10 Benefits Of Opening An eBay Store

Whether you are just getting started or are an experienced eBay Power Seller, having an eBay Store is a wonderful way to reach potential customers you may not get through eBay auctions.

Here are some benefits having an eBay Store can provide your business:

1. More Profits - According to eBay, sellers with eBay Stores see an average of 25% increase in their total sales within three months of opening store. You will also save on listing fees since store fees are significantly lower than auction fees on eBay. EBay also offers storeowners promotional offers and free subscriptions to some of its services.

2. Regular Customers - People who buy from your eBay Store are more likely to turn into regular customers if you provide excellent customer service after the sale.

3. Professionalism and Credibility - A professional looking eBay Store makes you look more professional as an on-line seller. An image of professionalism adds to your credibility in customer's minds. As an added benefit, an eBay Store gives you access to eBay's Business Resource Center, where you can download templates for professional looking business cards and much more.

4. Save Time - eBay Store special features, such as longer listing periods and automatic re-listing, will save you time.

5. You Have Your Own Website - When you open an eBay Store you have a unique
URL you can promote both on and off eBay. Your eBay Store will be picked up by
search engines just like other websites are.

6. You Can Personalize Your eBay Store - With eBay store customization features you can control the look and feel of your store. You can create up to 20 categories to fit your individual inventory. Buyers will see what you want them to see, how you want them to see it.

7. Your eBay Store Has It's Own Search Engine - Include your own Search box in your store and buyers will be able to find exactly what they are looking for when they are in the buying mood.

8. Special Promotional Tools - With an eBay Store you can cross promote other items you choose to buyers and you can choose what items to cross promote. You also get access to eBay Stores Email Marketing Tool - a great way to keep in touch with your customers. Additionally, if your store qualifies, you receive free monthly eBay Keyword listings.

9. Free Monthly Reporting - All storeowners receive free monthly sales reports that recap your sales activity by category. You get information such as monthly gross sales, conversion rates, number of buyers, etc. Plus, if you have a Featured or Anchor Store, you receive overall eBay marketplace data to benchmark your sales against other eBay sellers. With Accounting Assistant, you can export date from your eBay and PayPal accounts directly into QuickBooks.

10. The First 30 Days Are Free - eBay offers a free 30-day trial.

How Many $100 Picture Books Did You You Pass Up at that Last Sale?

I found a great ebook this week that tells you what Children's books you absolutely want to pick up that will bring you big profits. It's another great resource to have while you're out at garage sales, flea markets, book sales, etc. You can learn more about it at http://auctionriches.com/valuable

Also, I just received these two emails this morning about my Garage Sale ebook -

• HI Robin - I used the book today and found some great treasures!! Awesome book. thank you so much. Already paid for itself in the first hour of garage sales. ~ Janet H.
  
• Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your new book Garage Sales Strategies. I thought I would be taking you up on your satisfaction guarantee and asking for a refund, but was really surprised at some of the items listed in your book. Two days after reading it I was at the Goodwill and spotted a FM convertor for AM radios and remembered it was in the book. The money I will make selling it will easily pay for your book. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for such a great resource and look forward to any updates you might come out with. ~ Kevin G.

Don't Give Out Your Credit Card # for "Free" Stuff

Just something I'd like to share...

If you have to give your credit card number for something that is FREE - then, it's not really FREE and you better be reading the fine print.

One of my readers recently clicked through a Google ad and ended up on the Auction Freeway site. It sounded like a good deal so he signed up. Then, he proceeded to get mad at me and requested a refund on his Auction Riches membership because he followed that link because of me and they started charging him a monthly fee for surplus alert that he felt they tricked them into.

Now, don't get me wrong - I am sorry this happened to him - and I do not want their ads showing up on my sites at all because I do think the way they do business is wrong. (Hopefully I have them blocked on my Google Adsense now) But for someone to blame me because he gave out his credit card number to someone else - well that's just wrong.

In any case, I revisited their site tonight to read the fine print. Of course, the fine print isn't available on the first screen - you can only get to it AFTER you give them your contact information.

Read the terms and conditions when you sign up for something - because there are people out there like this.

Here is their fine print... (which happens to be gray in color on top of a little bit lighter gray background - another reason to be suspicious!)

