Selling On E-Bay

This is another popular business that a lot of people start out with. I must admit initially planning on launching my own selling site at E-Bay Philippines. In fact, I do have an account there. The idea is put on the backburner at the moment as I work on organizing my affiliate programs. 

As you probably know, E-bay is a popular online auction website that millions of people around the world use daily to find good deals on items they're looking for. You can sell anything you have at home. You can sell used or brand new products. A good strategy would be to buy wholesale items and sell them for a profit.

What skills are helpful?

You don't need a lot of skills to sell items on e-bay. An important skill would be your ability to market your items. It also helps if you can take photos of the items you're selling so potential buyers can see what condition the item is in. 

What tools are needed?

Well, you will need to register for an account with e-bay if you wish to sell items there. Also, plan on how you will be sending your item/s to the buyer. A registered courier would be a good idea. You will definitely need a computer with reliable Internet access to keep track of your sales. Plus, an online payment processor like PayPal is handy and convenient to receive payment. 

How do you get started?

Sign-up for a seller account with E-Bay. Plan to purchase items as well to build your user ratings. This is important to build confidence so potential buyers won't hesitate to buy from you. 

Include photos for items you're selling. This helps sell the items faster.
