<span style="font-size: x-large;">Before you start selling, get all the headaches out of the way first -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSkMzloG0OVr-cZ52UGgxdRrwBFYMHuUP0uAw_IJUTt3XnWv15N" />
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> AND GET PAID FOR IT!!!. First, open a bank account. Chase bank (and some others) offer a $100 to $200 bonus for opening a new bank account with direct deposit. Then open a second one for your spouse for another bonus. Then open a third business account for another $100 bonus. Use this account for your eBay business. Then sign up for a chase credit card for a $50 - $500 sign up bonus depending on the card you choose. Then do it again for your spouse. Finally get a business credit card for another $100 bonus for your new eBay business. You have just made $500 to $1000 even before you sold your first item. My wife and I have already done this and it only costs you one afternoon. Also use your credit cards for all eBay purchases,shipping supplies, shipping costs and earn cash back. Don't forget to pay off the balance in full each month or you will loose all your bonus money in interest over time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Set up a spread sheet with an item description for everything you list, what you paid for the item, what you sold it for, what you charged for shipping, what the buyer paid for shipping and a total profit after you add all these together. At the end of each month, take your total profit from all items sold and then subtract all eBay fees from your monthly statement, all Paypal fees, all shipping related costs (boxes,tape,markers). This is your total profit for the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget to open a Paypal account and link it to your new Chase checking account. Almost all eBay payments are made through Paypal. You cannot successfully sell on eBay without Paypal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a place to store your inventory. Make sure it is in a temperature controlled environment. The garage is not a good place. You do not want bugs, rodents, roaches,water moisture, to get in your valuable inventory.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Buy a decent digital camera (use your bank sign up money) You cannot sell without good photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I assume you already have a computer (otherwise you could not read this blog)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it! Headaches are out of the way and you have already made money!!!</span><br />

Buy as cheap as possible. Buy only like new and preferably name brands. Jeans sell very well. Clothing in lots of the same size, Leather jackets ,shoes, party/wedding dresses, Buy clothing out of season cheap and sell high when the weather changes. Skip the socks and underwear ( do I really need to say that). Set your price on buy it now and do not sell auction format. List at least 100 items and wait for your sales. It may take weeks or months to sell each item but because you have listed dozens or hundreds of items you will have a steady income each week. Continue to build your inventory and your weekly income will increase.</span><br />

Something can go wrong at every step. Just because you think your item is great does not mean it will be a quick sell. It will sell eventually. Just because someone places a bid does not mean they will pay for it. Do not ship until payment has cleared in full. Ebay has a system to report non paying bidders and you can usually re-list your item within a week if your bidder does not pay. Make sure you pack your item well. If it is expensive make sure to buy tracking confirmation and insurance. The post office has unreliable employees just like everyone else. Check to see that your customer has left positive feedback. If they have a problem be sure they will let you know. They will probably be upset and unreasonable. Take a deep breath and see if they have a valid point. Take care of your customer. I only have a problem with maybe one on fifty transactions. Nothing in this life is problem free. Do not avoid starting your business because of these problems. Take care of them quickly and move on. Don't get upset and don't dwell on them. Re-list your item and try again. If I had got some of my larger problems at the beginning when I first started I would have quit. To loose $100 when you only make $100 a month is unbearable. To loose $100 when you make $2000 a month is still terrible but I can live with it. Don't think short term. Take the necessary time to grow your business.<br />

I like for people to prosper and succeed. I want you to make money. Everyone benefits when everyone participates in society to grow the economy. I try to take a few minutes each day to put together something to help you out. If you would be so kind as to return the favor and visit one of our sponsors from time to time or<a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/kenmegan4/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686"> browse through my eBay auctions (you might get a selling idea by doing so)</a> it would be appreciated by myself and my starving family. Just kidding again. I have a real job and we get by just fine. Thanks for visiting this site.

There have been too many horror stories about people getting ripped off or even hurt. With eBay you have a feedback rating system to give you some comfort and peace of mind that the person coming to your home to pick up large items is not an ax murderer. When I get a large item I store it in the garage and let it sit until I get a buyer. You will have many people ask you to ship the item but most people just do not realize the cost of shipping on large items. Politely decline to ship and usually in a couple of months you will get a local buyer. I have had someone drive 100 miles for a bed frame that I was selling. You can sell furniture ,your car , boat , artwork, ect.. Just be patient and do not use auction format. With a limited local customer base an auction will not do well. Set your price and wait. I have also had success with setting a buy it now price that is double what I want with an option to make an offer. People get more excited when they think they are getting a discount.</span><br />

