Many people have established a good business on eBay by selling products. eBay is a auction website where more than millions of products be sold every day worldwide. If your new to EBay you must be thinking why should I do business on eBay and not open a new ecommerce website? Well the answer is simple eBay is free and a own online store has to be paid for web hosting, own domain and maybe other web tools. If you want to be a success in having a online business on eBay read these tips below.
Review reputation -Make sure you have a good product service and that you always deliver the goods on time. The buyers will have a option to review you about your product, if you have a bad reputation nobody will want to do business with you.
Product niche -Try to specialize yourself as a expert in a product your selling. When doing this you will always know more about the product then your competitors and you can maybe take advantage of your product by knowing all the tips and tricks other sellers don't know.
Dropshipping -If you don't want any hassle or problems with shipping just join a dropshipper company. Dropshipper's are wholesalers who always handle the shipping and orders. Also if you have no room for stocking dropshiipers are the ideal option because dropshippers always have a won warehouse were they stock al the products for you. All you have to do is buy the products you want to sell from the dropshipper's and they will send the products to your customer from there own company, without involving you in any stress or hassle.
So for example you have a ebay business and sell video game consoles like Xbox 360 or PS3 all you have to do is send the order of the customer to the dropshipper company and they will ship your products to your customer from there own warehouse and don't worry about the profit, you will get all the profit's available on the sales you've made.
Photos -People who are selling there products on eBay for the first time, it can be hard to sell products for the first time because nobody will know if you are a scam or a real seller. So place some own made photos of your products on your product selling page. This will show the buyer that you really own the products and that you are no scam. It will also let the buyer know how the product looks like?Is the product damaged?and other helpful stuff.
EBay Store -Once having products to sell build a eBay store and focus on 1 type of niche. When people search for the same niche on the search engine on eBay, they will be able to see all kind of store's that have related products for sale. And if your store is top notch and selling well buyer will be able to see your store on the search results.
Affiliate products -If you have nothing to sell on eBay you can still make money, you must be thinking how?Well another way to make money on eBay is by selling products for affiliates. By doing this you will earn commission on every sale you make. So if you think about this carefully and lets say you are selling a e book for a affiliate for 49$ and you will make 50% commission on every sale. That means you will making 24,5$ per sale. Think about you selling 1000 of these books in 1 month you will be making 24,500$.
Before you start a own business don't forget to do some research on what the best selling products are on eBay. If you don't you will be facing a risk that you will start buying products from wholesalers and you will find out that nobody buys the products you are going to sell. This would be a big advantage because not only you've made a poor start ,but it would be a big blow to your own confidence.
