3. It is my belief that there is no easier way to make money
on the Internet than by selling items through eBay. What
could be simpler, a straight forward 5 step process.
10. But I suspect what people are really asking is how can I
easily get products to sell. From my experience this is
what both newcomers and some experienced eBayers find
difficult. So in this article I just want to highlight 5 very
simple ways that you can get products to sell without even
leaving your computer. This I hope that will be easy
enough for everyone.
15. Select the categories that you are interested in and look
down the search feature for items finishing within the
next hour. Here is where you will find the bargains that
have failed to attract any bids for the reasons we have
mentioned.
17. In any book about eBay you will find tips on when is the
best time for auctions to finish. The most suggested times
for most items are Sunday afternoon and evenings and
Wednesday evenings. Some experts suggest that for
business related items Monday or Tuesday during office
hours are best. If you accept that there are times when
you will get increased bids for your items there must also
be times when if your auction ends you will not do so well.
I would think if you have an auction that finishes between
say 5 am and 8 am on a Monday morning you will not
have too many people lurking to place last minute bids to
push the price up. Again buy and relist with your auction
set to finish at a more sociable time and you could easily
make a 20% or more profit for very little effort.
19. One of the easiest ways to make money on eBay is to cash
in on other peoples laziness. If someone has say a
collection of 10 china dogs, it is a fact that if they put all
ten in one listing as a collection they will get less than if
they had listed each item separately. But it is amazing how
many sellers cannot be bothered to do this. I have in the
past bought such a collection and actually made more
from one of the items than I had paid for the whole
collection.
21. Over 95% of all online auction sales are on eBay. They
have the largest number of registered buyers and items
listed for sale. For this reason items offered for sale on
eBay get the best prices. So why not search around some
of the smaller online auctions, because in many cases
items listed with them will not attract such a good prices
as could be achieved on eBay. Then all you have to do is
buy from them and relist on eBay.
22. So there are 5 easy ideas for you to consider. Why not give
some or all of them a try.
