<p>Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p>This post is going to be slightly different to my normal posts, in fact what I&#8217;ll be doing here I have never done before&#8230;&#8230;more on that in a moment.</p>
<p>I sell information products, both on eBay and from my websites and I have recently found a jewel that I just have to bring to your attention, especially if you also sell (or are thinking of selling) information products.</p>
<p>Whether you are an established <strong>eBook writer</strong> or a newbie with an idea to <strong>create an eBook</strong> something you are going to need are</p>
<h3>eBook Graphics</h3>
<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->I personally have only ever used <a title="Planet Divinity" href="http://planet-divinity.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Planet Divinity</strong></a>, No that is NOT an affiliate link, my earning money is not the point of this post&#8230;.</p>
<p>I could go on and tell you about the Cheap Prices, the Quality of Work Produced or the Speed at which it is delivered, but that&#8217;s not the point of this post&#8230;.</p>
<p>I could go on even further and tell you that <a title="Planet Divinity" href="http://planet-divinity.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Planet Divinity</strong></a> ask a series of simple questions and from your answer they will produce a first class cover, but that&#8217;s not the point of this post either&#8230;.</p>
<p>Ok, I can hear you&#8230;&#8221;What <strong>is</strong> the point of this post and how is it going to be different?&#8221;</p>
<p>Let me explain&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The point </strong>of this post is to <strong>Save you money</strong> on your “<strong>eBook Graphics</strong>” and pass on a free lesson that I have found. <strong>It&#8217;s different</strong> because&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.I&#8217;m going to ask you to go and read someone <strong>else&#8217;s blog post</strong>.</p>
<p>My last couple of posts have been about blogging and to demonstrate the benefits of visiting blogs I want to bring a post to your attention. As you know I spend quite a bit of time visiting other blogs and when I found this post it instantly took first place for the <strong>Best Free Lesson</strong> I have found online this year!</p>
<p>Before I tell you who and where I want to ask you to do 3 things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open your mind to future 	products</li>
<li>Think of all the old PLR 	material you have sitting on your Hard Drive</li>
<li>Clear your desk for 18 	minutes; 2 minutes reading and a 16 minute video.</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh, sorry there&#8217;s a 4<sup>th</sup>, make your self a coffee, come back and get comfortable, then click the following link to <a title="Sally's Blog Post" href="http://sallyneill.com/creating-selling-and-marketing-ebooks/how-to-create-an-ebook-ecover-in-5-minutes/" target="_blank"><strong>Sally Neill&#8217;s Blog Post</strong></a>.</p>

<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->Hi everyone, thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p>Today I would like to cover keywords and keyword spamming. Keywords are used all over the internet to increase search results, but today I would like to concentrate on eBay.</p>
<p>As you know the use of keywords plays a large part in being a successful seller on eBay. By placing the relevant keywords in your titles and descriptions your items have a much better chance of being discovered in the search results.</p>
<p>More views = more sales.</p>
<p>Because keywords play such an important part of our listings and their success some people are keyword spamming to try and increase their sales. This is a major <strong>No No </strong>on eBay and, when caught out, will get your listings removed.</p>
<p>So what is keyword spamming?</p>
<p>Basically keyword spamming is when people enter keywords into their titles and descriptions that have nothing to do with their product but could influence the search results.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>Some people selling non branded goods try adding a few brand names to their listings so as to get the item found in more search results, remember More views = more sales.</p>
<p>Let me elaborate a little: A non branded denim jacket saying something like: Heavy Duty Denim Jacket bla bla bla Not Levis, or Heavy Duty Denim Jacket bla bla bla similar to Levis</p>
<p>Or The latest film title on DVD bla bla bla not Blu-ray.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you get the picture.</p>
<p>Some people, knowing that keyword spamming is not allowed, try and get clever by including non relevant keywords in white text on a white background so that they are not seen by the human eye in the hope that they&#8217;ll slip through the eBay team assigned to checking the listings. This is a waste of time as eBay have software that also checks the listings, and the software sees all text, regardless of its colour, and flags up the offending listings.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s against eBay&#8217;s policies to do anything that manipulates the search or browse experience on eBay, this includes all parts of your listing: Title, Sub-title, Pictures, Item Details and Descriptions.</p>
