The US unemployment rate is over 10% recently. To feed their families, many ex-employees turn to the Internet and sell their unwanted stuff or unused items in their attics or closets on eBay. Selling on eBay doesn’t have to be a headache if you know a few tips.
Search for drop shipping companies
You can take the worry out of your daily life by searching for drop shipping companies online, especially from China, and email them for the product pictures and prices. Then top up around 30% to 40% and start putting it in your account to sell on eBay. China is chosen for its reliable service and very affordable price after conversion. When you make a sale, simply let the drop shipping company know so they can ship the sold item on your behalf. They may even put their name, address, and company name on your behalf before shipping the sold item to your customer. This will eventually save storage space if your home lives in a small apartment that is tight on space. In addition, you save time in managing and publishing the articles to concentrate on taking care of your family and children.
Post to Twitter and Facebook
You can make quick money on eBay by posting to your Twitter and Facebook accounts. With a 140 character limitation, you can post a short tweet on your eBay listing so that your followers can click on that link and be directed to your eBay sales page. If you’ve added a lot of friends on Facebook, you can post the eBay home page to your Facebook account and add item pictures for instant publicity and free exposure. Alternatively, you can choose to advertise on Facebook for a certain nominal fee for further publicity. Since millions of people are addicted to Twitter and Facebook, you will undoubtedly make quick sales by using these social networks to your advantage when selling on eBay. Many successful eBay sellers are turning to a variety of online social networking and advertising sites to increase their chances of making a sale and hitting the jackpot!
That’s why you can find platinum sellers on eBay who are very successful in making sales with satisfied customers who keep buying from the same person with undivided loyalty. Customer satisfaction is important to maintaining your eBay business over the Internet.
Allow multiple types of payment
PayPal is by far the most common payment gateway for eBay, which has bought the site. With just an email, you can transact and purchase items on the spot. As a business owner selling on eBay, you need to allow multiple forms of payment to your potential customers. This will eventually bring higher profits and faster income from buyers around the world. For example, a potential buyer may not be able to use PayPal in Africa or their account may be limited or blocked. Therefore, you cannot use PayPal to purchase the item listed on your site. By allowing other forms of payment, such as wire transfer or accepting checks, even if it is slower, you can earn more from potential buyers on all continents.
