Make Quick Money With eBay

eBay is one of the world's largest trading communities where millions of people buy and sell new or used products everyday. Using eBay as a buyer or as a seller is fairly simple.
As a buyer, all you need to do is: " set up a paypal account " register " search the site for what you are looking for AND... either place a bid on what you want, or buy instantly; it's that simple.

Selling is a little more work ( if you wanna call it that ). But it's worth it, considering you'll be getting paid, granted your item or items sell.

As a seller, all you have to do is: " once again set up a paypal account " register " login to the site " list your product(s) and your all set.

You can practically sell anything. Everything from antique dolls to video games, clothes to musical, you name it and you probably can find it. Some people make a career out of eBay, buying products at wholesale prices, setting up an online store and selling products 24/7. Others on the other hand may use it as a way to get some quick cash, and it can be done easily !!

If you are looking to make some quick cash, here is a few tips on helping you do so. First off ask yourself what do you own that you don't use or you just don't want anymore. It might be an old jacket that you may have grown out of, or maybe you have a stereo that has been collecting dusk in your closet for the past few years. Now, all you need to do is list these products. Just remember that presentation is everything. Take some really good pictures of whatever you are selling ( always have a picture with your listing ), give a detailed description of the item and don't be hesitant in using some of the design features to give a little life to your listing, it does help .

There's two different ways to list your item, buy now and auction. I recommend using the auction option because you have the opportunity to get more for your item then you expected, rather then buy now; where you set one price and hope people are willing to pay that price. When doing an auction, set the staring price lower the what you really want, never start the bidding at the price you actually want. I would suggest taking 10% off the price you really want to start the bidding. If you are listing an item as a "buy now" remember this, don't make the price real low because people will be suspicious and hesitate to buy, and don't make it too high because most people come to eBay looking for a good deal; so their not going to pay a ridiculous amount. If used properly, you can definitely make some quick cash!

One more tip- Great places to go to find items to sell are garage sales. You can usually find some really good deals at garage sales. Buy the products take them home and list them on eBay.

How to Join Ebay

OK. For years you have heard about Ebay, and maybe you have taken a look. But you have still failed to make the first vital step to actually Join Ebay. Well, it is the right choice? Let's take a look.

There are a number of things to consider if you do Join Ebay and join in on the fun. There are a few precautions to take, just to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

1ST: Read Auctions Carefully for Items you place bids on. Most auctions have good pictures and descriptions, but just check everything over so you know what you are getting. Many items are used, but most sellers are pretty good at disclosing what is what and showing pictures and descriptions of everything.

2ND: Check Seller Feedback. You can see a seller's feedback, and ready every comment from past buyers. Just make sure the feedback percentage is high, over 97% positive, and read a few of the comments if it is a bigger purchase.

3RD: Set Personal Limits. Ebay can be a lot of FUN if you don't get carried away. Some people align Ebay with gambling in the way that you can get a rush while you are bidding, etc. That means, like gambling, you need to say, ok I am willing to pay NO MORE than X Dollars for this item. And once you are outbid on that amount, you STOP. However, the difference between Ebay and gambling is on Ebay if you get carried away you might spend too much for something that is hopefully useful. In gambling, you don't get anything but a thank you and maybe a room comp if you keep losing big!

Well. Ebay has many advantages regardless. You can truly find many great and useful things on Ebay, both used and new, at discount prices. You can get Laptops, Nutritional Items, Personal Care Items, Cell Phone Accessories, Antiques, Hard to Find Parts for your car, etc. You can find both hard to find items, and find them at cheaper prices than you might at traditional stores or other Online vendors. Again, Ebay can be a lot of fun, and if you heed a bit of caution with what you buy and how much you pay, you can have some fun while buying, and get many good and useful things you may have a need for.

A guide to buying antique silver on ebay

Hello and welcome to the Silver2treasure guide to buying Antique Silver on eBay. Tips on before you buy, handling silver,affordability, where else to buy, starting a collection, our eBay guide, the silver2treasure shop and ends on modern silver.
Before you buy

It is no good crying over spilt milk or so the saying goes. There is no excuse for not educating yourself before you step into the world of buying antique silver especially on line. Research is essential especially in regard to expensive items. Having said this there is a lot of help available to you. The beauty of British silver is in the Hallmarking system. In our main website at Silver2Treasure we have pages linked to reference sites for British and Continental Hallmarks which are essential references for the new and experienced buyer alike. You will also want to consider the benefit of investing in silver and our main website contains an article with some of the benefits of investing in silver. Value has strong links to weight in the silver world and understanding the different definitions of an "ounce" can be found in another helpful page at Troy ounce Whilst the internet is a rich source of information there is nothing like a good reference book and I recommend Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks together with International Hallmarks on Silver collected by Tardy. There are many more and we have created a web page of silver books on eBay at Antique Silver Books as an easy staring point. Despite your best efforts in research be prepared to make mistakes. We all do and it is all part of the learning experience.