This really is my purpose. I want to help people get back on their feet. I want the abuse of welfare programs to stop. There are many ways to work for your money. Here I have offered a step by step plan to stop living on other people's hard work. It used to be embarrassing to live on charity as it should be. Don't even start telling me about crippled grandma with no friends or family. I feel true compassion for her and have no problem helping her. I am talking about the 20 somethings with 3 kids swiping their EBT. You are able to work for your money. No one needs to support you! Get a job. You have no excuse. Learn English if you have to. Learn a skill. Work hard every day. Do more than your employer asks. Try for a raise or promotion rather than just expecting one. If you do not try you will receive nothing. Even eBay is hard work , but it is work. It is a job that pays the bills. If you still have the illusion that you can livea life without work you are mistaken. Look at the country of Greece, they have no more money to give away and spoiled worthless lazy people are rioting in the streets. Get off the couch and find a job!<br />

Some people actually buy this for the convenience on not having to download each book one at a time. Worth a try.... You can ind almost everything you need at</span><br />

My wife pushes me to always find more sources of inventory. If it were up to me I would have not gone back to some of the locations after the first visit. That would have been a mistake. You might only find $10-50 worth of things to sell on an average visit but every 3-5 visits I find an item that I will make $100-$500 profit. Keep going back to your local bargain shops,garage sales, and flea markets. Give them 5-6 visits over 3-4 months before you form an opinion. You might miss something great!</span><div style="text-align: center;">

WHERE DO I BUY?<span style="font-size: large;">The obvious answer is to just to browse through each category and look for items that you might have access to. I could tell you what I sell but that would not help you because you do not live where I live. Maybe you live in an area where there are lots of good garage sales or plenty of resell/thrift stores. Maybe you are able to get donations or buy from local auctions. There might be abandoned storage units for auction or estate sales or you can offer to haul off junk by cleaning garages or attics/basements. You can offer to sell for friends for a fee. There are plenty of options you just need to know what things sell for. Do not look at what people are asking for items but check only the completed auctions. People can ask $1000 for anything. The question is will they ever get it. You need only pay attention to actual sells. On a final note, you can get $10 for almost anything eventually. Try to get lots of items for free or 1-2 dollars and if you sell 3-4 a month for $10 it adds up. This is usually how I experiment with new categories and items I know nothing about.</span>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-81777078251663355682012-02-03T18:22:00.000-08:002012-02-03T18:22:54.603-08:00AUCTIONS OR BUY IT NOW<span style="font-size: large;">Buy it Now will always get you more profit. Auctions will sell an item fast but unless your item is extremely hot (Superbowl tickets, an autograph of a recently deceased celebrity , a hot toy in short supply , an extremely rare collectible). Decide which one to use by how much inventory you are able to acquire. If you do not find good items very often then only use Buy it Now and let it sit until you get the price you want. If you buy items quickly in bulk at estate sales or storage auctions ect.. then you will need to move items faster and auctions will be the better option especially if you have limited storage space.</span>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-59500323798321976552012-02-03T09:26:00.000-08:002012-02-10T08:30:29.782-08:00WHAT IS THE STRANGEST ITEM YOU EVER SOLD ON EBAY?<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever sold something that really surprised you. There is a buyer for almost everything. Have you ever sold something that by far exceeded your expected sell price? Have you ever bought something that others might think strange? Sometimes I just browse eBay looking at all the unique items that no one would ever buy. The thing is some of these items actually have bids. Isn't American diversity wonderful....</span><br />

