Even if your investigation of eBook selling has just started, you are probably already knowledgeable about some of the basics. You have learned that there is a growing demand for information on a variety of topics and that eBooks are a great way to provide that information. There is, you have been told, a demand for eBooks.

What you might not yet know is that there are basically two groups of consumers who have an interest in eBooks. Deciding on the group you want to market will have a profound effect on your eBook business.

The first group is the one most of us initially thought of when the idea of eBook sales was first introduced to us. These are the people who have an interest in specific information, products, hobbies or other matters. Dog fans, for instance, may have an interest in an eBook on dog training. Fans of a best-selling author will have an interest in purchasing that writer’s eBooks. We can refer to this as the consumer market.

The consumer market is a rapidly growing segment for eBook sales. As people become more and more acquainted with nontraditional methods of information delivery and grow increasingly comfortable with technology, the eBook will continue to grow in popularity. If you have the right titles, put them in front of the right consumers, and offer the right prices you can generate impressive sales numbers with eBooks.

There is, however, a second market. That market is composed of people just like you–those who are interested in pursuing eBook sales as a means of generating income. You probably have less of an interest in what an eBook is about. Your concern, instead, is wisely placed on your ability to obtain resell rights and then to sell the book profitably.

As a member of this market, you are probably keenly aware of what is being pitched to it! People are offering you the rights to large bundles of eBooks inexpensively, maintaining that you can sell them separately again and again to generate huge profits. Others are offering you a single eBook at a very high price, arguing that it is a quality product with a huge potential readership that warrants your attention.

These two market segments, in essence, point someone who is considering eBook sales in one of two directions. Either they can focus attentions on finding books for end-users or they can concentrate on making sales to those who will eventually move the books on to end-users. For all of the technological and strategic advances of online enterprise, it seems the online eBook world mimics the traditional brick and mortar world in that one is usually either a retailer or a wholesaler. Of course, it is possible to perform both functions, but one will naturally tend to gravitate toward one option as a byproduct of the inevitable efficiency of specialization.

The approach one chooses toward the eBook marketplace will dictate which direction suits them best. Whether as a retailer or a wholesaler, there is great potential in selling eBooks online (particularly via eBay).

1. Determine if the product that you are going to auction is a one time sale or if you have a continuous supply of this item. This means that if it is a one time item that you are going to want to get the best price for it. The best way I found to do this is to put a reserve price on the item close to what you need to get out of it. I know that alot of people say that a reserve price will hinder the chances of selling an item, but it won’t if you try not to be greedy. If you have a continuous supply of a product, taking a $15-$20 profit is the way to go on something like a $200 Digital camera because you will have many more sales.

2. If you want a steady income on Ebay you need to find suppliers. The best way to do this is to determine what type of product you want to sell, and then start researching what that item is selling for on auction sites. Once you find a supplier that carries your product and you determine that you can profit at least 10% after your listing fees and Paypal fees if any, you are then ready to climb aboard the Ebay bandwagon.

3. The next thing you will want to do once you find the right supplier is to buy a few items to sell. This way you are going to test the suppliers quickness in getting the items to you. Also it is good if the supplier will dropship to your customers. The reason for this is sometimes you may get a item that is broke or scratched and you don’t realize it until it is time to ship to your customer. A dropshipper can send this item to your customer just like it came from you.

I hope these few little tips will help you get started in a hobby on Ebay or maybe a lucrative business.

Walk through any thrift store and you’re bound to bump into an eBay Powerseller or two replenishing their eBay inventory. The truth is there are still good bargains available at thrift stores for resale on eBay if you’re astute enough to spot them.

While it’s true you’ll probably pay more at a thrift store than you would at a garage sale, the prices for some items are still low enough for you to make a decent profit. The key, of course, is to do enough research on eBay to know what types of used items are hot sellers. And, I don’t mean a quick little glance. I mean really do your homework.

