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.

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?

Want it now: 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.

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog:

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.

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.

There could be a number of reasons for unsuccessful listings:

• Poor sales title
• High postage charges
• Poor quality, or no photo of the item
• Poor sales letter
• Silly terms and conditions of sale
• No Returns policy
• Poor feedback
• Listings ending at the wrong time

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?

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 Business Seller news and tips etc.

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.

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.

Next time you are looking to make a purchase on eBay try this:

Click on the Advanced Search 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 NR for No Reserve.

Scroll down the page a little and you will see Search Including and a check box for Title and description, click in the box to reveal a tick.

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.

I wrote a blog post last August about eBay changing the policies over postage of items within the media categories, (books, comics, magazines, DVD’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.

I’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.

Although if you continue to list your Fixed Price items with free P&P they will appear higher in the search results.

Further Changes, Coming Next Month:

Items listed as GTC, (Good Till Cancelled) that haven’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’re selling or how you’re trying to sell your items as 16 months without a sale shows that something is going wrong.

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog.

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’s exactly what they need to do when they purchase their first website.

I have since had a date through for my operation, 02/02/10, which is my wife’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.

As a result of this I have decided that the brand new niche idea will have to wait until I’m discharged from hospital as I don’t want to be stopping and starting with my research. I think it would be better to complete the challenge in one flow.

So, what about the video series that I’ve spoke of…..

Let me introduce you to:
‘The Newbie’s Guide To Editing and Uploading Their 1st Website’ in which I intend to take you from the point of purchase to the point of uploading the completed website.

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.

A personal update first:
As my regular readers will know I’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’m spending as much time with her as possible to try and bring her back to current affairs.

As she is now in our local hospital I’ve got a couple of hours spare each day and am trying to catch up with everything, it’s slow going but the beauty of internet marketing is that if you do what you can when you can you will   progress.

Onto the blog post:
I’ve created a couple of brandable ebooks and have made them available to my subscribers, free of charge of course.

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’s. The reason for this is that the ebooks, (once branded) allow you to earn a commission forever more. The two that I’ve recently created allow you to enter your ClickBank ID and earn 50% commission from all sales, generated from your link, of my main product:
Ease The Squeeze With Auctions.
