How to Make Money Selling on eBay ~ The Best Listings Sell Products
So is there a secret as to how to make money selling on eBay? The answer to that is that there are several key actions that all come together and lead to long term success. One of those secrets is that the very best listings sell more products.
We can all use periodic reminders about the quality of our listings. If you know how to make money selling on eBay, then you know that the quality of the listing can determine not only whether you receive bids for items that are at auction, but they also are critical in determining the final sales price that you will receive.
Creating powerful eBay auction listings is really an art. Many sellers may treat it like a science, with specific data and formulas being required. I suggest that you try to create your listings not only with the facts and data, but also with your buyers in mind.
There is a science to creating auction listings. That science of listings is built around the need to create a listing title with no more that 55 characters. That needs to be followed by a listing body that provides the specific data about the product that you are listing for sale. It is true that all of this data is required.
We feel that those are the rules that we must follow in the art of creating a powerful listing that will sell our products. We know that if we exceed 55 characters in our listing title, we have a problem. The art of the title is to convey as much truthful information to as many potential buyers as possible. The art is knowing there are more people searching for ‘bed-in-a-bag’ than there are searching for ‘comforter sets’. The art is creating a title that will be seen by BOTH GROUPS of potential buyers!
The art of creating the body of the listing is about creating an interesting and exciting description of not only the product, but also other important information such as shipping costs. The art is in creating a listing that flows in a smooth and user-friendly order. The art is in creating a listing that answers as many of the prospective buyer’s questions as possible. This minimizes questions that you will be asked to answer. This also increases the likelihood that viewers of your listing will become immediate bidders rather than just moving on to other auctions.
Poorly written titles and descriptions don’t pull prospective buyers to your auction. They may pause, but soon move on. Worse yet, delays in bidding caused by having to email questions will decrease the total number of bidders. Some bidders will just plain lose interest. Other bidders will move on to other seller’s products. Some bidders will even just simply forget about your product as they await your answers to their emails.
Auction listings are critical to auction sales success. Complete and interesting auction listings are a key step in the process of how to make money selling on eBay. Be sure that you recognize and comply with the science, but never forget the art involved in creating your auction listings.

MAKE MONEY ON eBAY ~ Product Sourcing Criteria
Locating products is a prerequisite for those who want to make money on eBay. It is also where the real fun begins. At times locating products can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. That is especially true when trying to add ‘hot’ products to your offerings. It is possible to locate almost anything, but for the ‘hottest’ products, the price that will be required will mean little or no profit.
Start by examining your main suppliers. Look at a set of criteria similar to this:
v Products Must be in Your Core Sales Areas
v Product Quality is as Represented
v Customer Service Must be Outstanding
v Reasonable Prices
v Prompt Delivery
v Products must be in our core sales areas – for a supplier to be on your list, they should handle products that are within your core sales areas. To make money on eBay, every supplier must be able to support your core business area, with other ‘great deals’ as a bonus. Purchase and then pass those ‘great deals’ onto your customers.
v Product quality is as represented – this is really about trust. You must be able to trust your suppliers. When they say that a particular product is a certain way that is exactly what you expect to see when the product arrives. When they recommend a product that you are unfamiliar with, you need to be able to count on that recommendation to be true. If you cannot trust your suppliers, eliminate them from your list.
v Customer service must be outstanding – you should expect nothing less than outstanding customer service from your suppliers. This includes prompt replies to questions, quick turn-around on purchases, and notification of ‘hot deals’ when they become available from the supplier.
v Reasonable prices – most eBay businesses are on a very tight profit margin. You need to count on your suppliers to provide the lowest possible pricing on their products. If there are ways to reduce prices, you need to know. The less you spend on products, the better the pricing for your customers! Everyone wins with this approach.
v Prompt delivery – you should look for two things in delivery. The first is pricing. As fuel prices increase, freight becomes a bigger and bigger part of the overall cost of merchandise. Look should to your suppliers to do everything possible to keep freight costs down. (We have also started working with another business to coordinate shipments, for example. By combining our freight, we can typically obtain lower freight costs.) The other piece of the freight equation is speed of delivery. Once you’ve paid for the merchandise, it is money that you need to turn around to invest in new merchandise as soon as possible. You cannot make money on eBay if you pay for freight and then have products just sitting in someone’s warehouse. To that end, expect your suppliers to ship immediately upon receipt of payment. Be sure to track your incoming shipments to ensure delays are minimized.
The list actually looks much like the list that eBay buyers use when they decide whether to bid on products, and then whether to give positive feedback or not.
In addition to your good old standby suppliers, develop a back-up list of second-tier suppliers. These suppliers are either recommended by someone you trust, or that have found at tradeshows, in newsletters, or through some other means. Possibly you have completed only one or two transactions, but some issue kept them from making your main supplier list. Look to these second-tier suppliers for products when your main suppliers cannot help with a specific product that will make money on eBay.
As a part of the process, ask each supplier that cannot furnish a desired product to recommend another source. While this rarely meets with success, there will be times when you hit a homerun using this approach.