For example, if you’re interested in buying and selling used men’s shirts, go to eBay and perform searches for “used men’s shirt,” “nearly new shirt,” “gently worn” and all the other synonyms you can find for “used.” Go through the “vintage” category and the “collectibles – cultures, ethnicities” for Hawaiian shirts. Research the labels. Note any patterns and colors. Do some sizes sell better than others? (I always found I had a harder time selling men’s shirts in size small).

Do the same type of research with all the used items you may find at a thrift store: clothing, shoes, boots (especially used cowboy boots), purses, books (don’t ignore cookbooks – they can sometimes sell very well, especially the Betty Crocker Pie Cover cookbook).

When you find a thrift store or two (or, hopefully, more) that offers good quality used products go back often as new items are added every day.

With used clothing it’s very important to thoroughly check for any tears or stains, because once you buy it, it’s yours, you can’t take it back. I once bought several collectible Hawaiian shirts I had checked for tears and stains, but failed to check the collars. When I got them home I found they all had a bad case of “ring around the collar” which didn’t come out in the wash. Of course, I had to disclose that in my descriptions on eBay. The shirts sold, but for less than what they could have sold for in better condition. Also, check for any odors that may be tough to get out with washing or dry cleaning. (Do make sure you wash or dry clean all used clothing you list on eBay.)

While it’s true that used clothing and other items do sell well on eBay, your research will help you spot items with which you’ll actually make a profit. There’s a thought out there among some that you can slap anything on eBay and make money. Not true. If you don’t do your research you may find yourself losing money. Don’t just assume there’s a sucker born every minute and that anything will sell on eBay. Without proper research you might end up finding out the sucker is you.

I found that joining an eBay Membership site was the quickest way to force my eBay directly into PowerSeller status. However, before joining any site that makes such promises there are certain questions you should ask before parting with your membership fee.

6) Does it have a referral program?

If you find the site invaluable & recommend it to friends, family & collegues do you get rewarded for this? Enquire it they run a referral scheme, so you can recommend the site to others.

One things for sure, once you start selling successfully on eBay people will contact you to enquire how your achieved success. Depending on how whether they are competiting with you or not you may want to share your secrets.

7) Special Offers

Finally whatever digital products I purchase, whether an ebook, special report or access to a membership site I always try to get a special offer. So, don’t be shy. Look on the website to see if there are any special offers or even email the owner of the site & ask. The worst they can say is No, & you’ll join at regular price.

So that completes my series of what questions to ask before joining any eBay Membership Site. Good luck in your eBaying.

If you’ve studied business concepts you know that finding a customer can be the most expensive part of the sales process. Once you’ve got a customer why not maximize the money you’ve already invested in the effort?

This time honored business concept certainly falls under the category of going the extra mile for a customer. Assuming your product, customer service, packaging and shipping all work together to create a positive feedback posting, here are a few simple ideas companies have been utilizing for years to help them stand out from the crowd and maximize the return on sales dollars:

• A personalized thank you

• A drop in

• A thank you gift

Personalized Thank You

Every package you send to a customer should include a personalized thank you letter. Personalized means there is a salutary greeting such as “Dear Customer Name” and your personalized signature. Why personalized? Ever hear the old sales adage, “Don’t sell the product - sell the person?” It’s taught to sales professionals because it works. A friendly thank you note near the end of a good transaction (more on this later) reminds the buyer they are thought of as a person, not just another sale or number. A personalized touch in today’s impersonal marketplace is very refreshing.

The body copy of the note or letter is certainly up you but should be as specific to the transaction as possible (if you also include a packing slip/invoice the letter can be a little more generic). The goal of the note is to let the customer know they, and the sale, are important to you. Here’s a short example:

Dear (Customer Name):

I just wanted to personally thank you for your winning bid on our (product name), Item #11111111111, enclosed. Our customers are very important to us. We realize you have a choice in selecting who you buy from and we greatly appreciate your business - now and in future.

