Question

i have a cell phone bizness and vitamins...?

Answer 1

I like ebay...I have sold a few things on there and made some good money.

I have also bought things, especially items that are local to me. I didn't have to pay the shipping charges, and I got the stuff for a good price !

Answer 2

It hasn't work out for me yet but I am still trying. If you already have a business already why not try it. It is just another selling channel. Try to check the completed listing on Ebay to see whether your products are on demand or the prices are competitive compare with other sellers.

Answer 3

ebay is great, but it does have its drawbacks. Many sellers violate the rules by having a low starting price (perhaps 99 cents) and then charging a huge amount for shipping. It is against the rules, but I see it all the time. If you are honest and set a reasonable starting price and have reasonable shipping, then you may lose out to someone who has similar item with a lower price and high shipping if the buyer doesn't look at shipping.

Answer 4

I look at ebay as an extension of a garage sale. So, in that manner, it works for me. As a business, not for me. There are people on there selling pennies above cost. How are any of us supposed to compete with that?

If , like you, you are adding it as an extension of your regular business, go for it. If, like some, want to use it as a store front for a store that doesn't really exist, I'd come up with a better plan.

And by the way. I love e-bay.

Answer 5

I'm not in it for the competition. when I find things here and there that I know I can make a bit of a profit off of, I take advantage of it and make a few bucks to pay some bills. it's not a business for me, really. maybe a side business, but that's about it.

Answer 6

Answer 7