Handling Silver

You might think this a strange heading but I really believe you need to pick up and touch and feel a variety of silver in your early days of collecting. You can do this at Antique Fairs, Flea Markets and Auction Houses as well as high street shops. You will feel how a thick heavy gauge antique silver item such as a teapot feels completely different to a mass produced modern example. You will better understand the difference by an embossed decoration and an engraved decoration by its feel much better than reading this in any book. For me the whole beauty of silver is in its ability for everyday use. I am not a fan of leaving it locked away in a vault or cupboard. By handling as much different silver as you can early on in your collecting life you will quickly learn what styles or makers that appeal to you most and this will help to focus your area of collecting.

What can you afford to buy?

This one is purely down to you. The best tip I can give is buy the most expensive and original piece you can afford. I would always look for a quality maker and a un repaired or un restored item. If possible pieces without engravings or armorials are more desirable and will appreciate in value quicker. A quick note on condition. Any antique silver item has had many owners. It the early days of its existence it would have been owned by someone of wealth employing servants. They may not always have lavished the love and care you may be able to. Transfer of ownership over the years attracts wear and tear and you should expect some minor dents or dings on anything you buy. If you do find a piece without any wear and tear it will be rare indeed and very valuable or maybe something to be cautious about.

Where to go to buy?

Ebay obviously? Well actually yes but with some significant qualifications. First you should have visited a number of antique fairs, flea markets and auction houses to get a "feel for silver". Part of this process might also include antique shops and dealers. Here you will get a lot of advice, knowledge and help but at a price. They will have building and staff overheads which they have to pass on to the customer. Ebay however allows private collectors and dealers alike to trade without having to factor in these costs. Please read the following eBay part of this guide carefully.

Starting your collection

Your collection will be as varied and as personal as your taste allows. Some collect periods and styles such as baroque, rococo, queen anne, georgian, victorian, art deco, art nouvea etc the choice is endless. Some collect specific items such as caddy spoons or vesta cases (please see my other ebay guide on Vesta Cases). Whatever you choose there is a lifetime of pleasure ahead of you as well as creating a family heirloom which can be handed on through future generations; remember we are but temporary guardians of these beautiful items.

Our eBay guide to buying silver.

In your research phase you would be wise to read all of eBays own guides to buyers. Remember if an auction looks too good to be true it probably is! Of all the advice I would start first at knowing your seller. Why is this important? Well if what you buy has a problem you will want to get it resolved quickly and without hassle. Look for the sellers feedback and pay particular attention to the number of feedbacks and then look at as many feedback entries as you can. This will give you a good idea of how the seller conducts themselves. View our feedback Check they have a returns policy and if they don't then email them and ask. Use the email the same as if the person was in the room with you; do not be afraid to ask as many silly questions as you like. The sellers should respond positively and helpfully.If they do not, find a seller who does. Look through the eBay Shop categories, find the biggest sellers and go through their shop listings, there are many things you will never find by just focussing on eBay auctions alone.

Check you understand the paypal buyer protection and does the seller display the paypal logo. If you view a shop see if they have the best offer option on listings. A realistic offer may save you 10 - 15% off the asking price all for the cost of a click of the mouse! Be very cautious of postage charges especially where they include insurance. Most carriers do not insure antique silver to travel from the UK abroad, however this is not widely known and you do not want to discover it is uninsured if you have to make a claim, if in doubt email and ask. Remember my earlier advice on research? At www.silver2treasure.com we have web pages where you will find Most popular silver on ebay Newly listed silver on ebay Completed listings with prices made all created so that you do not have to trawl through loads of web pages.

Silver2 Treasure on eBay

If you read and follow the above advice we hope to see you sometime in our eBay shop at We only trade on eBay and take pride in our silver stock and customer service. Our website at Silver2Treasure has useful advice and guidance on silver and as well as our ebay shop it links back to eBay for specific categories of silver. The whole site has been designed to make your ebay silver buying experience a pleasure. And a final note, don't completely ignore modern silver as this is the antique of the future!

Drop Shipping on Ebay

Drop shipping on ebay can be very tough now-a-days. It can also be very rewarding if you do it right. There was a time when drop shipping and ebay were much more profitable. Now everyone and their mother is trying to drop ship on ebay. It's not an easy task anymore, considering everyone else is drop shipping the same items you are. What's worse is; you have people like me, who buy in bulk to resell. I get my goods much cheaper because I buy in bulk and offer much lower prices on ebay than you can offer.
First you have to find some products to sell. Finding the best products for you is the most important part. Don't worry about what someone else is making money on. Try and find some products that sell well, without a lot of competition. Find some categories that have little or no competition.

In order to drop ship on ebay you have be creative. So, if there is competition(and I am sure there will be); you have to offer things your competition isn't offering. You have to do things differently than your competition isn't doing. I have said this tons of times, I know, but it's important. How else are you going to beat your competitions prices unless you get creative to give the customer more?

