Think Before Starting An EBay Business

Posted by admin | May 4, 2008 .

Most of the people think that they can build high profit online business on eBay, Yes intention is right because eBay is the biggest marketplace on the internet but still there are some things that needs to understand before starting an eBay business. I started my eBay business during my graduation, at that time I was looking for a part time work and I thought there is nothing better than an online business.

My journey on eBay was started by selling ebooks and other digital delivery items such as softwares. It was very easy to sell digital delivery items because there is no shipping cost and prices of these e-books were very low, ranges from 1.99$ to 4$.I always go for creativity and selling ebooks was not so creative. So I decided to sell some other products via dropship, selecting a dropshipper was a tough job as I was not interested in bigger companies like Shopster and Doba (They need a membership payment ). It does not make any sense because you are acting as a salesman of these companies for a minute profit and still you have to pay for membership to sell their products.

So I contacted various online stores and got very encouraging response from them. Then my painful experience of dropship was started it was so painful that you can’t sleep at whole night in a worry that dropshipper will ship the product at right time or not.

Then after that I quitted eBay business and started an infopreneurial website. Now I believe infopreneursip has a lot of benefits with less pain and stress. The profit margin in infopreneurship is huge either from affiliate marketing or Google adsense.The first affiliate program selected by me was “Internet Marketing Center” because of high commission (65$ per sales).Then I moved to Shareasale and Commission Junction for the selection of affiliate programs according to my niches. Now let me make a sweeping statement about affiliate marketing “Good infopreneurs are those who always select quality products and services to promote and those who go for high commission and scarify quality can never build credibility”. High quality plus high commission is the best thing to promote.

In short, if you want to sell on eBay then you have to know that selling your words is much easier than selling products especially with dropship.

    Yeah, that is one of the problems with dropshipping, you do rely so much on a third party and if they screw up, you’ll be the one who gets it in the neck. And if you ended up using a poor dropshipper, it could be the end of your business. You owe it to yourself to make sure you’re working with a good wholesale outlet. It’s just not worth leaving it to chance.
