#1 Selling Item On Ebay

By Robert Willinski

Like most of us online we have been selling on ebay with not much success.

Well the obstacles in your business are the underlying cause for virtually every failure on eBay and kill almost all your business. The thing about it, is that making money on eBay couldn't be any easier. All that's necessary is finding products that you can "buy low and sell at a profit". This is the secret of making money on eBay -- but it's also the hard part. And this is precisely where many of the so-called how to make money on eBay courses miss the mark. Half-truths about Internet auctions have proliferated around the Web like an epidemic. It seems that everyone is offering a course about eBay about some wholesaler.

And so none of the programs adequately address the number 1 question that's on every seller's mind: "Where can I find items at ultra-deep discounts necessary to generate the big profits on eBay." Right.....

But not only do these courses fail to answer questions -- they merely focus on the initial phase of building a business on eBay. Although learning the basics is important, and will help you make some money at first -- clearly these starter kits do not give you the insider strategies needed to grow your business.

And whats even worse is the fact that the courses are typically written by self-proclaimed marketing "gurus" -- many of whom have never sold anything on eBay -- or anywhere else for that matter.

Obviously, with such a lack of adequate training material available, it's no wonder why so many people abandon their hopes of making money on eBay. Can you blame them?

So here are some quick and easy tips to making a fortune on ebay

1. Set your account up properly. This is overlooked many times in the beginning and will stop progress quickly

2. List your items correctly with no mistakes in the spelling. One mispelled word can cost you the sale or place your item in the wrong area.

3. Take clear photos The sale many times hangs on the photo ...So take great pictures!

4. Look at other auctions. This is a short cut to see how you stand up against others......use their ideas also!

5. Free Shipping changes things This is where customers compare you to others...be free if you can.
