 Increase My eBay Sales

I guess that along with most of the other sellers out there in the great world of eBay, you have often said to yourself  ”If only I could increase my eBay sales” – now let me think you have made some notes, tried to look at other sites, and then sat back gave a sigh and said how do I Increase my eBay sales.

Well stop looking, stop reading, stop giving up…………………….. Honest it is real simple and has been staring you in the face for ages, right from the day you joined eBay as a seller.

First off there are many different ways to increase you eBay sellers and each one will work, but today I want to tell you about a very simple, very easy, and all it takes is a few clicks of a mouse, and then to turn up the heat just takes a few more minutes, but if you just follow the few clicks your sales will increase.

You need to sell worldwide, or in as many countries as you can. 

Step One – You need, to scroll down to the international postage section.

Step Two – You need to choose the flat rate section.

Step three – either choose worldwide or just the countries you want to sell to.

Now a tip here you have the UK postage will can be free or what ever, then on your Worldwide postage work it out for USA or Australia and once you have sent it, you can refund the difference if it does work out cheaper.

By doing that simple step of selling overseas and setting a worldwide post you item is visable on all eBay countries.

But, don’t you just love those buts…………………………….. If you are selling your item as a Buy It Now listing it will not appear on the eBay.com site unless the buyer has enabled there default setting to show international sellers.

To be on the safe side and to have your items appear on the eBay.com site you will need to go to eBay.com and list your item there. 

Now to go a big step forward you could if you wish list on each of the other eBay sites in the language that they use. For example if you can speak german, write your listing in German and list there, same for French, Italy etc, etc.

The advantage of doing this is that your item will appear in each country in their own language and not english, very simple but also powerful, very power.

So try it, by first choosing worldwide shipping and see the difference it makes to your views and then your sales. And soon, you will no longer be saying How do I Increase my eBay Sales.

Happy Selling

eBay Confidential

How many times have you wished that there was a real magazine that talked about eBay and online selling – (by real one that comes in the post). Well there is, it is called eBay Confidential.

eBay Confidential is written by a real person who has been active selling both at offline auctions, flea markets, markets, car boots, and then she found eBay. Avril Harper
who is the editor is someone who walks the talks and has multiple Powerseller accounts. (And her powerseller accounts are high volume ones. Also she has taught her daughters well as they too are powersellers.

I have known Avril Harper personally for a good many years, years way before eBay and the internet, and I can tell you with a hand on heart that she is a genuine person who cares for her readers and her clients, and everything that she writes gives you 110% over what you pay for.

Avril has taken her writing and her experience and she was approached by Nick Laight a very well known publisher and was asked to edit an eBay magazine. And eBay Confidential was born

“If you think making money on eBay is
something other people do, then read on…

Give me 90 days and I’ll show you the
easy-to-follow home-based plan that could
make you £1,000 a week – in fact I’ll guarantee it!”
Click here to find out how:

Each month (apart from July and December) you get an action packed magazine, full of helpful hints, tips, ideas and sources to help you take that next step in your eBay selling. Although the magazine is written by a British person and has a British publisher all the hints and tips can be used by other eBay users in other countries.

i suggest if you want to take that next step on the eBay ladder and learn from a person who walks the talk then eBay Confidential , is for you and after the first copy or two you are not happy then you have a 100% money back guarantee. What more could you ask? So go on and give it a go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The name again is eBay Confidential

Another Product Sourcing Tip

Today I had a few hours to spend in our Local town. I had gone in early to do some banking etc, and later on in the day our Church was doing a Walk for Water Walk – This was a walk of 4 miles (4 Miles is how far a child has to walk to get fresh water or as fresh as you can get in third world places).

Anyway I decided as I do not drive would spend time in the towns shops to look for trends and not get bus home.

I looked in the local charity shops and bought some items which I will be listing later on eBay, but I also went into our two book remainder shops.

So todays article is about buying items from this type of shop. Now before you all get excited and head off to this type of shop, Yes you can make nice profits on items but you can also make a loss. What you need to remember is these shops often sell books, DVDs etc that the normal places cannot sell.

Anyway in the one shop I saw a stack of DVD’s produced by the BBC so they were all good quality, all brand new and all still sealed. Each DVD was priced at £1.99 – so I got my trusty Internet friendly phone out and checked a few titles out on eBay and also Amazon, sadly some were no good, but around 8 titles were listed for prices like £8.99 upto £14.99. These were all buy it now prices so I new people were buying. Also checked the completed listings and this gave similar data.

I bought 5 DVD’s and will again list these this week, and will let you know how I get on.

So there you are another high street product source for you where you can buy hundreds of different items to sell. But please do some research before you buy – either on an internet phone or a computer.

Happy ebaying
