In this chapter of Ebay, we’re going to get right into what you will need to know in order to set up and run a simple business on Ebay. Hopefully, after reading this whole series, you’ll be able to do just that.
Let’s get one thing out of the way. The reason that Ebay works is because the number of people who are willing to do what is necessary to succeed on Ebay is relatively small. So if you have what it takes and don’t mind hard work, this just may be for you.
While this series is not going to make you what they call a powerseller overnight, it will provide you with the foundation that you will need should you want to take your Ebay selling to the next level. There are people making $10,000 a week and more selling on Ebay. There is no reason you can’t be one of them.
Okay the first thing you have to do is get registered with Ebay if you haven’t already done that. Simply go to ebay.com to get started. After you register, go through the members area so you know your way around. Ebay can be a virtual maze, so make sure you know where everything is.
The next thing we’re going to do is start small. Yeah, I know, you want to go contact a drop shipper and sell millions of dollars worth of product in a minute. Do yourself a favor. Look around your house first and see if there is anything laying around that you can sell. That’s how most people start and that’s how I want you to start in order to get your feet wet.
After you do that, read this entire series. You’re probably wondering why I’m having you get items to sell before you even know what to do with them. I’ll tell you why in plain English.
Many people, after they learn how to do something, feel that it’s something that they can’t do. It’s just human nature. We’re so afraid of failing. This way, having already put in all that time to find articles to sell, you’re going to be more likely to follow through because you don’t want all that hard work to go to waste. That’s also human nature. Once we start something, no matter how hard or even futile, we just can’t seem to stop, even when we realize how impossible what we’re trying to do is. Well, Ebay isn’t close to being impossible. It’s really very easy.
You’re going to have to take photos of all the things that you are planning to sell. Photos are big with Ebay sales. No photo basically means no sale, no matter what it is.
In our next chapter of this series, we’re going to pick up with some things that you should and shouldn’t do. This will be a checklist of some of my personal hot topics. Ignore them at your own risk.
See you next time.
