Easy Tips for getting it right on eBay

Why your Terms and Conditions are a must on eBay
There are certain things you can do selling on eBay, and there are certain things you can't do selling on eBay.

All of these are laid down in eBay's Terms and Conditions when you first sign up, and if you haven't looked them up yet I strongley advise youdo - it can save a lot of hassle later if you fall foul of them. But are Terms and Conditions necessary on your eBay listings?

If you sell any products on eBay you MUST include your own Terms and Conditions of Sale. This isn't a condition set by eBay, it's more a question of common sense. Having said that, they don't have to be all legal beagle or anything, you don't have to put 'aforementioned', 'hitherto' or 'thereafter' or stuff like that in it.

All you need is straightforward plain English words telling everyone how it is. Give them a nice friendly set of rules they can easily understand so there are no misunderstandings on either side. Tell your buyers everything they need to know, but do it a way that won't upset them.

What do I say?
Whatever you do don't come across as rude or patronizing, that's the quickest way to lose a sale. Make sure you say what methods of payment are acceptable and what days you despatch goods, that sort of thing. If for example you can only get to the Post Office on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, put that in too. Always state how much the postage costs will be, and the method of delivery i.e. 1st Class, Parcel Post etc. Tell them anything you think they will need to know, but do it in a way that doesn't come across as curt.

Your Terms and Conditions are specific to you. It's how you operate your business. When people see your Terms and Conditions leave them in no doubt as to how you operate, so there are no misunderstandings before they decide to buy your product(s), but as I said before - be friendly!

If you're still worried about how to word it all, go on to eBay and find similar products to your own, then click on a few and see how they are wording theirs. Make a few notes and do the same. It isn't that difficult, but it is important to do it, and do it properly.

Hidden Secrets to Make Big Profits on eBay

How to find the buyers you want fast!
Probably eBay's worst kept secret is the 'WANT IT NOW' section, where buyers can place requests for specific items they want, but haven't been able to find anywhere else on eBay.

If you stop to think about it for a moment, this could be a potential goldmine couldn't it? Every day there are thousands of people posting requests on the 'WANT IT NOW' board of eBay desparately seeking to BUY! It's got to be a dream come true for anyone wanting to SELL on eBay. Today for example, there were 178 pages with nearly 9,000 different items being wanted (and that's only on eBay UK!), so it's easy to see that if you knew which products were in hot demand AND with almost NO supply available, you'd be able to step in and profit wouldn't you. Well, wouldn't you?

Won't it take ages to search?
Doing it the ordinary way - yes! I've tried it myself, and to look through everything can take hours! But what if you had some software that could do it all for you? And what if this software could search through ALL the postings and match up the requests with the numbers of suppliers already saying they can supply certain products, leaving only those with NOBODY to supply them. Once you have this information you'll be able to 'cherry pick' the ones YOU can supply and virtually name your price! That's what I call easy peasy!

Here's your chance to get in before everyone else. With Auction Inspector you will be able to tell which niche markets are saturated with eBay sellers already, and which ones are ripe for the picking - all in the time it would take to make a cup of coffee!

How does it work then?
Auction Inspector automatically ranks results from your search on their 'potential' - in other words how much demand there is for a particular item versus how many responses there are from eBay sellers. This 'potential' is expressed as a number, the higher the number the higher the 'potential'. Low or negative numbers mean there is little demand or too many eBay sellers already competing for those buyers.

Once you get the hang of using Auction Inspector it will enhance your eBay experience no end, making sure you stay one step ahead of any competition.

Quickly find demand for certain products using the keyword search tool. Searching the WANT IT NOW manually could take you hours, but Auction Inspector does it in minutes!

Where can I use it?
Auction Inspector is compatible with searching the eBay markets of USA, Canada, UK and Australia (with more to come in the pipeline) so in total there are many THOUSANDS of buyers desparately looking for someone to supply them - if only you knew who they were! Well, with Auction Inspector you can - and quickly!

Inside there is more information about the software and they give you examples of potential niches they've uncovered using Auction Inspector. If you're into making money from eBay then you definately want to check this out.

Back to Skool to make big profits with these eBay tools

How simple mistakes can make money on eBay
Did you know there are thousands of items listed on eBay everyday that aren't where they're supposed to be? These items have simply been misspelt in some way, and because of this easy mistake the seller could lose out on a lot of profit.

