For example, &quot;Visit my Store&quot; or &quot;See other items&quot; are more effective than &quot;Click here.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use Image Alt Tags: These are keywords associated with the images you use in your listing. If you do your own HTML, be sure to include alt tags. This provides yet another opportunity to optimize keywords or keyword phrases that both describe the image and are consistent with your content.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/searchoptimization.html&quot;&gt;Search Optimization&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-get-more-people-to-find-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-4213765792366515184</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-18T11:24:26.884-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Repeat Customers</category><title>Get Repeat Business on eBay with Free Business Cards</title><description>If you want to get repeat business on eBay, have buyers bid on multiple items, and raise the average selling price and sell through rate of your eBay auctions, then you are going to need to implement some changes into your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the easiest things you can do to increase repeat business is to put a business card in with every package you send out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend making a business card with your eBay user ID on it, as well as your store&#39;s web page.  This is a great way to get customers to easily remember you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to get extra repeat business you might want to offer a coupon code that gives them a shipping discount on their next purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take control of your business card and get more repeat eBay customers.

Do you feel that your items are selling for less than they should?  Well it is time for you to work on your Ad Copy (Advertisement Copywriting).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing good ad copy is a process that takes time.  You may have to restructure your auctions, and re-think how you write your descriptions.  But, if you want higher auction prices and a larger sell through rate, it will be worth it to learn some basics of copywriting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you need to do when copywriting is know who your audience is.  Identify your target audience and then address their needs.  When you are writing to your bidders you need to make your ad as personal as possible.  Use pronouns like I and you, drop the we.  Even if your ad reaches hundreds of people, you need the bidder to imagine that you are giving them one on one attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, you need to analyze your product/service, it helps to make a list.  What features does your product have?  Make a list and try to describe it thoroughly.  For every feature that you come up with, try to think of a benefit that it will give your buyer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, you need to take your list of features and benefits and use them in a ad copy formula.  You need to structure your ad copy in your eBay auction, and there are two popular ways to do so.  The first method is called AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action).  The second is PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solution).  These are they basic formulas for writing ad copy, and are pretty self explanatory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When writing ad copy for your eBay auctions make sure to really sell the product.  Grab the readers interest and make them want the product because of all of its great features.  Use the bidders desire as a tool to get them to buy the item, tell them how it will make their life better, and how it will solve their problems.  And lastly, use a call of action.  Tell the bidder to buy it now in order to get this great product. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last part is so important I will write it again.  When writing good ad copy for your eBay auctions you need to tell the bidder to bid or buy your item now.  Make it seem urgent, tell them they will not find a better deal anywhere else, tell them not to miss out on this unique product.  You need to tell the bidder to buy the item, or else they will go elsewhere, and you will lose a lot of bids.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/get-higher-auction-prices-with-good-ad.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-7879595092510920691</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-13T18:54:00.489-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">What sells on eBay</category><title>Three Free Products You Can Sell on eBay</title><description>Want something for free that you can sell on eBay?  Well, you came to the right spot!  I have been doing some research on items that you can get for free and sell on eBay.  Today I have three free things that you can find on the internet and sell on eBay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not going to make you a lot of extra money.  But, if placed in your store, they will easily add some extra money to your PayPal account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all of these items I recommend running a week long 1 cent auction with text and links that refer the customer to your store to buy the item now.  This way you will get a lot of traffic to your store items because bidders will be interested in your cheap auctions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the list of three things you can get for free and sell on eBay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Coupons: &lt;/span&gt; Selling Coupons on eBay is very easy.  Although, since it is easy a lot of people do it, and this results in a relatively low selling price.   I am not going to do all of the work for you, but I suggest you look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/one-time-use-coupons/&quot;&gt;fatwallet.com &lt;/a&gt;for the coupons (there are sooo many!), and then research eBay to see what kinds of coupons sell best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Tips for selling coupons on eBay:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure that the coupons do not expire before your auction does (obvious?)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Save the coupon as an image or PDF, and then email it, or have the bidder download it when they win.  Do not just point to the actual site where you found it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;For the next two items, you can get a little higher selling price, but you are going to have to be able to download the items on demand, burn them onto a CD and ship them to your customer.  The deal with these next products is that since they are free in the first place, you can only sell them on CD.  Here you are providing a service for people who have slow internet connection and do not want to try to download huge files.  Also, some people just do not know any better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MP3 Audio Books: &lt;/span&gt;Selling MP3 Audio Books on eBay is a simple enough task.  The majority of your time will be spent on downloading books that look like they sell well on eBay and then creating nice store listings for them.  I say store because you are going to have to list a lot in order to sell a few every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Where to find Free Audio Books to Sell on eBay:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;There are several sites where you can download free MP3 audio books to sell on eBay.  A couple of them are: &lt;a href=&quot;http://freeclassicaudiobooks.com/&quot;&gt;Free Classic Audio Books&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://librivox.org/&quot;&gt;LibriVox&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Tips to Sell MP3 Audio Books on eBay&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you have a DVD burner, that is great.  I recommend that you get creative with your audio book package.  I would try to sell individual titles as well as compilations by author or genre.  For example, you could list something like &quot;Alcott, Little Men, Little Women Audio Book Package.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As with selling anything on eBay, you need to do some homework, find out what sells, and how to go about marketing it.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To see what kind of audio books sell best I suggest that you use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hammertap.com/?afid=2089&quot;&gt;hammertap&lt;/a&gt;, it is a great program which lets you know what the top keywords are, and what sells best on eBay in every category.