Your Auction FreeWay kit will ship out of a warehouse in Salt Lake City within the next 2-3 business days. Your kit is the perfect tool to start a home-based auction business. You will also enjoy a free trial membership to SurplusAlert.com, where you can buy thousands of name brand products at up to 90% off. Click here for the complete terms and conditions of the trial membership. By submitting this application, you agree to the Privacy Policy of this Web Site, the SurplusAlert.com free trial, and to the following statement: "I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CONSUMER TRANSACTION INVOLVES A NEGATIVE OPTION, AND THAT I MAY BE LIABLE FOR PAYMENT OF FUTURE GOODS AND SERVICES UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT IF I FAIL TO NOTIFY THE SUPPLIER NOT TO SUPPLY THE GOODS OR SERVICES DESCRIBED."

NEGATIVE OPTION?! That's a red flag there people. Hit the X button and run. Don't be taken by these guys or any other sites.

READ THE SMALL PRINT and DON'T give your credit card number for something Free...JUST SAY NO!

Be responsible for your actions and please don't blame someone else. This is not the first time I've received negative email about this company. Apparently they also give away one or more of my free eBooks which in some people's eyes, makes me a part of what they are doing.

Rant over...

Adsense Desktop Software

I have just recently started playing with Google's Adsense program. I found this software not long ago and downloaded the Free trial version. I fell in love with it immediately! It sits in my tray and pops up and shows me my adsense income for the day whenever I want it to. Yes, I can login to Google to find this information out if I want, but this does a great job of making it EASY. Plus, it gives alot of comprehensive information and graphs.

Download it and try it for free... if you're like me, you'll be buying the full version before long!

Will The eBay Fee Increase Lower Your Profits?

[Terry Gibbs wrote the following article for his monthly newsletter. Terry is a consultant to antiques and collectibles dealers, and teaches advanced eBay selling strategies.]

Will The eBay Fee Increase Lower Your Profits?
by Terry Gibbs

I read an article earlier this week in the Wall Street Journal. The writer interviewed a few full time eBay sellers who complained about how the higher fees would cost them money and hurt their businesses.

I thought this was quite funny. My eBay fees have declined from about $2000 a month 18 months ago to under $100 a month currently while my inc0me tripled.

The article said 21,000 people have signed a protest petition. That’s a lot of whiners who are doing nothing constructive to improve their businesses.

One of the complainers moaned about the ten cent increase in eBay picture hosting. This is absurd because anyone who is serious about selling on eBay should not be using eBay photo hosting.

You see, while the average person spends 90 cents per auction on eBay photo hosting, serious eBay sellers host their own images for next to nothing. Just by spending a few hours learning how to use an FTP program, you can host your own images for as little as 4.95 a month. That’s for all your images.

Additionally, when you host your own images, you get more control over them. Rather than using a 300 by 400 pixel image, use any size you want. Because there are no additional costs for extra images, you can put as many images as are needed into your auctions.

Another seller complained that her margins were so low, the higher eBay fees would consume all her profits. That’s just sad.

In fact it breaks me up. . .

Not into tears, but rather into laughter. Here’s a woman who is too lazy to spend her time sourcing higher margin items with low competition.

Then again, maybe she is too cheap to spend a few dollars of her meager profits on a book or video learning how to find higher profit items she can sell on eBay.

Another one of the complainers said he was going to learn how to do Pay Per Click advertising and stop selling on eBay. That’s quite short sighted.

Have you ever heard the phrase “multiple streams of income?”

With online businesses you need multiple streams of traffic.
eBay is one of the top places on the web where people who spend money hang out. To walk away from eBay because of a small fee increase is just plain stupid.

Obviously these fearful sellers have never heard the phrase.
. .

“Work Smarter Not Harder.”

All these sellers have one thing in common. They started selling things on eBay, and never improved their skills.
They never learned how to get the highest prices on eBay, and just blindly continue to waste time and money.

I’ll give you an example of wasted money spent on eBay fees.
I did a search on eBay for items listed with a ten dollar opening bid. I got so many responses the eBay search system rejected the query, so I limited it to just auctions with the word old in them.

Right now on eBay there are 4233 items with an opening bid of $10.00 and the word old in them. (Feb 2, 2005)

That’s over a thousand dollars in wasted listing fees right there.

You see, it costs 25 cents more to list an item with an opening bid of $10.00 than at $9.99. These are sellers spending quarters to get pennies.

When I first looked at how many people were listing items with a $10 opening bid, I found over 40,000 auctions. That’s ten thousand dollars a week. Now, six months later, the number is even higher.

This same behavior applies at all starting prices, with even higher wasted amounts.

The difference between starting an auction at $49.99 and $50.00 is $1.20. Right now on eBay, there are 1203 auctions with a fifty dollar opening price and the word old in them.

I said all these whiners had one thing in common. Actually they have two things in common.

First, they never increased their skills.