This will increase their confidence in you and promote repeat business. Answer all questions about your item immediately. If you answer within 15 minutes you can almost guarantee a sale. If you wait too long your customer might loose interest. Always contact your buyer after the auction ends thanking them for their purchase. Make sure they are aware of shipping fees, their total bill, and a reasonable due ate for payment. Tell them when you ship the item with an expected delivery date. Don't forget to leave feedback immediately after payment is made. Follow up with them and make sure they got their item.Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-89762622687423765402012-02-01T07:13:00.001-08:002012-02-06T09:12:11.117-08:00SHOULD I OFFER FREE SHIPPING?<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: grey; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.5pt;">You might think that free shipping would matter
to buyers but surprisingly it does not! Most bidders view shipping as a separate
expense. If you think people will bid more on your item because of free
shipping - you are wrong. You would do well to have an accurate shipping cost
and a reasonable asking price for your item. I have raised the asking price to
include the shipping in the product price and have had little success. Then I
changed these same auctions with shipping as a separate fee. Some people just
do not pay attention to shipping as long as the item price is good. The only
time I offer semi free shipping is when the item will cost $50 or more to ship.
I include $25 in the item price and only charge $25 as the shipping fee. This
seems to work better than a huge $50 shipping fee.</span></b></div>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-25370900494768806062012-01-31T17:26:00.000-08:002012-01-31T17:26:35.672-08:00WHAT WOULD YOU ABSOLUTELY NOT SELL?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have another blog where I express my views on life at http://saywhatiought.blogspot.com/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been thinking lately how ethics fits in with an Ebay business. Is there anything that you would absolutely would not sell to another person no matter what the price. Are there things that are better thrown away. Today I had a chance to get a lot of free books on religious philosophies that I strongly disagree with. They were actually valuable books. I passed on them. In the past I have sold books that I disagree with but these were stronger than usual. I do include a pamphlet on God , Jesus , the Christian faith with every item I sell. When I sold a copy of the Egyptian book of the dead the buyer was presented with a tract as well. Does this justify selling a bad book? Feel free to comment......</span><br />Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-78913520559401610942012-01-30T06:33:00.000-08:002012-01-31T20:12:28.254-08:00BUY ON EBAY FIRST BEFORE YOU SELL<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_335453942"><span style="font-size: large;">As a consumer think about how you want to be treated. Consider the detail you would expect with the photo and item description. How much care do you want when someone packages an item you spent your hard earned money on? How long are you willing to wait to get your item. How did you go about searching for your item? How important is feedback to you as a buyer? Is making payment an easy process? Consider all these things as you are starting as a seller. Get into the buyers's mind and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is good business and the ONLY way to get top rated seller status. It will also help your buyer's confidence to see that you have at least 10 feedback. No one wants to buy from someone with a zero feedback. Browse around for a while you might find something you like!</span></a><br />

This was a rare event. We were able to buy a car load of great books for next to nothing. This is how we get most of our inventory. You find a lot at one time and then nothing for a while. When I first started I was afraid to spend hundreds of dollars at one time. I thought my inventory would soon overwhelm my house and the product would not move fast enough. ALWAYS buy good items when you can. There are times of plenty and times of famine. I have regretted passing up items that I had 10 of at home but after the 10 were gone I always wish I had more.Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-66119979616995189522012-01-21T07:33:00.000-08:002012-02-10T08:31:28.695-08:00OUTDATED ITEMSOlder video games, VHS Movies, cassettes ,8 tracks, encyclopedia sets,old computers, old cell phones .

Is there demad for your item I sell many things that I would never buy for myself. Can you immagine the looks I get when sorting through crochet pattern books or inspecting women's shoes? Don't be afraid to try sellin items you are unfamilliar with. Do your research and make some unexpected money.Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-13179131068048972312012-01-20T23:25:00.000-08:002012-01-31T20:15:12.212-08:00MY NEW RANT BLOG<br />

I will share my mistakes so you can avoid them and also let you in on the secrets I have learned along the way. I have been selling for profit for 2 years. It started as a dream and has finally started making real money. I offer realistic advice for those getting started. I will not tell you to quit your job and you will not make millions, but you can make extra money to help pay the bills and have extra spending money. I hope one day to be able to EBAY full time but all businesses need time to grow. If you invest the time and you enjoy what you are doing you will make money. It is not difficult.Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-40396134613207289832012-01-18T19:05:00.001-08:002012-01-18T19:05:04.150-08:00FREE SELLERS BOOK<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=makmononebaan-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B004X6UN4K&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-19959891706777276532012-01-16T18:08:00.000-08:002012-01-16T18:08:07.714-08:00HAVE A SELLER ACCOUNT JUST FOR WHEN YOU NEED IT<span style="font-size: large;">When I first got started selling I had found a reference set for $3. It was on stamp collecting. I do not collect stamps but I did as a child and knew the multi volume set had value. I bought the set just because I knew it was valuable and what a shame it would be to pass up such a great deal. You do not even have to actively search for things to sell. You will see items from time to time that are great deals and if you already have an account open you have a way to get the value out of your great purchase. That was the only reason I started selling. I wanted to sell that book set. I soon began to see great buys everywhere. I did not want the items but I knew someone else would. I began collecting bargains and listing them when I was bored. That is all that is required to start. It will naturally grow from there.</span>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992014561443520718.post-29259503058077984242012-01-15T16:45:00.000-08:002012-01-16T18:08:23.813-08:00Keywords<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Try to think of every possible way a buyer might look for your item and make sure each of those words are in your title. I sell a lot of Twilight book sets my title will look something like this</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> "The Twilight Vampire Saga Complete 4 Volume book Set Stephanie Meyer Twilight- New Moon - Eclipse- Breaking Dawn - Complete Set Romance Fiction fantasy Teen Young Adult</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You never know what words someone will use to try to find the items they are looking for. If you miss their search word you might just miss a sale!</span>Ken Archboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00822394833092994612noreply@blogger.com0