If your main suppliers and second-tier suppliers are unable to provide a product, conduct an internet search. When you reach this point, know that you are going to be investing a lot of time not only looking for the right supplier, but also in investigation of prospects.
Before we ever deal with a new supplier make sure that the supplier can provide the desired product. Work to determine a price. If all is looking positive, ask for references before you buy. Only after checking references should you move forward with a purchase.
Always be very conservative with your first purchase from a new supplier. There are just too many unscrupulous sellers who provide inferior products, poor service, or have other issues. You will not make money on eBay with these problems.
Don’t forget that many who make money on eBay manufacture their own products. This is another great way to do something that you really enjoy for a profit!

Want To Work From Home Successfully Like I Do
First of all I am not trying to sell you anything! All I'm doing is giving you my story and some recommendations if you are looking to work from home without getting f**ked in the a*s by the countless c**k sucking bottom feeders here on the Internet who's only purpose in life is to suck your cash out of your wallet into theirs. These f**ckers get away with this time and time again because of dumb bastards like me and probably you. Unfortunately (and luckily as well I suppose) for me I'm a stubborn SOB and when my wife and family (but mostly associates) would say "stop blowing money" and that "the whole work at home concept is crap" I didn't listen. I just wasted more and more money. I was absolutely certain that one day someone with half a soul would post something online that was worth a toss and that could show me how to indeed work from home and make some money online. If I had found this article while I was looking I would've saved myself a pretty penny!
I'm know knee deep into making money online. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Now I've been at this for some time now and I'm starting to make a decent amount of $$$ doing so. If you type in "work from home" into a search engine there will be literally hundreds of sites you can go to to make your millions overnight. After a bit of surfing you get to see a pattern with nearly all of them. They all say the same old shit!!! Make 6 figure incomes in two weeks, earn 5000 bucks overnight, get paid your yearly salary in 10 Min's. I'm gonna stop now coz this is pi*sing me off.
Just bare with me for a sec while I go off subject. I wanna talk about the word 'system' for a tick. You'll find this word appears everywhere when you are looking for something of the work from home nature. I hate it when these f**kers use this word and it took me a couple of years to come to this. To me a system should basically be a step by step procedure (of which every step is outlined in detail) that you follow to achieve an outcome of some kind. SO WRONG!!!! Nine times out of ten you'll get some crappy 'e' book that will not only pi*s you off but leave you out of pocket with absolutely no idea at all what you're supposed to do with it. That's not a 'system' its a rip off!!!
A lot of them will briefly cover a concept then send you off to multiple links which they say will help explaining the shit that they are talking about but it doesn't usually. What really pis*es me off is that most of these links are either broken, free online anyway, links to other shitty work form home sites (which used to really f**k me off) or just as full of a*s juice as your new 'e' book. What cracks me up is that these sites (which are usually a huge page full of "I'm rich as f**k and only work 10 mins a day" text reworded over and over again and 30 bullsh*t testimonials) will tell you that they guarantee that their system will have you earning squillions in days, weeks or months then they have (right down the bottom usually in tiny text) an earnings disclaimers saying the opposite????? Go figure. Then for a better laugh look at all the 30, 60, 90 Day no questions asked money back guarantees......bahahahahahaha!!!! If you look in the terms & conditions sometimes it will state that you must give proof that the information you purchased from them was of no use to you, didn't work and/or why you think you couldn't apply the information for the purpose you purchased it for. Wait a minute...........what happened to the no questions asked.......just give me my f**kin money back bi*ch!!!!! And if it doesn't state that in the terms then your still f**ked coz you ain't ever getting your money back and really what are you gonna do about it. Its not like you can go round to their house and beat it out of their a*s (which I would've loved to have done soooo many times) as you'd have to find them first and that is pretty much impossible. So what can you do? Let me tell you. You can sit there and let these cockroaches f**k you in the ass like the stupid pri*k or bi*ch (whatever the case may be) that they now know you to be!!
So if you haven't picked up on it, most guarantee's are sh*t and unfortunately nearly all of the work from home sites and systems are as well. A lot of these cheeky f**kers even tell you that 99% of all these sites are sh*t THEY TELL YOU!!!!!! Luckily enough there site falls into the golden 1%. Now most people would figure out that purchasing from these bastards is not a good idea but like I said earlier I'm a stupid and stubborn SOB and I REALLY wanted to work online from home so I kept buying and buying until I hit something that didn't send my blood pressure through the roof. And boy did I find it!!!
I want to tell you about it. First of all I wanna say again that I'm not pitching a sale at you here. I don't have a website, I don't have a 'SYSTEM' that will make you a millionaire by tomorrow and I don't want your money. What I do want is the chance to tell you what helped me. I'm sort of certain that if you're reading this you're looking for some way to make a buck online with a goal of working full time from home like I was at one time. I honestly (and believe me when I say this) don't give a flying f**k whether you follow my advice or not. The only reason I'm doing this is because I would've loved to have found something like this when I was searching for the same thing.
