Hi,
Someone asked me THAT QUESTION again today: 'What
Can I Sell on eBay?'; someone got their back up again
today and complained 'I work full-time (also: 'I am
housebound' / 'I don't have transportation' / 'I'm a sworn
recluse, I just don't leave the house for anyone!' / yada,
yada, yada!) and I can't get out to boot sales and flea
markets, there's just no way on earth I can travel to buy
stuff to sell on eBay!'
My usual reply to anything of that ilk?
'You don't need to leave home, you don't have to give up
the day job, you don't need to spend hours looking for
really fabulous, high profit stuff to resell on eBay. You can
do it all from home, sitting at your computer, any time of
day or night, and it's never going to get easier or cheaper
than this!'
That's because one of the very best places to find
products to resell on eBay is actually on eBay itself. I look
on eBay every day for stuff other people are selling,
usually stuff they are selling very badly, and very often I
buy whatever those people are selling and relist it later on
eBay. And make very good profits!
Usually referring to items bought in one place and sold in
another, arbitrage represents a very easy way to make big
money fast and is the process by which many of the
world's top eBay PowerSellers obtain their entire stock.
But arbitrage does not mean simply buying at flea market
or boot sale and reselling an item on eBay, or buying from
wholesalers or auction and reselling your acquisitions on
eBay. For most eBayers 'Arbitrage' means simply buying
items from other eBay sellers and relisting them later, free
from the spelling mistakes and other errors and
inaccuracies that caused those items to sell so cheaply on
their first eBay appearance.
It's a great way to make money but it takes time, it can be
boring and sometimes very confusing. It can also turn
nasty where the original owner realises they've helped
someone else to a very tidy profit.
All of those problems, and many more confronting the
arbitrage newcomer, have very easy solutions, which I'll
reveal to you now.
* Don't waste time checking listings with several days still
left to run which could still attract frantic bidding if the seller
corrects his mistake and revises the listing. Focus instead
on listings with just a few minutes left to run and no
bidders. Access them by clicking on 'Sort By: Time Ending
Soonest' at the right side of any eBay selling page, or go
* Use separate eBay accounts for buying and selling
arbitrage items. A disgruntled seller is much more likely to
realise his mistake where buying and reselling takes place
inside one account. You can have as many eBay
accounts as you like as long as you use a different email
address for each.
* Another way to avoid confrontation is to list arbitrage
items a week or two after their original listing or when
sellers are less likely to remember you and have already
left positive feedback.
* The best arbitrage opportunities exist where original
sellers misspell their product title and descriptions and this
is the easiest place for you to profit. But don't waste time
checking thousands of listings individually when you can
check the entire eBay marketplace in seconds at:
* Look for products other eBayers are selling
inexpensively in bulk, such as entire stamp collections,
complete shop contents, and so on. Dismantle and sell
your acquisitions individually with a good mark up.
* Sell on a different eBay site to that from which you
bought. This serves several purposes, not just to protect
yourself against unhappy sellers who may get jealous and
leave negative feedback. Selling on different sites also
means targeting different people with greater enthusiasm
to buy your acquisitions. A good example is where you
buy British Football programmes attracting little or no
interest on eBay's China site which sell like hot cakes later
on eBay.co.uk. Don't worry too much about language
difficulties: 'Chelsea', 'World Cup 1966' and 'Manchester
United' will usually be spelled exactly the same no matter
where they are listed.
Happy eBaying!
Until next time,
Avril

eBay As A Lead Generation Tool - Why
Is This Important For Your Business by David Whittle
***
There are a lot of things that eBay is used for such as
selling products and marketing your business. One great
thing is using eBay as a lead generation tool. There are
not many people that are doing this to help them with their
business. However, there are people that understand how
important it is to use eBay as a lead generation tool.
When you have a business online you have heard how
important it is to have a list. This is something that
everyone who is successful has. A list is something that
you can use over and over again to sell your products.
eBay is a huge auction site that millions of people are
either a part of or have heard of before. There are new
people getting onto eBay every single day. Using eBay as
a lead generation tool is smart business marketing.
There are so many people on there that are looking for
whatever it is that you are selling. By getting them on your
list you will be able to market to them more than once. You
just need to learn how you can use eBay to help you grow
your list. So why is it so important to use eBay to generate
leads for your business?
One: You can reach more people in one place. When you
are trying to build your list and generate leads online it is a
little harder to do when these people are not all in one
place.
Two: By using eBay to help you grow your list you know
that you will be targeting people that want what you can
provide for them.
Three: The people who get on eBay are already prepared
to buy something. They have already been pre-sold on
what it is you want them to get from you. They are willing
to part with their money to get your product.
These are just a few of the reasons why it is so important
to use eBay as a lead generation tool. You need to learn
how to use the power of eBay effectively. Once you do that
you will have an endless supply of leads that you can add
to your list.
This is one of the most powerful lead generation tools that
you can use. So take advantage of it and help your
business and money grow. You will definitely see your
business start to be successful when you know how to use

Misspelled eBay Auction Listings For Cash by Antony
Papas

Typlo, a web-based misspelled eBay auctions finder just
launched. The site states it provides a service to help eBay
users locate spelling errors in eBay auctions. This may
sound like a boring, unnecessary tool to anyone other than
over-enthusiastic English teachers, but the truth is - every
eBay members can save a lot of money using Typlo.
The following scenario may provide a better explanation:
eBay user "Playstation_Seller" would like to setup an
auction, selling the new Playstation 3 package. During the
process, a natural error occurs, and they misspell the word
"Playstation" . Since the vast majority of eBay users use
eBay's search function, this means all those users will
never get to see Playstation_Seller's auction, leading it to
end at a significantly lower than expected final price.
This is where Typlo comes in. The website is very straight-
forward: A simple search box is presented. After filling in
the search box with the requested eBay product, and
clicking the "search" button, Typlo performs an instant
search of all relevant typing errors for the specified item,
presenting the user with all available items.
Searching for "Playstation", as an example, instantly
shows hundreds of results. This gives any eBay user
literally hundreds of opportunities to obtain the item they
are searching for, at a considerably lower cost, simply
because most people don't use Typlo to locate auctions in
this innovative way, and the misspelled auctions never get
noticed by 99% of eBay users. This usually means the
misspelled auctions end at a considerably lower final price.
No-reserve, or low-reserve auctions are favorites for Typlo
users: An item with a $200 market value can easily go for
under $50 if the item title is misspelled.