<p>When eBay catch you doing this they will remove your listing and give you a warning. If you have further listings in the fixed price fromat their position within the listings could also be reduced, which will obviously affect your sales. If you continue trying to list items in this way, or try to hide your text, (white text on white background), your account will be suspended.</p>
<p>So you see it really isn&#8217;t worth the risk.</p>
<p>If you struggle to find successful wording for your listings then my good friend <a title="Randy's Blog" href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Randy Smith</strong></a> can help. Randy noticed that some listings,<strong> of identical items,</strong> were having mixed results. While some were selling like hot cakes others weren&#8217;t even being bid on. Being <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">an </span>inquisitive guy Randy looked into why this was happening and spent time researching it. As a result of his research Randy has written <a title="Magic Auction Words" href="http://barry-wells.com/recommends/Magic_Auction_Words.html" target="_blank"><strong>Magic Auction Words</strong></a>, which is a massive collection of MAGIC Words and Phrases that will grab your prospect&#8217;s attention, INFLUENCE them to visit your auction page and PERSUADE them to bid-on or buy your product!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the perfect reference if you&#8217;re auctioning-off products or services to regular consumers, businesses, auction buyers and sellers, marketers, entrepreneurs, MLMer&#8217;s, affiliates, web masters, executives, investors, opportunity seekers, etc.</p>
<p>By having this ebook on your desktop, You&#8217;ll be able to <strong>Save Hours</strong> of thinking about what to write and you&#8217;ll Discover <strong>How to Work Less</strong> to get those visitors to click on your links.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve read  <a title="Magic Auction Words" href="http://barry-wells.com/recommends/Magic_Auction_Words.html" target="_blank"><strong>Magic Auction Words</strong></a> you could use Randy&#8217;s persuasive words and phrases in a variety of ways&#8230;.</p>
<p>….pop over and see exactly how. I know you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>Until next time, take care.</p>

<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } 		A:link { so-language: zxx } -->Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p>We are all aware that eBay are forever changing things on their site.</p>
<p>Over recent years the changes to their feedback system and policies have seen some sellers throw the towel in and give up.</p>
<p>Some of those changers were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restricting the sale of digital 	download items, music, eBooks, images etc as they believed these 	sales could lead to feedback manipulation.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Removing the ability of a seller 	to leave Negative feedback for a buyer. Which for many sellers was 	their protection from buyers being over excited and leaving negative 	feedback. Or if negative feedback was left some buyers would use 	threats of returning the negative feedback unless the buyer removed 	it from seller.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Adding the DSR (Detailed Seller 	Rating) feature, where a buyer will rate the seller on 4 key areas: 	Item description, Communication, Dispatch Time and P&amp;P charges. 	Scoring from one to five, with five being Top Marks. The sellers DSR 	is then calculated and their fixed price listings are then placed on 	the eBay pages according to how good their DSR is. Which basically 	means if you have a good DSR your items will be well placed, but if 	you have a poor DSR your listings will be lower in the listings.</li>
</ul>
<p>eBay&#8217;s feedback system is under constant scrutiny, discussion and criticism, with sellers  claiming it to be unfair to them. Well I&#8217;m pleased to be able to tell you that eBay are concerned about their feedback system being exploited and are now actively working to protect sellers from buyers who misuse or abuse it.</p>
<p>A small minority of buyers have been known to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Threaten the seller with negative 	feedback unless the seller provides goods or services not included 	in the original listing.</li>
<li>Purchase many items from the same 	seller and leave them negative feedback regardless of the buying 	experience.</li>
<li>Leave abusive feedback.</li>
<li>Leave positive feedback but score 	the seller a low DSR.</li>
</ul>
<p>When buyers are found to leave a large amount of low DSR&#8217;s they are now being sent an email explaining the impact of low DSR scores to the seller and informing them of how feedback should be left. Should they continue to leave low DSR&#8217;s, or <strong>if they are found to be in competition with the buyer</strong>, the feedback left will be removed and the buyers account, and any related selling accounts, <strong>will be suspended</strong>.</p>