Second, they are still caught in the treadmill of selling one item to one buyer, and then listing another item to find a second buyer.

Let me say that again in another way. These people make all their sales through eBay selling one item at a time. Maybe they do store listings or multiple item listings, but each sale is a unique event. There is no follow up with buyers.

Even worse there is no attempt to get people who just look at their auctions to leave eBay and check out their websites. Think about it.

Last week one of my eBay listings was looked at by 140 people but had only high bidder. The other 139 people are interested in what I sell. Over the course of a month about 60 percent of the people who visit my sites come from eBay.

Now I know some of you are thinking, “but eBay won’t let me put a link to my site in my auctions.” That’s true, but you can still link to your site from your eBay me page.

It just becomes a matter of getting your auction viewers to go to your me page. That’s not hard at all. It just takes time to learn what to do within the rules.

I mentioned earlier that these whiners featured in the Journal article would be better off improving their skills than complaining. That’s learning.

You are on the right track because reading Auction Riches News is a great way to improve your skills.

There are other free ways to improve your eBay selling skills.

For example, you can spend an hour or two reading the articles online. Ask questions on discussion boards to get advice from others. Or learn by testing different things in your auctions.

Do these free activities, and you will certainly improve your skills.

But, there is a better, faster way to become a skillful eBay seller. Learn from someone who has spent the time improving his skills.

Someone like Robbin or me. My Auction Revolution package is based on selling over 12,000 items on eBay. I was one of the first big eBay consignment sellers. I learned this the hard way. One auction at a time.

You won’t have to sell thousands of items on eBay to figure out the best ways. You won’t have to use trial and error.

If any of the whiners in the Wall Street Journal article had read the Auction Revolution, they wouldn’t be complaining.
They would be looking forward to the lower level of competition that will result when the whiners stop listing items on eBay.

The Auction Revolution explains how to host your own images, what eBay listing options are worth using, and everything else you’ll need to know about eBay to maximize your profits.

More importantly, you’ll also learn how to drive people from your auctions to your websites through your eBay me page, and even get a special free report you can personalize and offer on your me page as incentive to check out your website.

Remember, I spent seven long years to learn everything you will learn in the Auction Revolution.

Use this link to find out how the Auction Revolution will revolutionize the way you look at eBay:

http://auctionebooks.com/revolution

The link above will take you to a page with an eBay Seller’s quiz. The quiz is a great way to identify areas you need to improve.

I hope you enjoyed reading Terry's comments on the effects of the fee increase. You should check out Terry’s site and at a minimum take the free eBay seller’s quiz.

To Your Success,

For a limited time, when you click on the order link on Terry’s Auction Revolution Site, you will get the opportunity to add his eBay Consignment manual to the Auction Revolution for only $10.00 more. That’s a great deal.

My Newest Web Site - Launched today!

GoldnJewelry.com - Christian Jewelry

Several years ago when we adopted our son, I quit selling on eBay as much as I used to. I concentrated my efforts more on my building my websites and helping others sell on eBay.

I've been wanting to get back to selling for quite some time so I finally decided on a product, found some sources, set up a new web site and started some auctions.

While I believe you can be successful on eBay without having a web site... I know for a fact that having a web site helps your customers buy from you in the future without having to go through auctions... which means more money in your (my) pocket.

Plus, I think I might be selling offline as well and the web site will help me keep in touch with those customers as well.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you my newest venture and hope you'll take a moment to take a look. I haven't added a link to my eBay auctions from my web site yet ... still haven't decided if I want to do that or not.

I'd love to hear your comments on linking, auctions, web sites ...etc. Please feel free to post your comments here anytime!

Thanks for looking,
Robbin

Check Out This Source for eBay Profits!

I just finished reading an eBook that I highly recommend to anyone looking for ways to find items to sell on eBay.

I've always been interested in checking out the storage unit auctions and when I saw this ebook, I immediately purchased it. It was written by an 18 year old kid and chronicles how he turned $10 into $3,000 and how you can do the same thing!

Matt not only tells how he made $2,990 from one storage unit, he also shares how to find them, what to take with you, what to do when you get there, how to beat the "big dogs" and more tips and tricks! These are simple things but things I wouldn't have ever thought of until I was already there and it was too late!

This eBook is perfect for any eBay seller looking for a source of cheap merchandise. But you don't need to be an eBay seller to makemoney from storage unit auctions, Matt shares other ideas of ways you can profit as well.

This is an easy read and what I learned is well worth the low price Matt is asking!

I think I might be dragging my husband out on an adventure this weekend!