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Open Source Software&lt;/span&gt; :  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;My last tip is to sell open source software on eBay.  Selling free software is a great way to make some extra cash in your eBay store.  There are a lot of different free programs that you can download, burn to a disc, and then sell.  The best place to find a comprehensive list of these items is at &lt;a href=&quot;http://directory.fsf.org/&quot;&gt;Free Software Directory&lt;/a&gt;.  I recommend selling a variety of different things from this site, such as image, video, and audio editing software.   I also recommend trying to sell an alternative operating system like Linux, as well as the MS Works alternative, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Tips for selling Open Source Software on eBay:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure you read the copyright information on each item before you attempt to sell it.  I know that it is ok to sell OpenOffice on CD, but I am unsure about many of the others. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is a good idea to bundle software if you can fit it all on one CD, or DVD.  Sell a photo editing program with OpenOffice, and maybe a website editor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Now, if you are really serious about selling any of these free items on eBay it is going to take some effort to stand out.  Since they are free, you are going to have to do some work to your auctions and images to make them really stand out.  I recommend that you read the following posts to help make your auctions stand out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;post-title&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2007/02/how-to-write-auction-description-that.html&quot;&gt;How to Write an Ebay Auction Description that sells&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2007/02/importance-of-pictures-in-ebay-auctions.html&quot;&gt;importance of Pictures in eBay Auctions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/three-free-products-you-can-sell-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-4644595704055417515</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 02:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-11T18:48:33.943-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Changes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">USPS</category><title>USPS To Raise Prices in May</title><description>The USPS has created a yearly &quot;Price Adjusting&quot; Ritual.  The USPS just announced that it is going to raise its prices on May 12.  The price of a First Class Stamp is going to be raised to 42 cents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it does not stop there.  The USPS will be &quot;adjusting&quot; all of their prices.  Though they have not announced the rate increase for Priority or Express mail yet.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a taste of some of the changes they are making now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Large envelope, 2 ounces, $1, up 3 cents.&lt;br /&gt;• Certified mail, $2.70, up 5 cents.&lt;br /&gt;• First-class international letter to Canada or Mexico, 72 cents, up 3 cents.&lt;br /&gt;• First-class international letter to other countries, 94 cents, up 4 cents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s hope that these increases are not as high as they were last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck eBay Sellers, the Feedback and Fee Changes combined with raised shipping fees are not going to help anyone.  Hopefully your transition into June will not be too bumpy.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/usps-to-raise-prices-in-may.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-2216192630099146486</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-10T10:28:02.889-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Auctions</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Tips</category><title>Building an eBay Brand  - Consistency is Key</title><description>While doing my free eBay consultations I have noticed a pattern: many eBay sellers are not building a brand through consistency.  I have seen a lot of sellers not using logos in their stores, or at the top of their auctions.  Even more importantly, I have noticed a lack in auction template consistency.  If you want a free logo, please just sign up &lt;a href=&quot;http://forms3.createforms.com/71087/form_1_1.html&quot;&gt;here,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and write &quot;free logo&quot; in the notes section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing you can do to brand your eBay store is to have ONE auction template.  There are lots of places to find a free generic template on Google, or you can have someone build one for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important thing is that you use the same eBay template in all of your auctions.  This is will save you time in listing, as you will not always have to add or edit all of your terms of sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other benefit of using a template is that whenever someone goes to your auction it will look like all of your other auctions!  This will make you look more professional, and will result in more repeat business, and more bidders buying multiple items.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/building-ebay-brand-consistency-is-key.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-1881585450846286769</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-09T23:13:55.325-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cash Back</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Coupon Codes</category><title>eBay Coupon Codes - Get Cash Back!</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;s=9548&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 77px;&quot; src=&quot;http://images.bigcrumbs.com/images/logo_save_earn128x79.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;eBay Promotions and coupon codes are few and far between.  But there are some ways to get cash back on your eBay purchase without having a coupon.  In fact, there is one very easy way to get cash back on all of your purchases without having to use a coupon code at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get cash back on all eBay purchases I recommend that you sign up for &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;amp;s=9547&quot;&gt;BigCrumbs.com&lt;/a&gt;  It is a free service that pays you the highest overall cash back available at eBay , and you can also get cash back at 233 other online marketplaces.  It also has a referral program where you can make money whenever your referrals buy something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a service that I actually use, otherwise I would not be promoting it.  I just want to let you in on the eBay savings when there are no eBay coupon codes to be found.  So next time you are shopping on eBay be sure to consider &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=notablychic&amp;amp;s=9547&quot;&gt;BigCrumbs.com&lt;/a&gt; .  It is easy, and you get your cash deposited to your Paypal account every month.</description><link>http://ebay-selling-guide.blogspot.com/2008/02/ebay-coupon-codes-get-cash-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108940166284418357.post-9014572096755276224</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2008 04:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-12T18:39:16.383-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Consultation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eBay Tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">What sells on eBay</category><title>Free eBay Consultation: rgilbert15</title><description>Ron Gilbert signed up several days ago to have his free eBay consultation, but I have been putting it off because he appears to be on top of his game.

First of all, it is supposed to act as a case study in eBay selling.  I am hoping that you will learn what types of things to do in your auctions and stores, as well as what sort of things you should try to avoid.  Secondly, this free consultation is supposed to help the sellers by giving them personalized instruction on how they might improve or alter their selling techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in a free eBay consultation, please submit your information &lt;a href=&quot;http://forms3.createforms.com/71087/form_1_1.html&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it is time to get down to business.

She operates under the user name indiansteps, and her store is called: Denise&#39;s Bargain Bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denise sells a variety of clothing and accessories for men, women, and babies.
