Question

and also are you preatty much garenteed to make a proffit selling stuff other ways if you have the money and you are motivated?

Answer 1

there is no guarantee in business period.

to be a power seller on ebay you must hold a certain sales amount for months on end to gain the title. then to keep the title you must hold that sales rate or increase it, decrease and you start back at square one of gaining the title.

ebay is over done, over saturated and over populated. its a joke anymore. every scammer or thief is on there, most emails are scams and got so bad ebay had to create an internal email service.

if you are looking for unique items or one of a kind, sure you can find them there. but to get a deal on say a tv, ipod, etc. nah...those days are long gone. by the time you figure in all the expenses of either buying or selling on there....you really make no money.

I use to be on there, was even gonna open up a ebay retail store till I really sat down and crunched the numbers. When its all said and done, after all the work, shipping, costs, fee's, time spent, etc etc etc.....you will make more working at McD's flipping burgers.

To sell stuff elsewhere....well that takes a web site, web presence marketing scheme, web site, shopping cart, etc etc.

Its back to there is no guarantee in business. I have owned my own for the past 10 yrs. But my first 4 tries...I fell flat on my face hard. Most do....stats show that for every 100 new biz's that attempt to start...only 6 actually make it. Why? Cause most give up after falling on their face. The few that continue on quit after the 2nd or 3rd falling. Only the truely determined will continue on against all odds.

But that doesn't mean you are done once you get there....after 10 yrs I was just forced to radically alter my business in a huge way. 1000% away from what I was doing to what I am now doing. Again that takes the same determination.

Determination, modivation, self drive are the 3 keys to being sucessful. No matter how many put you down, no matter how many say no, no matter how many walls are put up....you continue on....if this is you.....then yes....it will pay off sooner or later.

Hi,

Interesting post. I started my eBay selling "adventure" about 4 years ago. I tried unsuccessfully on and off for about 2 years to sell products on eBay. There are so many factors that need to be right in order for people to bid.

I had this nagging feeling that it's a solid business model to sell on eBay, so I didn't give up. My wife was watching TV and saw an infomercial for a course to learn how to sell and be successful on eBay. She bought it for me for my birthday 2 years ago, and I'm EXTREMELY successful at selling on eBay on.

When I saw your question I looked to see if the same kit is still being sold, and I found it for FREE on the Internet! They're only asking $1.95 for shipping!!!!!

I highly recommend this course if you want to be successfull, and you certainly can't beat $1.95

Good Luck

Answer 4

You have to have stuff people want
AND you have to beable to get it yourself at a low enough price to make a profit.

IF you can get enough items to sell in volume
then yes you can.....

But take a good hard look at the prices other power sellers are selling at....

Answer 5

There are no guarantees at all,you have to do it yourself