<p>As a seller you are also protected because eBay ensure that a single buyer does not have a disproportionate impact on a seller by causing them to lose their status, such as eBay Top-rated, or preventing them from gaining it.</p>
<p>There are some measures that you can take yourself to help protect your feedback.</p>
<p>If you receive negative or neutral feedback you can ask the buyer to revise it once you have corrected the problem. Drop them an email asking what the problem was, and remember you must <strong>always remain polite</strong> in your emails and stick to what was stated in your salespage and your returns policy. A genuine buyer with a genuine complaint will reply and tell you exactly what made them leave poor feedback, they&#8217;ll also welcome the fact that you want to try and correct it.</p>
<p>You will also find some petty buyers won&#8217;t reply to your emails to let you know what was wrong, especially if it was a cheap item. Well did you know&#8230;..</p>
<p>…..You can block individual buyers from being allowed to bid on your items. Type <strong>Block Bidders </strong>into the help pages on eBay and follow the simple guide.</p>
<p>You can also block buyers from buying your items. If you set your buyer requirements to block buyers with unpaid items or policy violation reports recorded against them it&#8217;ll help keep some of the unsavoury buyers from your eBay door. Type <strong>Buyer Requirements </strong>into the help pages on eBay and follow the simple guide.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be to strict though, we all had to start somewhere and it&#8217;s the unsavoury buyers we want to keep away from <strong>not the newbies that haven&#8217;t gained Feedback yet!!</strong></p>
<p>In the event that you do receive poor feedback you can also send the buyer a <strong>Feedback revision request,</strong> but please note that for every 1000 feedback scores in any given 12 month period you can only request 5 revisions. So use them sparingly. You must also have resolved the issue with the buyer and explain to the buyer why you are requesting the revision.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m pleased that eBay are now trying to protect sellers I feel that they still have a long way to go before they have levelled the playing field. But at least they are moving in the right direction, remember eBay are treading a very fine line trying to please buyers and sellers alike.</p>
<p>If you are having problems with a buyer pop over to this eBay help page and see what you can do about it. Like eBay say “<em>If sellers don&#8217;t tell us about their problems, we won&#8217;t be able to prevent a buyer from doing the same thing again</em>”.</p>
<p><strong>For the Uk:</strong><br />
<a title="eBay Help Page For UK" href="http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/report_problem.html" target="_blank">http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/report_problem.html</a></p>
<p><strong>For the US:</strong><br />
<a title="eBay Help Page For US" href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/report_problem.html" target="_blank">http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/report_problem.html</a></p>
<p>For other countries: Copy and Paste the above link into Notepad and replace the extension (.com or .co.uk) with the extension that you use for your usual eBay site.</p>
<p><strong>Visit the page now and Bookmark it</strong>, you never know when you may need it.</p>
<p>Remember <strong>your Feedback IS your eBay reputation</strong> and you need to protect it at all times.</p>

<p>As a result of the world wide recession many people have turned to eBay to try and make money from home. Some have found success and some have found that it can be very frustrating to list items over and over on eBay without making sales. Most of us have been there and many of us have, at some point, found the eBay fees catch up and sometimes overtake our profit, which only adds to the squeeze being put on our finances.</p>
<p>Many people have then become disheartened and have left eBay without trying to research their market. There are various ways of researching your market on eBay to help you find items that are selling successfully. But what if I told that there is an area of eBay where people are actually queuing up for items, and telling us what those desired items are?</p>
<p><strong>Want it now:</strong> Is an area of eBay where people who cannot find what they are looking for, or cannot be bothered to look, list details of the items that they want to buy. There are literally thousands of listings there but what you are looking for in this area is either high value items or repeated listings. Repeated listings mean that many people are looking for the same items. If you can source those items you will obviously make lots of sales, and if you can find them at the right price your profit will increase dramatically.</p>
<p>Finding repeated listings can be time consuming. There is software out there to make it easier for you, but that costs money. Unfortunately you will have to spend either your time or your money on this, but it is worth it. Use some of your time first to check it out, and decide from there.</p>
