5 eBay Selling Tips for Newbies

1.  Buy a scale.  It may sound simple, but purchasing a scale can save you a bundle in shipping.  If you’re just eyeballing the weight of the package, you can often times guess too low, and be in for quite a shock when you go to the post office and see the package is going to cost twice what you thought to ship.  


2.  Know the dimensions of your packaging before listing the item.  Some packages cost more to ship because of their dimensions.  Knowing the weight alone isn’t enough.  


3.  Offer the buyer a variety of shipping methods.  Some prefer speedy delivery with Express mailing, while some prefer to save money with parcel post even though the wait is longer. It’s always a good idea when using parcel post or other slower ground shipping to alert the buyer by email that it can take anywhere from 8 to 10 days. 


4.  Save yourself money whenever possible by using boxes that have been used.  Most stores are more than happy to let you rummage through their old boxes and take some home with you.  But, do remember to choose boxes that are presentable, secure and strong enough for your items.  And, if you have breakables, don’t skimp on the bubble wrap.


5.  Give yourself a small handling fee that will cover your expenses.  Some sellers add on an additional $1 or $2 to the shipping fees for their handling fees (depending on the cost of the item and how much packaging you have to use).  I really advocate doing this because your expenses will add up if you do a lot of selling on eBay.  Be sure to be upfront with your buyers that you have a small handling fee so they can’t complain about it later.  


Being fair to both yourself and your buyer will keep you both happy, and keep more of your profit in your pocket.

Easy Niche Store Script

This is a tool/script to setup Niche Store for putting eBay RSS feeds into your website. It's using php (in my opinion, one of the secure script) and allow you to display Ebay products via RSS.

The advantages of being able to do this are:

= You can add an instant Niche store to your website or existing ecommerce site to 'boost' your product offerings

= You can make money through ebay through referrals. The Ebay affiliate code (from Commission Junction) is embedded in all the links

= You can build an entire Niche shop site with dynamic links through to ebay products

This script is also compatible with Wordpress, Zen Cart and Joomla. EasyNicheStore works with the following countries:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.

You could get the script at the price of $45 USD. The price is cheap compare to what you will earn in return. You could see the demo version for FREE.
