Drop Off Ebay Auction Sites
Before you are tempted to get lazy and not list your item yourself, it pays to investigate the fees you will incur by utilizing an ebay drop off site. These businesses boomed (in my humble opinion) several years ago when the ebay name was becoming as well known as […]
Step #9 Fun With USPS
Ok, it took me several years to jump on the online postage wagon. I drug my two lovely children to the post office about every two days, scads of boxes in tow. The looks I would get from the other customers! Not because my chidren misbehaved or […]
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 #6.1 (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. […]
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 #3.5 The secret called Picture Manager
Before I go further into the do’s and don’ts of picture taking, I first must make sure that all readers are aware of ebay’s picture manager photo hosting subscription service. My personal opinion is that ebay does little to promote this option-they make more money if the average seller pays per photo. […]