Sincerely,

(Your Signature)

Drop-ins and gifts

A drop-in or gift provide extra chances to say thank you, create customer loyalty, increase future sales, and maximize your return on the investment of finding your customers. As an example let’s say you’re selling pet supplies. For a few pennies each you can have refrigerator magnets printed like business cards that include your company name, email, eBay store, or website address. They can be as simple or complex as you can afford but only need to include something like:

Acme Pet Supplies (Your company name)

For All Your Pet’s Needs (A marketing line is a good idea)

Your Website Address (Either a link to your website or auctions)

Other inexpensive drop-ins and gifts could be something as simple as a business card, a sales sheet listing all the product types you carry, a gift certificate (to be used on your e-commerce website) for a future purchase, or an offer for your free newsletter. If you’re selling kitchen products you could include your favorite recipe, or if you’re selling poker supplies - a print out of the best starting hands might be nice.

Closing the Sales Cycle

Do you remember my comment earlier when I mentioned “near the end of a good transaction”? If you consider sending the product (with a thank you note, drop-in or gift) the end of the sales process you are missing another great opportunity to increase sales and improve you customer relations. Don’t consider the sales process completed until you send your valued customer one more email. About a week or ten days after shipping the product, send a follow-up email such as:

Dear Customer Name (again, make it as personal as possible):

Just wanted to follow up on our transaction and make sure everything went smoothly for you. We trust everything went well but if you had any problems please let us know. We are always looking for ways to improve our service and your input is very important to us. We will post positive feedback for you and hope you’ll do the same for us. We look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Thanks again,

Your Name

(Suggestion: To avoid spam filters, in the subject line of your email include the eBay or auction item name and number)

Are the efforts to include a note, a drop-in, a gift, and do follow-ups a little more work and expense? Of course, but with the aid of simple automation packages on your computer the follow-ups can be somewhat automated and the drop-in or gift will help you create a returning customer.

I realise that this may come as no great revelation to you, it may not even be news. What it is, in fact, is a word which describes most ebayers. And here it is:

Procrastinator!

I think that describes most of us to an extent. You see, I um-and-ah… and generally delay on making decisions. Right now, for example, I’m umming-and-ahhing about finalising my grocery list. And I really need to get out and tidy the back yard….
But I find myself procrastinating once again. There’s always an excuse.
Now, I have to admit: this ‘procrastination problem’ is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, but it’s still not right. You see, I’ve learnt that the less I procrastinate, the more gets done, and the better I do.

What does this have to do with eBay? I’m getting there.

Let me hazard a guess: if you’re reading this, I’m betting you’ve procrastinated on one, two or more of the ideas… and that’s bad. Very bad! Because even if you’d tried something, that ’something’ would have given you some feedback - even if it was only ‘failure’ feedback, which can be very useful in itself.
But before you decide to do anything on eBay - even before you decide to procrastinate - you need to make a decision, if that… er… makes sense. A decision on which, I hope you won’t procrastinate!

And that which you need to decide is simple: what kind of business you’re going to go into. Or, more specifically (to start with), what type of model you’ll follow.

See, there are only really two main models of business that you can go into on eBay. The first is where you’re selling the same product(s) over and over… and over. .. again. The second relates to buying one-shot items… rare stuff and the like… one-off items that you buy, the onesy-twosy approach. You then resell each individual item in turn for (hopefully) big profits.

You just have to make up your mind which ‘model’ you’re &oing to opt for.
There’s pros and cons to each. As always.Let’s consider, first of all; the onesy-twosy approach. We’ll call this ‘Model 1′.

Model 1: The ‘Ones And Twos’ Approach

This is a perfect part-time approach towards eBay success. You can do it when you want. You can create customers that stay with your forever… apd who will LOVE you. You can virtually see the smiles on your customers’ faces as the latest offers arrive.
And you’ll get great returns (often) on each item that you auction off. Ten times your money is far from uncommon. Even 20… or even 100 (or more). These are all perfectly attainable returns for your auctions. Not much money invested = great return gotten out.
But there’s a downside, too. Your income is more variable and, quite frankly, it’s a much more time dependent business model. You’ll have to know the market, and as such you’ll be the one hunting for ‘product’ every week. Not that there’s anything really wrong with that, especially if you really like what you’re trading in.
There’s a corollary to all this too…
And that’s this: your earnings will probably be capped. Because of the time-dependency factor. And the fact that YOU will virtually ‘be the business’ so you’ll never build a really big business. Probably not, anyway.