By the same token, if you are a buyer, and can find these 'mistakes', there's a very good chance you can pick up a bargain!

So how do I find these 'mistakes'?
Easy peezy, I'll give you the link in a moment. The real beauty of these tools is that they are totally FREE! If you use the tool for finding the misspelt items you will be able to see the great many products people have listed on eBay, but because they have slightly misspelt the title or description, it ends up somewhere it shouldn't, and with very few bidders - if any.

Ever notice when you type something in and it says 'Do you mean....?' Well, strangley enough there are a lot of people who, for one reason or another, simply ignore this and carry on. We now have a misspelt word that stays in the system, and it's these words that can make you a nice profit or a nice bargain.

How does this make a profit or bargain then?
Supposing you were looking to buy a Rolex watch on eBay. To save time you'd type in 'Rolex' which would take you to the listings for Rolex wouldn't it? Now, just supposing someone selling a Rolex typed in 'Rolix' or 'Rollex' instead when listing it, and didn't spot-or ignored- the 'Do you mean Rolex?' box, then their prized watch would end up listed in totally the wrong place, and instead of hundreds of bidders there were none, except perhaps YOU if you were smart enough to use the right tools!

There are a number of 'eBayers' now who've built nice little businesses  finding these 'lost' items, buying them a silly prices, and putting them back on eBay (spelt the correct way) and pocketed a nice little profit, thank you very much!

So where are these tools then?
There are 15 very useful tools for you to use to get the most out of eBay, so have a browse and see what you think. Once you've sussed out how they work you should be able to take advantage of any mistake that's been made with descriptions and titles.

Of course, if you are also an eBay seller as well as an eBay buyer, this should act as a wake up call to make absolutely certain you've spelt everything properley before you submit YOURS for listing, shouldn't it?!

Have fun with these TOOLS HERE and come back for more tips and tricks for the world of eBay whenever you can.

How Old can be Sold on eBay

How going back in time can bring you big profits on eBay...and you won't feel a thing!

How to find things from the past for almost next to nothing, and then resell them on eBay for HUGE profits!

I came across this eBook recently called Thrift Store Goldmines and at first I wasn't sure what to make of it. But delving into it a bit deeper I think this could be a very nice way to make money on eBay, and in a lot of cases - with hardly any competition at all!

Everyone wants to find products to sell on eBay that will make them good online profits. If you know eBay then you will know that sometimes it's very difficult to compete with a Powerseller on eBay, who will sell in large numbers - and they all seem to have the best products too! If you aren't prepared to stump up lots of money to buy these 'best sellers' in bulk - and not everyone can - then how can you compete?

What's the answer?

The simple answer is - you don't. What you do is find other products that are say one-offs, and sell them instead. If you came across several of the same item in a job lot for example, you could buy them and try selling on eBay as a job lot too! You can sometimes get a lot more money this way than if you tried selling them individually.

The beauty of Thrift Store Goldmines is that a lot of the work in finding these 'odd' items is done for you. Do you know that some of the most popular and profitable items currently selling on eBay are things from the past? You know the sort of thing, your granny's old vase that sat in her hallway for as long as you can remember, or those old china plates in the cupboard, or a set of silver teaspoons. There are literally thousands of collectors scanning eBay on a daily basis just looking for these vintage items.

What if I can't find anything?

If you haven't got any vintage things of your own, and your grandmother keeps looking at you oddly when you search through her cupboards, don't worry there are scores of places you can find them. Thrift Store Goldmines will guide you through where to look, what to look for, how to research and the best way to sell on eBay.

One of the really great things about selling vintage items on eBay is that 99% of the time there is NO competition! Just think about it. If you've got hold of say a vintage wooden spice jar for example from a Thrift Store or Second Hand Shop, it's hardly likely that anyone else will have the exact same item is it? So when you list on eBay, in the right category of course, the chances are that yours will be the only one of its type won't it?

I highly recommend you get a copy of Thrift Store Goldmines if you want to let the eBay Powersellers do their thing, and find a nice niche you can sell to with little or no competition. Thrift Store Goldmine is chock full of usefull information, and in addition to telling you all about selling vintage items, there are a number of FREE bonus books thrown in too, such as Pricing Strategy's and Listing tips as well as a handy Check List you can print out and take with you while you shop!

I'm off to look in my attic, I'm sure there's a pair of Great Aunt Mildred's leg warmers somewhere - or was it Uncle Henry's golf socks.....