<p><strong>Ok Barry, how do we find the want it now section on eBay?</strong></p>
<p>Log into your eBay account and click on the help link in the top right corner. On the following page just enter Want It Now and click search. You will then see a selection of topics relating to Want It Now, click on the top one and it will take you to an information page where you will find a link to the listings.</p>
<p><strong>Wow Barry there are literally thousands of listings there. How do I sort through that lot to find the repeated listings you spoke of?</strong></p>
<p>This is where the time factor kicks in. All of the listings are placed according to the time and date that they were listed and it could be that there are weeks between repeated listings. So we need to filter that information and we do this using Notepad and a spread sheet, as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>First of all copy and paste the complete page of listings into a notepad doc. This will copy listing title, responses and the date of the listing.</li>
<li>Next, open a spread sheet using Excel or a similar program.</li>
<li>Now switch from notepad to spread sheet, cutting and pasting each listing title from the notepad to the spread sheet. Placing all of the titles beneath one another in the spread sheet cells.</li>
<li>When you have completed that, with only the responses and listing dates remaining, you can close the notepad doc, without saving it.</li>
<li>Return to your spread sheet and save your work. Now click the top of the column to highlight all of the cells with the titles in.</li>
<li>Now click the Data tab from across the top and select Sort by A-Z.</li>
</ol>
<p>The titles will then be rearranged into alphabetical order, allowing you to spot repeated listings with relative ease. As I said this can be time consuming, but the results will speak for themselves.</p>
<p>If you find that to time consuming then check out the <strong><a title="AuctionYen" href="http://barry-wells.com/recommends/AuctionYenVideo.html" target="_blank">AuctionYen Video</a></strong> that will show you some software that will do all the work for you.</p>
<p>Until next time, Best of luck<br />
Barry</p>

<p>Hi, thanks for visiting my blog:</p>
<p>Have you ever wondered why it is that some people make really good money on eBay when you can not make regular sales yourself? Frustrated and banging your head against the wall trying to figure it out? If so keep reading and i will try to explain the (not so) secret to their success.</p>
<p>There are all sorts of people that list all sorts of items for sale on eBay. There are those that list successfully and those that list items unsuccessfully.</p>
<p>There could be a number of reasons for unsuccessful listings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Poor sales title</li>
<li>High postage charges</li>
<li>Poor quality, or no photo of the item</li>
<li>Poor sales letter</li>
<li>Silly terms and conditions of sale</li>
<li>No Returns policy</li>
<li>Poor feedback</li>
<li>Listings ending at the wrong time</li>
</ul>
<p>Or it could simply be the item is not in demand. If you list the same items over and over again without the success you long for, try doing an advanced search of completed listings and see if that item is actually selling. If they are not selling then why bother to list them? Why not move onto items that are in demand?</p>
<p><strong>Q, How do you fine out what is in demand on eBay?</strong></p>
<p>The key thing to consider is Research.</p>
<p><strong>Check the Pulse: </strong><br />
eBay has its own research tools, one of them is the eBay Pulse which shows you what people are currently searching for. The eBay Pulse is a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks and cool stuff on eBay. It starts with the top ten most searched for items.</p>
<p>So the next time you have the opportunity to kick your shoes off and relax do not waste your time watching the repeats on the telly.  Grab yourself a coffee, pull up to your PC with a pen and some paper and get ready to make some notes. To find the eBay pulse all you need to do is click in your browser and enter <strong>pulse.ebay</strong> followed by your local extension, be it .com for the US or .co.uk for the UK.</p>
<p>On the first page of the Pulse it shows you the most popular searches, the largest shops and the most watched items. At the bottom, just beneath the most watched items, you will find <strong>see more eBay pulse categories</strong>, click on that link and you will be taken to a category list. On the left it shows the main categories and on the right it shows the sub-categories. When you find one of interest click the link and see what results are there for the most searched and watched items.</p>
<p>Please bear in mind that rather than trying to please everybody, you are much better off trying to find a niche market that you can specialise in and sell the potential customers exactly what they want, time after time.</p>
<p>Best of luck, Barry</p>