So what’s the other approach?

Model 2: The “Sell The Same Items Over And Over Again”Approach

This method involves buying a stock of the same item and floggings said item(s) over and over again. Again, there are pros and cons.

The pros? Well, you can build bigger. Once you’ve got the source of supply, there’s not much work thereafter. You just list, then relist. And then go and sunbathe, particularly at this time of the year. What’s more you can build BIGGER, because the business can be less dependent on you. Sounds great, huh? Actually, it is.
So what are the downsides?
Firstly, there’ll be much more price-based competition. It can be quite cutthroat. If there’s a big market for what you’re selling - and there probably will be if you’re going into that market - then there will probably be people already there who will be competing against you. Unless, of course, you’ve got a truly unique product that no one else has.

Secondly, there’ll be lower returns available. Let me explain what I mean. Let’s say that you’ve got a selection of items for resale with ‘Model 1′. This means that you might have bought these ‘onesy-twosy’ items for £40 each. And you might sell them for £120 each, or one for £300, some for £80, and so on. But the point is that you’ll be getting an outstanding return on your money.

Well, with the ‘other’ approach…well, it’s a lot less likely that you’ll get a big return on your stock investment. You might make 20% on your stock. Invest £500, get back £600… BUT you’ll sell more product, and more often. And you can build very big (in eBay terms).

So Which Approach Is For You?

Depends on you, what your free-time situation is like, what you want to achieve from your eBaying, and so on. So you need to know where you’re coming from, and where you want to go. If you’re short on time, wanting to make money fast, and just want a part-time eBay business, then it’s probably best to start with Model 1 (the one-off approach). If you’ve already gotten some eBay experience under your belt, have more time and are up for the challenge that lies ahead, go for Model 2. Of course, feel free to disagree too!

Here’s something else to think about…

Let’s say that you start with Model 1. You go along nicely, making some profits. You’re still part-time. You can then use that basis to work from, and launch other eBay businesses as you go along. Make sense? You start part-time, build up your knowledge and capital base, and then work from there.

Or how about running two of these side by side? It’s totally doable, believe me. But that again will depend on YOU, and it certainly wouldn’t be recommended if you were just starting out. And, of course, you’d reed the time to do this. There’d certainly be quite a bit of work involved. It wouldn’t be for everyone.

But that would be something, wouldn’t it? That way, you’d be spreading your risk - diversifying if you like because you’d have two separate streams of income. You’d build up two individual supply sources, customers, e-mail lists and so on, and you’d be lowering your risk should the worst happen in one of your ‘mini businesses’ .

Ideally, you’d also trade under separate ID’s for the two trading approaches. It might seem a bit strange to your bidders if you’re telling them to ‘Check your other items!’ when they’re looking at your stereo equipment. They check your other items and find a bunch of old dolls that you’re auctioning in your ‘Model l’ business! Not a very good idea. So you’d (ideally) want two separate ID’s.
But I think I’m getting ahead of myself here. Because, coming back to what I was saying at the start…

None Of This Can Happen if you continue to procrastinate! So what are you waiting for?
You at least need to think about which approach is right for you, in line with your current circumstances, and how maybe you want to see them change too. Just don’t procrastinate too long on the path you want to follow.

Online sales of used books, music and videos increase every year. But more than ever, those sales happen at fixed prices on Amazon Marketplace, instead of eBay auctions. Recently Amazon has brought more buyers to its used marketplace, most of whom prefer transacting immediately at fixed selling prices and standard shipping fees.

Amazon has grabbed an increasing share of used book, music and video sales because used items from Amazon’s third-party merchants are displayed right alongside Amazon’s new products. So casual shoppers browsing Amazon with the intention of purchasing a new book for $18, for example, notice that a used copy is offered for $8.

