Tips for profiting on eBay
Strive to make at least a $10
net profit or 35% gross profit
per client. That's profit, not
sales. (A few sellers can get
away with making just 20% net
profit.) You'll work yourself to
the bone fulfilling orders of low
margin. If you sell below a $10
profit, be sure you have a
darned good reason or have a
plan of up-selling or
cross-selling with other products
that will ensure your profits.
Make sure what you sell is easy
to ship. Skip products that are
too fragile (like glass, pottery,
China) or too awkward or bulky
to ship (like furniture and heavy
equipment). You'll spend too
much time either researching
how to pack the dang thing
properly so it won't break in
transit, or you'll suck all your
time finding a box to fit or a
sourcing a transportation
company. It may not be worth it
to your client either because
they must pay the freight fees.
You simply can't profit on eBay
if it's not easy to sell.
Think beyond eBay and learn
about residual and passive
income opportunities. Selling on
eBay is no different from being
an employee (in either scenario
you're just trading hours for
dollars). An employee spends 8
hours at work, and an eBay
Seller spends even more hours
to make money. Your key to
true financial wealth is through
residual and passive income
from such things as royalties,
limited partnerships, affiliate
marketing pursuits.
Don't give away free shipping.
eBay has done studies to
uncover that buyers have
remorse on the shipping costs,
and to counter this
phenomenon they try to get
sellers to offer free shipping.
Don't fall for eBay's ploy! If you
do the math you won't recoup
your costs and your feedback
score and Detailed Seller
Ratings (DSRs) won't improve
much if any at all. You'll end up
paying higher final value fees
by incorporating the shipping
costs into your price, and you'll
give away all your discounts and
them some for the price of
postage.
Most importantly, eBay allows
buyers to rate you on your
shipping costs -- even if you
give it away for free. Trust us
that even if you give away
shipping, you won't have a
perfect five star rating in this
category. Rarely can you profit
on eBay if you give away free
shipping.
What is a PowerSeller?
You've probably seen the muscular PowerSeller icon on eBay and wondered
precisely what it means. Concisely, there are three standards that PowerSellers
retain:
- Consistently meeting sales volume established by eBay (starting with three
consecutive months).
- Having a total feedback of 98% or better positive feedback rating.
- Maintaining sales volume and positive feedback to retain the status.
SECRET: It doesn't take much to become a PowerSeller: in a nutshell you need
average sales of around $1,000 a month and 98% feedback or better and to
maintain Detailed Seller Ratings. Becoming a PowerSeller is easily attainable, yet not
everyone is capable of reaching these standards. There are many reasons for
failure, including not having enough inventories to sell, not having a friendly
Internet presence, not pricing properly, and not shipping wisely (just to mention a
few pitfalls). When you read the requirements below, you'll have a better
understanding of how attainable it is for you to become a PowerSeller. It's
inspiration to make it a reality for you.
PowerSellers must meet or exceed minimum guidelinesestablished by eBay for three
consecutive months and every month after to the status. eBay calculates your
monthly gross sales average by adding up your total monthly gross sales for any
given month as well as the two preceding months. Then they divide the figure by
three to see whether you qualify for bronze, silver, gold, platinum or Titanium
levels. eBay reserves the right to change the minimum gross sales requirements,
but the 2008 minimum SALES requirements in the U.S. were as follows:
- $1,000 for Bronze
- $3,000 for Silver,
- $10,000 for Gold,
- $25,000 for Platinum
- $150,000 for Titanium
Attaining a bronze level PowerSeller status isn't that difficult to do. Break
down the numbers you'll see you only need around $35 a day in gross sales for 90
days. Of course, if you don't sell $35 in one day, then you'll have to make it up on
another day. But it illustrates how little you really need to sell.
