Default Selling Online Share your tips and expriences!

hi guys ,
firstly thanks for viewing

i started out 3 days ago on ebay and has sold 2 items , i really didnt expect to even sell items on ebay , when i received my first email saying the items has been sold , i was shoked and excited.

If you are intending to set up a store on pushcart why not test the market with ebay , besides it's free and effective.
Ways to attract customers
  • Firstly sell cheap , that's obvious but giving in abit wont lose out.
  • Your items should contain keywords , example if you are selling a digital camera dont just put digital camera , what you should incude would be the model no. the condition , colour and does it come with the original packaging
i hope this little guide which i had created from 3 days experince would help you.

please leave your online shop URL or ebay store URL so others can take a look and give your experince on selling online thanks!

hm... i myself sell online accessories too and i think the market is quite saturated so although it's easy to get traffic for your site, it's difficult to get people to buy them. Your items gotta be really special, either tt or cheap. otherwise i think it's quite difficult to earn a living out of this online business.

Hi, don't mind not trying to 'pour cold water' as not so lucky for me in ebay but ok in Yahoo lor. Just something to share, if interested you all may read my comments under Selling on eBay & Yahoo! Auctions forum - Re: Build Your Reputation.

Well, it's all depends on individual and luck too.

Hi, not sure you're asking me or all of us... anyway, for me I use both b4. Ya, ebay.com is costly only tried once for that then realise if relist the ad. got to pay (interested parties please refer to the ebay website for details as not sure how is it now). Depends on individual as some can still sell off their items in ebay.com.

So 'suay' recently also got this yahoo customer unrated just make use of asking qn to post his/her website to sell. I just click as spam and deleted the qn. Do you all encounter any prob. in yahoo/ebay too?

Depends on your target market. If you just want to sell to local market use eBay SG, as those listed here will not be shown on eBay International websites. But it is free to list.

If your target market includes overseas buyer than the listing fees you will be paying on eBay.com is worth it as the number of potential buyers are HUGE! But remember you are also fighting against a MUCH MUCH bigger group of sellers. So the way you write your title becomes very important as someone who wants your item will most likely use the search function 1st, so your listing got to come out from that search.

Also, I feel is to pay for the gallery photo listing as it makes it easy for people to view your product without the need to click. Imagine the search results comes out to the thousands, most may just skip those without gallery photos unless it is really really much cheaper than others.

Cheers!