To be sure, a significant portion of used book, CD and DVD sellers still prefer eBay auctions. If a seller has a full collection of one author’s books, for example, the collection can often be sold at a higher price as a package deal on eBay. A seller with one copy of each book written by Stephen King could sell the whole lot for a much higher price than the books would sell for individually at fixed prices on Amazon.

And many booksellers continue to believe that single copies of truly unusual, highly collectible books still bring a far higher price at auction on eBay, compared to selling at a fixed price on Amazon.

Nonetheless, most online sellers today maintain active seller accounts on both eBay and Amazon, to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket.

How much are your used books worth? Today it’s relatively simple to determine their value, since most used titles are listed for sale online. For commonly available books, an average of the prices displayed on popular venues such as Amazon.com and eBay will provide a good indication of the market price. Supply and demand rules. If you price your copy much higher than competing offers, odds are you’ll wait a long time for a sale.

See a real-time list of the most highly sought after used and collectible books.

Ask most people what Aida is and they will tell you it is an opera set in Egypt. Ask a marketing person and they will tell you that it is the sales formula that all advertising must incorporate if it is to succeed.The letters stand for:

A Attention

I Interest

D Desire

A Action

It is a formula that can also help you write better ebay auction listings.

It does not matter how well your description is written, how good your product is or what terrific value it represents if no one knows about it. So how do you grab people’s attention
and get them to read your listing?

We know that the majority of potential bidders will start by going to eBay’s search engine.
So the important thing is to get as many key words or phrases that they might use into your title. If I am looking for a Rolex Oyster wristwatch I might type in Rolex, Oyster or wristwatch
into the search engine. If you have a Rolex Oyster Wrist Watch for sale at £25 I will not even find it if your listing title is something like “Amazing Value Top of the Range Quality Watch”

The secret is to think like a buyer. EBay offer you some tools to help you gain attention. If you cannot get everything in your title that you want you could pay an extra 50p and add a sub title or go for one of the other enhancements that eBay offer. Only testing will tell you whether these are worth it for your products.

Having gained attention and got people to read your listing you have to get and maintain their interest. The very best way to do this is to answer the question that we all have in the back of our mind when we read any advertising, “What’s in it for me?” If you description starts by outlining what the item is and then details the benefits it offers you will draw the reader onto the next stage which is to create the desire to own the item. One of the best tools to create desire is visualization. Phrases like “Just imagine how you will feel wearing a top of the range watch” or “Just think as a Rolex owner you will standout from the crowd”.

So far you have done really well in attracting potential bidders attention, getting their interest and arousing their desire but unless you can get them to take some action it will all have been a waste of time. So how do you get them to take action? It is quite simple really you just ask them. “If you don’t want to miss this wonderful watch bid now.”

This has been a brief introduction to the AIDA formula but I am sure if you keep it in mind while you are writing your listings you will see an increase in bidders.is to be successful.

Have you tried to register a decent eBay username and been
frustrated at the poor names left available? With over 125
million people using eBay in 2004 it is understandable that a
lot of the good ones have gone.

How important is registering a good eBay username (User ID)
anyway? Well that depends - you may be wanting to register a
username for business use so getting the right one would be
important. Alternatively you may just be a casual user looking
to register a new bidding or selling username and are trying to convey the correct image.

Either way you can bet that the one you want has gone and that
sometimes leaves the less than desirable alternatives available.
There are however still thousands of good names left
unregistered out there - it is just a matter of finding them and quickly!

Now a pretty unique and innovative free tool is available
to help you hunt down a good name - in fact a varied selection
of good names! http://www.auctionusername.com

This tool displays a large number of available names and
can even suggest ones to meet your requirements! The more keywords you enter the more varied the username suggestions returned.

Don’t settle for a poor username that conveys the wrong
image - remember this is how other eBay members will know you!

This month I have encountered two small problems which have affected my eBay business. If I had spent a little more time thinking about the design of my auction listings, these problems could have easily been avoided and I would have had more time to spend on other things instead of editing tiny mistakes in nearly 100 listings. There have been many similar occasions in the past where a little more forward planning would have avoided me redesigning all my eBay auction listings. Therefore, my advice to you in this issue is to think carefully about the design of your auction listings. More time spent on your listing now can mean MUCH less time spent redesigning them in the future.

