How to Earn Money on Ebay
Ever wonder how people earn money on Ebay? Well, did you know that the majority of those people do not sell their own products? It's true, and if you keep reading, you will discover the secret to how they earn money on Ebay without investing in any products. And in case you are wondering, the answer is not dropshipping.
Step 1:
Invest in a cheap digital camera that takes good quality photos. You will need this digital camera to take photos of items that you will be selling for people in and around your local area. Yes, you just discovered the secret: listing and selling other people's unwanted items on Ebay.
Step 2:
Sit down and figure up the percentage of commission and other fees that you want to charge. The normal fee for this service usually runs around 30% or more. If you plan to pay the Ebay listing fees yourself, you could try to figure those fees into your percentage to ensure that you come out ahead and not lose money, because the point of this is to make money. If you would rather charge a certain percentage for commission and the listing fee, then you need to let your customers know they will have to pay the listing fees as well as the percentage fee.
Step 3:
Advertise your Ebay selling service to people in your local area.
Step 4:
Grab the phone book and write down the names and phone numbers of all the pawn shops in the areas you are willing to travel to.
Step 5:
Call the pawn shops you just wrote down. Explain your service to them and ask if they would like to schedule an appointment with you to learn more and get set up to sell items they would like to clear off their shelves.
Step 6:
To gain more customers, call all the local papers in your area and the areas your willing to travel to. When you reach someone, ask him or her how much it would cost to run a text ad in the classified section of the paper.
Step 7:
Figure up how much it will cost you to run a text ad in each of the newspapers you just called.
Step 8:
Write a short text ad to place in each of the newspapers you called. Here is a sample ad that you are more than welcome to use (replace the x's with your information):
Do you have unwanted items that you don't have time to sell yourself? Well, you're in luck! Give me a call today and I'll sell all those unwanted items for you. You keep x% of the sell and I'll keep x%. I'll meet you at your place or in public to take pictures of the items you have to sell and discuss the details with you. Ready to get those unwanted items out of your way? Call xxx-xxx-xxxx for more information and/or to arrange for pickup!
Step 9:
Create flyers to hang up in stores that are located in the areas you plan to travel.
Step 10:
By now you should have appointments with potential customers, so your next step is to keep those appointments. Once you meet with each potential customer, explain what fees they will pay, ask them questions about the items you will be selling for them and write their answers down (questions to list about the item), and then answer any questions they may have. Also, find out if they know how much their unwanted items are worth. If they do not, then let them know you will be happy to find out for them, and tell them the research is free--a part of the service you are providing.
Step 11:
Let each customer know you have to take the item(s) with you in order to take photos and ship them to the winning bidder. Your customers may not feel comfortable doing this, so it is best to have a contract written up for you to both sign and date.
Step 12:
If you need to research to find out approximately how much some of your customer's unwanted items are worth, do this now. Then call the customer to let him or her know the value, and ask what the minimum is that he or she is willing to sell each item for. After all, it is their item, and by doing this you are allowing them to have a say. Before ending the conversation, let your customer know what you'll start the opening bid at. Point out that each item could sell for more than the minimum price set.
Step 13:
Take pictures of each unwanted item with your digital camera. After taking the pictures, download them into your computer and save them in jpeg or gif format.
Step 14:
List the unwanted items on Ebay with a well-written, detailed description of each. Don't forget to include the photos.
Step 15:
After you have sold the unwanted items, immediately ship them to the winning bidder(s).
Step 16:
Create a receipt for your customer (refer to photo for a sample).
Step 17:
Call your customer to arrange a date and time to meet and give him or her their money and receipt.
Step 18:
After you have given your customer his or her money, see if he or she has any more unwanted items they would like you to sell for them. If not, leave your business card and let him or her know they can call you when they have more unwanted items.
