A question to ask is what's your niche(specialty)?

You  want customers that will come back! Be a source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in your products will come back to you for them. You won't get return customers If you don't have products they will want over time.

eBay Series "Powerseller information & income info" Part 2

eBay Series "Powerseller Information & Income Info" Part 2

If you've ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make!
It isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay.

Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are you will find quite a few.
Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month!

• Bronze PowerSellers make at least 1,000 each month
• Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month 
• Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000 each month
• Platinum PowerSellers make more than $25,000  each month
• Titanium PowerSeller make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities on eBay. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay and some of them have been doing it for years now. Can you imagine that? Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for them. They don't need to pay for any store, staff, or anything else!

Even if you don't want to quit your job, You can still use eBay to make a significant second income! You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery each Saturday. eBay.com can make some significant side-income even as a "hobby". 

eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the real world constantly puts up. There's no job interview and no commuting involved.

If you can post things, you can do it!

It can be this simple:  If you know where to get something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay just buy a lot of something in-demand cheaply, sell it on eBay and you're making money already, with cheap set-up costs.

If you don't want to buy anything at first then just sell things that you've got lying around in the house.
Search through your house for stuff you never use and you can probably find quite a few money making sell able stuff just lying around your house!

So you want to get started now on eBay? There are only a few little things you need to learn to get started.
Our next post can give you the some great info!

eBay Series "The History Of Ebay" part 1

eBay: The Internet Giant first 10 years of business

Yes, you read that correctly: 10 years. eBay was created in September 1995, by a man called Pierre Omidyar, who lived in San Jose. He wanted his site then called "AuctionWeb" to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind(being auctions) in the world. The name "eBay" comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company's name was Echo Bay, and the "eBay AuctionWeb" was originally just one part of Echo Bay's website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar's broken laser pointer, which was sold for $14.00 dollars! 

Ha, Don't you wish you could get that much for a broken laser pointer now?

The site quickly became massively popular quite quickly, As sellers came to list all sorts of weird/odd things and buyers actually bought them. Relying on trust seemed to work remarkably well, and meant that the site could almost be left alone to run itself. The site had been designed from the start to collect a small fee on each sale, and it was this money that Omidyar used to pay for AuctionWeb's expansion. The fees quickly added up to more than his current salary, and so he decided to quit his job and work on the site full-time. It was at this point, in 1996, that he added the feedback facilities, to let buyers and sellers rate each other and make buying and selling safer.

In 1997, Omidyar changed AuctionWeb's - and his company's - name to "eBay", Which is what people had been calling the site for a long time. He began to spend a lot of money on advertising and had the eBay logo designed. It was in this year that the 1 million items were sold! The item was a toy version of Big Bird from Sesame Street.

Then, in 1998 - the peak of the .com boom - eBay became big business, and the investment in Internet businesses at the time allowed it to bring in senior managers and business strategists, who took in public on the stock market. It started to encourage people to sell more than just collectibles, and quickly became a massive site where you could sell anything, large or small. Unlike other sites, though, eBay survived the end of the boom, and is still going strong today.

1999 saw eBay go worldwide, launching sites in the UK, Australia and Germany. eBay bought half.com, an Amazon-like online retailer, in the year 2000. The same year it introduced "Buy it Now" and in 2002 bought PayPal (an online payment service).

Pierre Omidyar has now earned an estimated $3 billion from eBay. Now literally millions of items are bought and sold every day on eBay worldwide. For every $100 spent online worldwide, it is estimated that $14 is spent on eBay!

Now that you know the history of eBay, perhaps you'd like to know how it could work for you? My next post will give you an idea of the possibilities.