Now the two actual problems I encountered this month were the down to my PayPal address and my eBay ID. The first problem was that for some reason the Pay Now button in eBay was not working for all customers. This led to me getting many emails from buyers saying the Pay Now button is not working, or worse many people sending payments to one of my email addresses that was not registered with PayPal. The end result was me having to explain and solve the problem via multiple emails to multiple customers. So how could I have avoided this problem? Well in my actual eBay listing and Payment Policy I made no reference to my PayPal email address but included all my other email addresses. I overlooked including my PayPal email address in the listings simply because I assumed that the Pay Now button would work at all times. Obviously not. I have now amended all listings to include my PayPal email address and thankfully since then I have had no PayPal payments sent to the wrong email address.

So now all seems fine and dandy with my eBay listings when 2 days ago I received an email stating that I needed to change my User ID because the previous one made reference to this website. Now on eBay you can get away with this type of User ID for a while but sooner or later eBay will catch you out and make you change it. I knew this so really I should have chose a more sensible User ID instead of trying to get a little extra traffic to my website. So how does this affect my listings? Well in every listing I include a link to my eBay feedback and eBay About Me page which now needs to be changed. So that means more fun for me as I will have edit all my eBay listings yet again.

So you may be wandering OK but what’s the point of this story. Well you (and hopefully me as well) can learn from my mistakes. These two examples illustrate how just a LITTLE forward planning would have saved a LOT of time for me and can do for you too. I will give you a few things to think about when designing your auction listings but you may think of more.

1) Ebay ID:- When choosing an eBay ID you need to think about using one that both reflects your line of business and also sticks to eBay policy. I know that it may be tempting to use **yourwebsitename** as a User ID but that is a violation of eBay policy and they will make you change it eventually. If you have to change your User ID then you have to change every Feedback and About Me link in all your listings. Choosing a User ID which is within eBay policy will save you a lot of time in the future.

2) About Me Page:- Do you have an About Me page? If not you should get one as it is one of the best promotion tools you have on eBay. If you do have one you really should link to it in your auctions as from the About Me page has much fewer restrictions than your other eBay pages (for example you can link to your own website). If you want to promote yourself on eBay the About Me page is the best way to do it and the best way to increase traffic to your About Me page is promote it fully.

3) Ebay Store:- If you have an eBay store then it is essential that you provide a link to it within your auction listings. Many customers who view your auctions will not know that you have an eBay store or if they do they may not know exactly what one is. If you want to maximise your sales potential you need to make as many customers aware of your eBay store as possible. Putting a simple sentence at the top of your auction listings such as “Can’t wait for this auction to end? Then Click Here to purchase it right now from my eBay store” will give your eBay store maximum exposure in your eBay auctions.

4) Email Addresses:- Make sure that all relevant email addresses are included in your auction listing. Your PayPal email address must be in here to avoid similar problems to the ones I experienced. All the email addresses you wish to be contacted on should also be included as well. For example I include my PayPal email , my delivery enquiries email, and my general enquiries email. Even if you only have one email address which is the same as the one associated with your “Contact the Seller” you should still include an email link in your auction description simply because it makes it easier for the customer.

5) Ebay Store Custom Pages:- If you have an eBay store you are allowed to design custom pages for whatever purpose you see fit. If these custom pages are in any way relevant to the auction then you should include a link to them too.

6) Images:- Have you put in all the images you want to use to promote your auction. If not make sure they are all included. What about your eBay store? If you have one then a store logo is a great way to promote your store, make you look more professional, and hopefully increase traffic and sales.

These are just a few of the many things you should consider before listing an item on eBay. I am sure you can think of many more. These rules are especially applicable to ebook sellers on eBay because you will be constantly re-using the same auction listing to sell an ebook because you have an infinite supply. Getting the listing as close to perfect now will save you a LOT of time in the future. Good luck!!!