So back to the story. In my years of searching for something that wasn't full of crap I have signed up for all sorts of crap. Anyway one of these opt-ins was for some free info on working from home. So Being me I gave out my email addy and off I go. So the next time I checked my email I had received all this free info that I opted in for at some time during the previous couple of days. Now I usually read a couple and bin the rest (which for me now is like buying two lottery tickets and throwing one out the window on the way home). Anyway I read one of them and after reading heaps of these types of emails you sort of get a knack for spotting bull sh*t when you see it but this one email caught my attention. Out of curiosity I Googled it and sure enough found the website responsible for the email. The ad took me to this website. I initially thought it was a review site of other Work from Home sites so I gave it a quick squiz. After reading on I realised it was itself a Work From Home system. Being the dumb a*s I am I purchased this. I think I paid about $27 bucks for it. Anyway I downloaded the product and nervously opened it thinking I was about to get another kick in the nads from the Mrs. I think it was around 40 odd pages long and when I looked at the first page I instantly thought NICE ONE DIPSH*T YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!! It looked like all the other sh*t I'd accumulated over the years. By now I'm getting pretty angry so I read through the first couple of pages and by the time I got to about page 4 or 5 I realised that none of what I was reading was familiar. Heaps of the systems and 'e' books I have bought over the years have been the same old sh*t in different packages, well this wasn't. So far it wasn't even close. I braced myself and read on. By the time I got to the end of chapter one and had completed the tasks involved I was already getting the concept behind this system and what was even better I was learning something new!! In it the author stresses not to read the next chapter until you've completed all of the tasks in the previous chapter but I thought if I was this excited about the first chapter then f**k you Mr author its my f**kin book I'll do whatever the hell I want with it. So I read on and F**K ME!!!!!!! The day of days had arrived. FINALLY I had got something that seemed to be both achievable and well within my skill level. I jumped out of my seat and ran to my wife and kicked her square in the ass (quite hard to) as payback on all of the nut shots I had taken over the years whenever I bought another piece of sh*t get rich quick 'e' book.
Anyway after my wife kicked the living sh*t out of me I returned to my computer and for the next 3 or four days I was stuck to it. I spent a weekend and called in sick on Monday and Tuesday to get my a*s through this 'e' book. Anyway this guy is one on-to-it mofo!!! I followed his instructions (with personal email support which I thought kicked a*s as I am sick of auto responder replies) and set up my first online business quite quickly and easily. YEAH!!!! Now finally I could tell all those who doubted the fact that my perseverance would pay off one day to KISS MY HAIRY A*S!!!. O.k so it wasn't millions overnight but they didn't need to know that. Actually I am still to make millions on that venture (I'll get there one day) but it is exactly what it said it would be and it was set up relatively easily exactly how the guy said it would be.
Using what I was taught I set up 3 or 4 different income sources. All of which got easier to set up than the one before, took less time and made more money. Every time I replicated the process I put into action the little things I learnt from the ones before slightly tweaking each one which gave me even better results. Pretty sweet I reckon!!! But do you know the best thing about the this dude (other than his system) is that he (or they) actually send me other work from home opportunities from time to time. I sh*t you not!!!! And if your thinking whys that so good let me fill ya in. I've found someone who's information and experience I know of and trust. So if he sends me some info on another business opportunity and I'm interested there's no need anymore for me to worry about it being some f**kin 'A' hole out for a quick buck at my expense. Its a pretty sweet set up if you ask me!! I have now have multiple ventures running and all but one of them is a direct result of this guys recommendations.
I am doing so much better than I could have imagined 5 years ago and I just want to share it with anyone willing to read this. I get to provide my family with our home and everything we need to live comfortably and its relatively easy. It also gives me a bit of satisfaction knowing that if one person does what i have done the way I have done it then there will be a scamming prick out there who has missed out.
Don't get me wrong it was f**ckin hard work getting to where I am today. By hard work I mean that it took me years, far too much $$$ and far too much time to get here. Once I found something half way decent it was pretty much smooth sailing (ish) from then til now. Hopefully my experience will help someone bypass all the really hard stuff and get on with the job.

I reckon you'd be a sap to not at least give it a look over but hey everyone to their own. If you do give it a go then congrats and all power to ya!!! My personal advice to anyone with the balls to do this would be to make sure you give it a f**kin good lash coz believe me its worth it. Don't listen to the pack. You will get stick (like I did) from anyone you tell. F**k them. Let them work for someone else until the day they f**kin die. Excuse my harshness but it annoys me to no end when I tell people what I do and they try and shoot me down as being stupid without ever having done anything like this. I'm really a nice guy but those with "tall poppy syndrome" (Google that last term if you dont know what it is) can go get f**ked. As far as I'm concerned there are two kinds of people in this world. People that can and do and people that can go get f**ked hahahahahaha!!!!! So anyway don't bother even trying this unless you're committed and really really want something better out of your life. When you get what your looking for you'll kick yourself knowing that you could have done it ages ago, I did. So for those that have made it this far (probably people that can and do) what are ya waiting for. Again the link is
