I am planning on opening a store on ebay in like two weeks. So right now I just found some brand new stuff in my closet I've never used to start off with, to get atleast some experience. I have already lost more than I'll make selling them with just the basic fees, which I wasn't looking on making a profit I was just doing that for the feedbacks and experiece! But for someone new like me it seems tough. I guess I learned that pictures matter so much. Due to the quality of my camera I couldn't get good ones and I spend a long time trying to take decent ones. I've gotten absolutely no bids and I think those items are great (well they do look way better than in the pics) with very low starting bid. I just feel discouraged :cry: I already spend a lot of time researching to start a small business and I ordered some really nice items online to resell in a few weeks. Ebay fees are sky high, and I wasn't aware they charged even more everytime you wanted to revise each item. This post is long! Thank you for reading, I would really appreciate any advice! :D

Oh you just aren't familiar with it all, sorry about that.

They don't charge anything for revision.

However they do charge for the type of revisions, if you go ahead and add extras, anything from using bold or highlights!

My advice? Is just like uBid or otherwise....

DON'T USE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't even use them on bid-alot!

Just ignore them, and you can list for as low as $3 anywhere with just paying the insertion fee, or sometimes only $1. Or sometimes only $.60 cents when they have a listing fee SALE special!

Just do that, trust me. Follow it as a general rule. It is not worth it paying for their extras unless you are just desperate and HAVE to sell it, if its a more expensive item you must make sure the whole world knows about.

That is how I approach it you know.

I list most of my items now for either .01 or .99. It only cost .55 to list an item with a gallery picture.

I have tried to list for .01 or .99 but it didn't work very well. I had to call a friend and have him bid on the item so I didn't have to sell it for 1.50. It's too risky for me. I list everything fixed price. Under $20 item is .75 and it goes up with item price.

I try to mix up my listing types, auctions, fixed price, store items...it is true that store items are cheaper to list...but you pay for the store...so maybe it balances out.

For a new person, Im one also...I learning that just getting the traffic to your store is the first part of the battle...do that and you might be good at this. Try using good phrases, use brand names in the titles...the more people see it, the better it does...thats my understanding.

thanks

You can get a domain name at ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** for around $9 a year and redirect to your store ebay for more traffic. This way you can put links to your store in your listing, just like Berk LLC does here at salehoo and I'm sure it works great for them also.

Yes......or....you can use the "secret" and watch unbelievable results.

I have been for some time. But I won't give away the "secret" about gaining traffic for nothing there's just no way.

I'm going to finish my e-book, and start giving the secret and the proven strategy away everywhere for about $1-2 each and just shoot the e-book all over the world. It definitely does the job.

a store might have cheaper insertion fees but they get you with the final value fee my advice is don't do a store. stick with regular auction style listings. what i do is charge a little more for shipping than what it would normally be. which would cover your fees. because if u sell an item for .99 cents and charge exact shipping u lose all your money to the insertion fees.

Regarding This subject: My question to anyone?

How do you list an item on ebay to a store inventory
only? How do you stock your store and make sure they charge you 5 cent and not the regular listing fee.

I know if you list an item it goes in to your store automaticlly, but how do you just stock your store?

Anybody????

when you are picking the format for your item, buy it now, or auction, if you have a store, there is an option for store inventory. Select store inventory and then complete the process as normal.

I need Help i tried to sell some shoes on ebay. But after one day of listing it , ebay ended my auction, because it was a trademark violation? I think they where saying my shoes were replicas? My question is how ebay found out my shoes were replicas.

[haus1028]

You probably got reported by someone selling the real thing. That's my guess.

[miguel]

yes but does he knows my shoes are replicas.

[haus1028]

Probably not but ebay will take the word of a big powerseller and remove your auctions with no questions asked. The big dogs play dirty.

[miguel]

that crazy! haha. Ok so what do i do? There are other people selling the same item.