<p>When I write about eBay it is normally with the business seller in mind and I offer advice on how to improve listings, titles, pictures and of course sales. I also try to bring my readers all the current <strong>Business Seller</strong> news and tips etc.</p>
<p>Today however I have a little strategy that I hope will help everyone save some money on their next purchase on eBay, and indeed every purchase there after.</p>
<p>As you know, when you look for an item to buy on eBay you enter a couple of keywords, relating to the item, into the search box and then make your way through the listings.</p>
<p>Next time you are looking to make a purchase on eBay try this:</p>
<p>Click on the <strong>Advanced Search</strong> link, beside the main search button. On the next page enter a couple of keywords, relating to your desired item, into the search box and add <strong>NR</strong> for No Reserve.</p>
<p>Scroll down the page a little and you will see <strong>Search Including</strong> and a check box for <strong>Title and description</strong>, click in the box to reveal a tick.</p>
<p>The next area is for <strong>Price</strong> with a section entitled <strong>show items priced from</strong>, again click the check box to reveal a tick and enter <strong>0.01</strong></p>
<p>Next is the <strong>Buying Formats</strong> area and you have 3 options. Auction, Buy Now and Classified. Click the check box for <strong>Auction</strong> to reveal a tick again.</p>
<p>The next area is <strong>Show Results</strong> and you have lots of options here, but I would advise you keep it simple to start with and click the check boxes for <strong>PayPal</strong> and <strong>Listings &gt;Ending within</strong> and try entering 12 or 24 hours. Lower down in this same area you will see <strong>Delivery Options</strong>, Get It Fast, Free P&amp;P and Collection In Person. Click the check box for <strong>Free P&amp;P</strong> or <strong>Collection In Person</strong>, one at a time. Also try a search without checking this box for even more results, just watch the postage costs are not over charging you.</p>
<p><strong>Please Note:</strong> If you choose <strong>Collection In Person</strong> then in the box below enter a maximum distance from you and your zip or post code.</p>
<p>Next section is the <strong>Item Location</strong>, which you should leave unchecked.</p>
<p><strong>Currency</strong> is next, leave that on Any Currency.</p>
<p>Then we come to <strong>Sellers</strong>, and the first check box is for <strong>Only show items from:</strong> again leave this box unchecked as we want to search the bulk of eBay and not just from a specific seller. Just below this is an area entitled <strong>Seller Type</strong> and here we check the box to reveal a tick and then click the selection for <strong>Private</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Please Note:</strong> If you&#8217;re going to be looking for new items to resell on eBay then you may have a better result if you select <strong>Business seller</strong> in the seller Type. But try both to be sure of finding the best deal.</p>
<p>Only a few more choices to make and you&#8217;ll be able to see your search results.</p>
<p><strong>Sort by</strong>, select Best Match</p>
<p><strong>View results</strong>, select All Items</p>
<p><strong>Results per page</strong>, you have a choice of 25, 50, 100 or 200, but it doesn&#8217;t affect your search.</p>
<p>Now Click the search button at the bottom and all will be revealed.</p>
<p>While I have been writing this blog post I have been completing the same search in exactly the same way as detailed above. As the sun is shinning through my window I searched for <strong>garden sets NR</strong> ending in 12 hours and found a table with 8 matching chairs, used but in good condition, to be collected in person and is currently at £5.50 with 8 hours remaining. The set sold for £35.02 which was still a very good deal to the right person, especially with the lack of spare money around these days.</p>
<p>I found a similar set from B&amp;Q that has only 6 chairs and is priced at £440.33.</p>
<p><strong>Resellers:</strong><br />
If you are looking to buy stock to resell on eBay then try this little gem.<br />
Don&#8217;t enter any keywords in the search box, just the <strong>NR</strong> for No Reserve.<br />
For the Category select <strong>Wholesale &amp; Job Lots</strong><br />
Click the check box for searching <strong>Title and Description</strong><br />
For the Price enter From <strong>0.01</strong><br />
In the Buying Formats select <strong>Auction</strong></p>
<p>You will then be searching eBay and every listing in the wholesale category with no reserve that is starting at just 1p. Give it a try and see what you can find, you never know it could be the best result you&#8217;ve had yet.</p>
<p>Have you ever tried searching for misspelled listings on eBay? If not, then you may be interested to know that I have created a short (brandable) eBook <strong>showing you exactly how and where to search for misspelled items on eBay</strong>, whether to grab a bargain for yourself or to resell the items.</p>
<p>To download the eBook all you need to do is enter your details in the boxes below this post. You&#8217;ll also be able to download <strong>The Leaked Chapters </strong>of<strong> Ease The Squeeze With Auctions</strong>, which is also Brandable and has a sales page ready for eBay listings.</p>

