A lot of internet marketers began by selling at Ebay. What was once basically the internet's biggest garage sale has now become the jumping off point for many an internet marketing career. If you've heard all the hype about internet marketing, and you want to see if it's right for you, then Ebay selling is a great way to do that. But you just have to understand that there are certain things that must be done right if you want to see success. Ok, keep reading to find out what you can do to greatly increase your odds for success on Ebay.
Choose your Ebay member name very very carefully. You need to consider how people will react when they see it, and what kind of impression it will create in their minds. It is advisable to create a business-like impression, so choose something similar, or close to, your real name or the name of your business. The prospective buyers will see you as being a business and will take your offers more seriously. Your member name should always serve to evoke positive feelings and memories, and always remember that your customers will never forget. If you achieve success with Ebay, lots of people will know your member name - so make sure it's something you won't mind lots of people associating with you. You can prevent possible headaches if you do research before creating your product listing on Ebay. Search for items that are similar to (or even the same as) yours. Check out the listings, and take into account how much the seller is asking for his product at both the "Buy Now" price and a starting bid on an auction. Be sure to take note of any auctions that have higher bids/views. See what works for you and what doesn't. After that it's just simply using that information to make your listing better than before. This is basic market research strategy. You're not copying, but you're analyzing ideas and approaches and then improving on them.
It's really good to be a verified Ebay member. Ebay's policy is to impose heavier restrictions on new members. You'll notice that if your account is verified more trust seems to be shown to you. The same kind of trust is not given to even much older accounts if they've not bothered to get verified. In addition to being trustworthy, you'll have more freedoms and won't be subjected to the same restrictions that non-verified accounts have to deal with. Ebay is a huge marketplace with millions of hungry buyers, so there is always room for more sellers. When you sell items on an auction site, you can think of it as running a typical retail business, except that it's online. With Ebay, you can start out as small as you want and scale it up as you go along; this way, you will discover if internet marketing is what you really want to do!
