How to Dominating eBay

Hi, Did you realized that every day eBay is packed with huge competition? There are millions of dollars passing through the eBay website into many accounts. I will help you to buy sell on eBay with the following four tips. I believed you will easily succeed and dominate the competition on eBay if you follow the tips.

1) Avoid negative feedback.
Remember; just simply resist the temptation to leave negative feedback if you happen to get a few bidders that do not pay. Leaving negative feedback will only result in possible revenge by the non paying bidder and as a result you’ll receive a negative feedback. Absolutely it’s not good for your business.

Keep in mind that you do not want any negative feedback right now. Another great way to build positive feedback is buying items off of eBay. Pay for the item immediately when you win an auction. The result will be positive feedback for you.

As long as it is positive, most buyers will not care whether your feedback came as a result of buying or selling.

2) Target first-rate feedback from buyers.
At the beginning when you first sign up with eBay, you will have zero feedback. As a result most buyers will stay away from an eBay newbie with zero or very low feedback.

One good way to get the feel of using eBay and to build positive feedback is by starting to sell personal items from around the house that you no longer want.

Therefore, item that you should invest is a good digital camera. Good clear pictures are an important selling feature for buy sell on eBay. Remember to describe your items accurately and sincerely. Do not try to trick or deceive buyers in any way because you really cannot afford receiving negative feedback this early in the game.

3) Be sincere about your auctions.
Do not ever use fraud in your auctions or try to make money with shipping costs. Remember, you will certainly be well on your way to building a reputation as an honest future power seller if you treat your customers the way you expect to be treated; absolutely, you will never go wrong.

4) Research is important before making wholesale purchases.
Now, you should be ready to start purchasing wholesale merchandise to buy sell on eBay. This is a result that you deserved after you have built a significant feedback rating. If you found some particular item you think might sell on eBay, first do a search of that item to find out what people are bidding. If it looks` hot’ then it is probably a good deal for you. If it does not appear to be getting many bids, you should ignore it.

The great way to find out the final bid price for a particular item is to do an advanced search for auctions that have already ended. You can avoid a disaster down the road with a few extra minutes of research. It’s also mean that you know the difference between making money or not.

Since eBay is the largest auction site in the world, there are people who make a living buy sell on eBay. In order to stay dominant, they will do whatever possible to fight the competition. That’s why you should follow these simple tips and you too will easily dominate the competition.

Using EBay Seller Central for Product Sourcing

Even though you know that buy sell on eBay can be fun and lucrative. But after you’ve cleared out your garage and loft, and auctioned off everything you have, where can you go to get new product ideas?

Tapping into EBay’s Resources
Most people don’t realize that eBay itself is actually a wonderful place to find product sourcing ideas. Besides being an easy selling site with built-in traffic, it also contains a goldmine of useful data about what that traffic wants to buy sell on eBay. One of eBay’s best kept secrets is their Seller Central page (http://www.EBay.com/SellerCentral). Very few people, even Power Sellers, are aware of this precious resource. Consequently, very few people are taking advantage of the tools available there:

1. The hot items section — this is basically a monthly trend-watching report to buy sell on eBay. It tells you what items are moving, producing more bids, and getting higher final prices. It lets you get a feel for where the demand is.

Whether you’re searching for products at a trade show or a rummage sale, Janelle Elms (http://JanelleElms.com), of EBay University, recommends, “Print this report and keep it with you at all times.” She explains, “If you don’t know what to look for, this will help direct and keep your mind focused to what’s moving on in order to buy sell on eBay.”

2. The merchandising calendar — this is a great spot to get sourcing leads because it shows you in particular what products to buy sell on eBay and what products will be promoting over the next few months. It gives you dates and tells you which item categories you need to list your product in for it to be displayed on eBay’s homepage. When a user clicks on that item, your auction will appear up right on the panel.

3. The hot categories section — this resource takes the top categories and gives you tips on how to sell in those categories, insider secrets about your buyers, and trending info. For each category, there’s a section called ‘In Demand’ that tells you not only the top-selling items in that category, but also the top keywords that buyers are using to find these items. For effective buy sell on eBay use those keywords in your listing titles. If you have any left over, put them in your explanation. Essentially, eBay tells you what to buy sell on eBay and then tells you how best to list it.

Catering to Your Customers
Elms also advised, “Don’t ever try to sell to the buyer what you think they need to own.” Users are already telling you what they want to buy, you just have to listen. These tools show you what consumers are saying they want and how they’re saying they want to find it; eBay users are ready to spend money with you. All you need to do is give them what they’re looking for.

Follow the above simple tools and you will find out later, buy sell on eBay is really rewarding, fun and exciting.

Australian eBay users will benefit fee cuts on the eBay.com site

A relatively small number of Australian eBay users will benefit fee cuts on the eBay.com site, as most Australian sellers operate under a different – and cheaper – fee regime at eBay.com.au.

The fee cut announced in the US yesterday has highlighted the confusion between the company's international and Australian operations, and suggest some Australian sellers who use eBay.com and not eBay.com.au may unknowingly be paying higher trading fees.

eBay said at the start of the week it would cut listing fees for the first 50 items put on the site by sellers, if those auctions start at 99c. The decision was greeted warmly, with many casual sellers saying the move would help them get rid of unwanted goods without financial penalty.

But the cuts only apply to sellers who list items on the eBay.com domain and not the eBay.com.au domain, which uses an entirely different fee structure.

eBay Australia told SmartCompany it is currently investigating how the fee changes will affect sellers here in order to inform them at least 60 days before the changes take place.

But this highlights an element of confusion within the eBay selling community in Australia, as some new eBay sellers may automatically sign up on eBay.com instead of using the local eBay.com.au domain and could incur higher fees as a result.

The differences between the two sites are highlighted in the local fee structure. While users who list on the eBay.com.au domain are charged a 5.25% fee for the closing price, plus an extra fee if the selling price is above $75, users on eBay.com are charged a flat fee of 9% capped at $US50.

Founder of the Professional eBay Sellers' Association, Phil Leahy, says there is some confusion between the two domains and there is the possibility some new users could sign up to eBay.com instead of the local URL.

"I think it does happen, and it would happen among new sellers. But not that frequently, I would believe, because many times the site automatically redirects you straight across into the new domain name so you list in the right area."

eBay Australia says it believes the difference between the sites are clear, and that sellers should be able to figure out which URL they are operating in once they start listing if an automatic redirect does not work.

"We think it's quite clear, as there are two different sites – although there are a lot of similarities, we think they are very different. They appear differently on the front page."

"They are also quite different when it comes to issues such as fees, and I can't see it being a problem. Sellers are quite savvy and they're aware of what region they are in when they are listing."

However, some confusion remains. Leahy points out there is an incentive for sellers is to list on both eBay.com and eBay.com.au domains in order to appear higher in international search rankings.

"There are a lot of nuances out there and sellers who don't know how to exploit that. They may have a product that is worthy of export, but don't have the strategy to get around that."

"eBay does have that box that says "list for the rest of the world", but if you're customers are in another country the seller's items come up lower in the rankings, because all the local results are exhausted before yours. Sellers should test for those types of nuances because they can differ from country to country."

Leahy himself says he has signed up on both the eBay.com.au and eBay.co.uk domains in order to widen his marketing reach. But he says businesses who do this should familiarise themselves with different fee structures.

"There'll be charging US dollars and the listing should come up as US dollars if they are on eBay.com, and the seller can work out fast if they are in the wrong spot. But yes, it could be confusing."