I have a great tip to offer you with drop shipping. Bundle/Combo deals.

Here are some numbers.

Let's say someone is buying bulk in wholesale. They buy 100 units for $50.00 each. The units retail for $95.00. They make $45.00 dollars profit on each unit.

You can get 1 unit for $70.00 if you have it drop shipped. You obviously can't beat the competition getting it at $50.00 each unit and you would lose customers. Plus, you will only make $25.00.

But, if you get 3 accessories that go with the unit. Each accessory costs you $20.00 each and usually sell for $45.00 in stores. You will make $75. 00 profit on just the accessories if you sell them for what they usually sell for.

Now you add the accessories into a package deal with the main unit. Now you have a package deal worth $230.00(the unit $95.00/ accessories $135.00). Now you stand to make $100.00 profit and you are offering something your competition isn't, a combo deal.

So, if your competition is selling their unit for $85.00 , it won't matter. They are not offering any accessories. Customers want everything in one place.

You stand to make $100.00 combined profit between the unit and accessories. While the competition is only making $45.00 profit. So you could actually lower your price $50.00 more and make your offer even more attractive to buyers. You will still make $50.00 profit.

The customer will get everything in a combo deal cheaper than they could get anywhere else. Because you made up your own custom unit and accessories bundle that nobody else was offering. This is why it is good to know what you are selling.

Know what you sell. Know what accessories go with each main unit. Know what kind of batteries it takes. Know every little detail about what you sell. Keep on top of everything new that comes out for it. Everyday new technology comes out that goes hand and hand with a main unit we already own.

Think about how many accessories you can use with an Ipod or cell phone. There are thousands of different combo deals you could make. Combo deals that no other seller is offering. That will make your auctions more attractive to someone who wants everything at once.

FYI; It is forbidden on ebay to put items up for auction that are not in your possession.Ebay frowns upon drop shipping and they do not allow it. Unless you use an ebay recommended company like worldwide brands. World wide brands is the only source company that ebay recommends for drop shipping. Thousands of people drop ship on ebay and have done so for years. It's something I never really got. They don't allow it, but they let us do it.

Just be careful and be smart about the drop shippers you choose to work with. There are some terrible drop shippers who don't care about your ebay reputation. Drop shipping on ebay can get pretty risky if you don't know what you are doing. I have seen some great ebayers reputations ruined from bad drop ship companies.

Ebay and drop shipping can be a great experience. Just be careful who you choose to do business with. Be careful about the products you sell. Get creative and make some profit. Try offering something your competition doesn't offer. Make up some bundle and combo deals so you offer something original that everyone wants.

Ebay Business: 10 Tips for Increasing Your eBay Response

So you've got the buyer in front of your auction, and they've read the description. They're must be interested, or they wouldn't be looking… but just how can you push them over that line and make them leave a bid? Read on for some tips.
Improve your picture: In all that description writing, you might have missed the vital importance of your item's picture. A picture with bad lighting or an intrusive background looks amateurish and won't make anyone want to buy from you.

Add an About Me page: You'll be surprised how much you can reassure bidders just by creating an About Me page and putting a little bit about yourself on your business on there. You can also have a few special offers there for people who bother to look at the page, and let people subscribe to your mailing list so that you can email them updates.

Use SquareTrade: Signing up at SquareTrade and displaying their logo on your auctions shows that you are committed to have them resolve any disputes that arise. You always see this on PowerSellers auctions - it makes you look more professional.

Write terms and conditions: Have the 'small print' clearly visible on all your auctions, giving details of things like shipping times and prices, your refund policy, and any other business practices you might have. This helps build confidence with buyers.

Show off your feedback: Copy and paste a selection of the feedback comments you're most proud of to each item's description page, instead of making bidders go and look for it. If you have 100% positive feedback, be sure to write that on every auction too.

Add NR to your titles: If you have extra space in a title, put 'NR' (no reserve) on the end. Bidders prefer auctions that don't have a reserve price, and doing this lets them see that yours don't.

Benefits not features: Make sure your description focuses on the benefits that your item can give to the customer, not just its features. This is a classic sales technique. If you have trouble with this, remember: 'cheap' is a feature, 'save money' is a benefit.

List more items: If you want more people to respond to your items, then list more items! You might find you have better like listing items at the same time, instead of one-by-one. There's no need to use a Dutch auction - you can just keep two or three auctions going at once for an item you have more than one of in stock.

Accept unusual payment methods: To reach those last few buyers, accept payment methods that many sellers don't, like cheques.

Buy some upgrades: The best upgrade is the most expensive one, which makes your item appear first in search results. In crowded categories, you might find that this is worth the money.

Once you've got some buyers, you want to keep them coming back to you. The next email will show you how to turn one-time buyers into long-term customers.