<p>Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p>I wrote a blog post last August about eBay changing the policies over postage of items within the media categories, (books, comics, magazines, DVD&#8217;s, Music etc). eBay felt that the postage prices were putting people off of making purchases and stopped sellers charging postage in all media categories.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very pleased to be able to tell you that eBay have now changed their minds and have returned to the previous policy. You can now charge postage again, however it is set to a maximum limit to stop excessive postal charges.</p>
<p>Although if you continue to list your Fixed Price items with free P&amp;P they will appear higher in the search results.</p>
<p><strong>Further Changes, Coming Next Month:</strong></p>
<p>Items listed as GTC, (Good Till Cancelled) that haven&#8217;t sold in 16 months will automatically end as from April. If this affects you I suggest that you have a good look at what it is you&#8217;re selling or how you&#8217;re trying to sell your items as 16 months without a sale shows that something is going wrong.</p>
<p>As from April all business sellers on eBay will have to display their business details on every sales page. This isn&#8217;t difficult to do as you can set a default that will automatically insert the information for you. To do so log into your eBay account and click My eBay &gt; Account &gt; Site Preferences &gt; Business seller preferences &gt; Show Business Seller Information on the view Item page. You can check your details are correct at the same time.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the BIG change coming to eBay next month; PowerSeller eligibility requirements are being reduced.</p>
<p>Currently, to become a PowerSeller, you have to either sell goods to the value of £750 a month for 3 consecutive months, or you have to sell at least 100 items a month for 3 consecutive months and then maintain that amount of sales volume every month.</p>
<p>As of next month the minimum requirements are being reduced to just 100 items a year or £2000 in sales. There is some criteria that you also need to meet to become eligible for the PowerSeller programme.</p>
<p>You must be registered as a business.<br />
Your Feedback must be at least 98% positive.<br />
You must have been an active eBay member for at least 90 days.<br />
Your DSR (Detailed Seller Rating) must be 4.6 or greater in all 4 areas:</p>
<p>Item as described<br />
Communication<br />
Dispatch time<br />
P&amp;P charges</p>
<p>You must also meet the new Minimum Performance Standard. As you know your DSR is scored from 1 to 5, with 5 being best. If people score you 1 or 2 then you are falling below standard.</p>
<p>The maximum allowance is:</p>
<p>Item as described Max: 1% or 3<br />
Communication Max: 2% or 3<br />
Dispatch time Max: 2% or 3<br />
P&amp;P charges Max: 2% or 3</p>
<p>Policy breaches:<br />
You must not have any minor policy breaches for the previous 90 days and no serious policy breaches  for the previous 180 days.</p>
<p>Serious policy breaches are things like  Feedback Manipulation, Shill Bidding and Counterfeit goods, which will also get your account suspended.</p>
<p>Why not take a couple of minutes to see if you&#8217;re going to meet the new standards? Log into your eBay account and click My eBay &gt; Account &gt; Seller Dashboard. You&#8217;ll then see a summary of your account with your DSR and any low ratings will be clearly visible. In the <strong>seller standing</strong> box you&#8217;ll see a link:</p>
<p><strong>See what it takes</strong> to become Above standard on your next evaluation.</p>
<p>Click the link and you&#8217;ll be taken to your seller performance page where you can see whether you meet the criteria required. You&#8217;re looking for everything to be ticked, down the right of your screen. If you don&#8217;t meet the new requirements the page will show you the areas that you should focus on.</p>
<p>If you do meet the requirements keep working as you are and look out for an email from the eBay Powerseller Team. Although the rule is coming into effect in April you will not be invited to the PowerSeller Programme until May, so just watch out for that email.</p>
<p>Best of luck, Barry</p>

<p>Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p>In my last blog post I told you about my aims for 2010; to create more products in a brand new niche and to create a video series to show newbie&#8217;s exactly what they need to do when they purchase their first website.</p>
<p>I have since had a date through for my operation, 02/02/10, which is my wife&#8217;s birthday and the first birthday of this blog. I have been told that I will have to stay in hospital for at least 2 weeks, if all goes well. Which means I may be in hospital for longer if the operation does NOT go well, grrr.</p>
<p>As a result of this I have decided that the brand new niche idea will have to wait until I&#8217;m discharged from hospital as I don&#8217;t want to be stopping and starting with my research. I think it would be better to complete the challenge in one flow.</p>
