Step #7.1 (Continued) Paypal Payments
Paypal is a very easy way for your bidders to pay you on the Internet. It is widely used and if you wish to do even a moderate amount of business on ebay it is an absolute necessity. Now, with that being said, I must say that the fees are the pits. […]
Step #7 Pay me, please
So you have come up with a good, eye catching title, honed your photo skills, decided that it is ok to ship overseas and weighed your package. You have now reached the payment section on the sell your item form. You do want them to give you money for your item, but how […]
Step #6.2 Help me ship my package!!!
For those of you who have sold on ebay before, you are allowed to skip this post, and maybe many other posts, and read something else. Many of you have entertained the idea of selling before, but for whatever the reason, have never taken the plunge. One reason may be that you are […]
Step #6.1 (Continued) Shipping Overseas-Customs Forms
For every package that goes overseas, you will need to attach a customs form declaring what you are shipping. There are two forms for customs that are used but only one per package is required (which one you need is determined by size).
For smaller packages there is a CN-22 slip that is used. […]
Step #6 Shipping Options: Is it dangerous to ship overseas?
Ever since I started on ebay I have shipped internationally. I view overseas sales as just another bidder, who may or may not have great command of the English language. The risk was greater back in 2000 than it is today.
I will ship to any country in the world that has postal delivery. […]
Beware: Replica Designer Handbags on eBay
While researching for another post, I was perusing some auctions of Gucci handbags. As a result, I must comment on the number of fake, non authentic handbags and accessories being sold on ebay. The sales are rampant, and I abhor the fact that it is allowed. Bottom line, replica bags are illegal […]
Step #5.1 Satisfaction Guaranteed
Do you remember your first purchase on ebay? Maybe it was even back in the day before Paypal, and you sent a check or money order in the mail. Not without some trepidation, I am sure. Everyone could be a potential crook! They may never send me my item! Or, […]
Step #5 “KISS” Your Text
Growing up, did you ever have an English teacher who came into class, put an apple on the table, and then told you to pull out a piece of notebook paper and write a page describing the apple? Well, I didn’t either, but it sure is a good exercise in learning how to describe […]
Step #4 Continued: The Do’s of Taking Pictures
It sounds so simple: put good pictures in your auction. But then why are so many auctions filled with poor, out of focus shots? Still baffles me. Also, to remind you, it is a must to include multiple pictures in your auction. You are losing money by only including one picture. […]
Step #4: The Don’ts of Taking pictures
There cannot be enough emphasis placed on the importance of good photos in your auction. As you progress you will become better. I feel very strongly that the photos are much more important than the actual text of your auction. If your item has a very large blemish, the photo speaks volumes […]
