Being an editor of the UK Auctionline E-zine I receive a lot of e-mails from subscribers. Typically the particular question they will ask is, "Please tell me a simple way to generate profits on eBay." Perhaps the correct answer to this specific question actually revolves around how you will explain the definition of easy.
It is indeed my perception that there's absolutely no easier method to earn cash over the internet other than by selling items through eBay. Just what exactly could be easier, a simple 5 step process.
1. Grab something to sell.
2. Photograph it, as well as prepare a persuasive brief description.
3. Upload your listing to ebay.
4. Collect your payment from buyer.
5. Deliver the item to your buyer.
What could possibly be easier than that?
However, I think what people are actually wanting to know is how do one's easily have products to trade. With my experience it's this that both beginners as well as some experienced eBay sellers find difficult. Therefore in this post I will just solely to highlight 5 really straightforward ways that you could find items to trade without even leaving behind your laptop or computer. I wish that'll be straightforward enough for everybody.
1. What, no photos?
It's my belief that there are hardly ever an item listed on eBay or even any of the other online auctions that doesn't reap the benefits of using a photograph or image as part of the listing. In actual fact many items that are listed without a picture that basically sell tend to get 20% lower than those with. In some categories the figures tend to be even higher. For instance apparel offered and not using a photo average at 78% lesser selling price compared to those with. Therefore it might seem to be really simple to browse eBay looking for these "photo less" listings, acquiring them and next relisting with a image. Cash for old rope really.
2. Locating the poorly listed product.
Plenty of good reasons why someone's product does not bring in any worthwhile bids. Terrible title, short or very poor description, completely wrong category, bad spelling and so on. You'll find these by looking around eBay, however I'd personally advise an easier way.
Simply find the categories that you're attracted to and look down the search function for listings closing within the next hour or so. Here is where you just might discover the good deals that have failed to draw in any kind of bids for the factors we have just mentioned.
3. Odd hours
In any publication about eBay selling you will find great tips on when is the ideal time for online auctions to end. One of the most recommended times for most products are Sunday afternoon and evenings or Thursday evenings. A number of industry experts suggest that for business related items, Monday or Tuesday throughout work hours would be best. Should you accept that often times you will get higher prices for bids for your goods, there should also be times when your auction ends at not so well in price, or not as you expected. I'd personally believe if you have a listing that will end around say 4 am to 7 am on a Monday morning you'll not have too many people lurking to put last minute bids to kick the price upward. Again purchase and list with your auction set to complete at a much more sociable time period and you could easily earn a 20% or even more profit for little or no effort.
4. Purchase Collectible
One of many easiest ways to earn a living on eBay is to benefit from other peoples laziness. If someone has, for instance, a set of ten china dog collectibles, it is a proven fact that when they put all 10 in one auction as a collection they will get less as compared to if they had auctioned each item individually. Nevertheless it's amazing the number of sellers cannot be bothered to do this. We have during the past bought this type of collection and actually made more from one of the items than I had paid for the entire collection.
5. Other online auction site.
Over 95% of online auction sales are taking place on eBay. They have the greatest number of signed up buyers and items listed for sale. Because of this items offered for sale on eBay receive the best prices. So why not look around a few of the less well-known internet auction sites, mainly because in many cases products listed on those sites will never attract this kind of good prices as could be done on eBay. Therefore all you have to do is to buy from them and then relist on eBay.
So there are actually five easy ideas you can consider. Why not give some or perhaps all of them a try.