<p>So, what about the video series that I&#8217;ve spoke of&#8230;..</p>
<p>Let me introduce you to:<br />
<strong>&#8216;The Newbie&#8217;s Guide To Editing and Uploading Their 1st Website&#8217;</strong> in which I intend to take you from the point of purchase to the point of uploading the completed website.</p>
<p>As YouTube will only allow a maximum of ten minutes per video I am showing you one task at a time, so this may seem a little slow but please bear in mind that this series is aimed at helping people that have never done any of this type of work before.</p>
<p>This first video deals with downloading and unzipping the package.</p>
<p>Please watch the video and feel free to leave your comments. When you have watched the video please continue reading this post, which will be below the video, as I will provide you with links to the websites mentioned during the video.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PA0Ve7nZNrU&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PA0Ve7nZNrU&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>This video series will cover all tasks that you need to complete on any website of this nature, i.e. Downloadable Information Products. In this example I will be using The eBay Info Store.</p>
<p>If you wish to purchase the eBay Info Store please visit:<br />
<a title="The eBay Info Store" href="http://barry-wells.com/info_store" target="_blank"><strong>http://barry-wells.com/info_store</strong></a></p>
<p>To download the trial version of Winzip visit <a title="Winzip" href="http://winzip.com" target="_blank"><strong>http://winzip.com</strong></a> please remember to enter &#8216;free trial&#8217; in the search box and click &#8216;Go&#8217;.</p>
<p>Part 2 of the series will be uploaded tomorrow so that you can start working on your website.</p>
<p>Until then, take care</p>

<p>Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.</p>
<p><strong>A personal update first:</strong><br />
As my regular readers will know I&#8217;ve been fairly quiet lately because my mum suffered a bleed to her brain and has been in hospital for the last 10 weeks. Her life is no longer in danger but her mental state is now very concerning. I&#8217;m spending as much time with her as possible to try and bring her back to current affairs.</p>
<p>As she is now in our local hospital I&#8217;ve got a couple of hours spare each day and am trying to catch up with everything, it&#8217;s slow going but the beauty of internet marketing is that if you do what you can when you can <strong>you will   progress</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Onto the blog post:</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve created a couple of brandable ebooks and have made them available to my subscribers, free of charge of course.</p>
<p>A brandable ebook is an ebook that allows people to brand it with their own details. Some allow websites to be inserted and some allow people to add their ClickBank ID&#8217;s. The reason for this is that the ebooks, (once branded) allow you to earn a commission forever more. The two that I&#8217;ve recently created allow you to enter your ClickBank ID and earn <strong>50% commission</strong> from all sales, generated from your link, of my main product:<br />
<strong><a title="Ease The Squeeze With Auctions" href="http://www.easethesqueezewithauctions.com/" target="_blank">Ease The Squeeze With Auctions</a></strong>.</p>
<p>One of the ebooks is “<strong>The Leaked Chapters Of Ease The Squeeze With Auctions</strong>”, which comes with a sales page ready for listing on eBay.</p>
<p>The second ebook is “<strong>Searching eBay For Misspelled Auction Items and Typo&#8217;s</strong>”,  which I know will help people grab bargains from eBay, whether for themselves or to re-sell on eBay.</p>
<p>To accompany the The Leaked Chapters Of Ease The Squeeze With Auctions I have created 3 videos.<br />
Watch the videos below and you&#8217;ll see just how easy it is to get the ebooks and load the sales page onto Turbo Lister.</p>
<p><strong>The 1st video</strong> is to show you how to get the brandable ebooks.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ZXz_Z1PRUs&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ZXz_Z1PRUs&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong><br />
The 2nd video</strong> shows you how to load (and edit) the sales page onto Turbo Lister.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bfT3TVyZtaI&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bfT3TVyZtaI&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong><br />
The 3rd video</strong> shows you how to configure the listing on Turbo Lister with title, selling format, postage etc etc.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/17FAhtXUeTM&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/17FAhtXUeTM&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Please feel free</strong> to leave a comment and if you would like to take advantage of this free offer just pop your name and email address in the boxes below this post.</p>
<p>Until next time, take care</p>
<p>Regards, Barry</p>
