Is anyone making money selling scrapbooking items on EBAY?

I seem not to be doing so well selling scrapbooking items on EBAY. I keep my prices below everyone elses and I sell top line products. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or is sales down for everyone that is trying to sell on EBAY?

admin answers:

The key is to sell products that cannot be bought in stores. It is hard to compete with the sales in retail stores. Good luck!

Donald asks…

What are some tips for writing eBay ads that sell?

I never seem to have much luck in selling items on eBay, when I am putting things up for auction (not just selling them as a buy-it-now item). I always end up getting screwed over and losing money. The last time I posted an item (a brand new top-selling DVD), I made practically nothing for it. Why are others so successful? What might I be doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

admin answers:

Always put a photo on the auction. Set a reserve price to make sure you get a profit. A reserve price means that it has to sell for that price or higher. Also, be sure to charge enough for shipping, so you don’t lose there. Also, use paypal to accept payment.

In the heading be sure to put as Much as you can think of to help people find your item. Think of the words you would use to search for the item. The more people see it, the better. I would have put the brand ex: New Panasonic DVD player w/ 5 disc changer
if something is used, tell the condition.

Search similar items to see how people list them. Also, to see what they are selling for and how much people charge for shipping.

Be sure to offer a return policy where the buyer is responsible for shipping costs each way. Put a 5 day Limit on returns, too.

how best to sell jewellery on ebay?

i have LOADS of costume jewellery to sell on ebay, i used to be an avid jewellery queen but now am selling everything i can to make extra cash-whats the best way to sell jewellery? should i put it in mixed lots or sell it seperately? maybe free postage would inspire bids?does anyone have any experience selling this kind of thing?

admin answers:

I’d use “costume jewelry” in the auction title.Then I’d use an eye-catching headline.

Maybe put a few “bullet points” in to suggest possible benefits and uses. You can probably tell I know nothing about jewelry, but here goes nothing.

Ahem. For example:

From the way he treated me, I thought this costume jewelry must be the real thing!

I never thought any woman would ever mistake this pretty necklace for the real thing, much less me. But then it happened.

Let me explain. Back when I was fortunate enough to keep these beautiful specimens of rather convincing costume jewelry, it made me feel like a queen for the day. Wearing these “lucky” gems, I didn’t need the real thing at all.

And these gems may not be real, but they always make my eyes sparkle brighter. No woman would ever be fooled, but no man could ever mistake the look in my eye.

Ladies, all I can say is… in my personal experience, this necklace works. As far as I know, it makes me shine from the inside out. That’s what my new husband tells me, anyway. I’ve enjoyed these for so many years. Lord knows. I even somehow found a good, sturdy man who treats me right. Fingers crossed, ladies.

I used to feel just like a princess wearing this studded jade marvel, as long as I remembered to buff it with a soft cloth right before the big night.

Well, I’ll never part with all my favorites, or all the little memories. (I’ll never tell him about them.) But it seems a shame to horde the lot. Especially since there are so many much younger women with no lucky “heirlooms” of their own.

I wanted to share some my bountiful trove with a few lucky bidders. It’s only fair to him that I let go of the most dangerous and naughty ones. Let them go on to someone more adventurous. I only hope my good luck will rub off on you. Maybe some of the sparkle, too. If not, just send it back to me and we’ll still be friends.

Here’s a picture. It’s not very good. You’ll want to get to know the way it makes you look in the mirror before you make your final decision.

I wish you all the luck. If you ask, I’ll happily tell you the stories behind them, as long as you can keep a secret. I love to hear from others on their journey through life. Especially if they appreciate a little adventure.

I’d like to earn just enough to take my honey out for his favorite treat: a Grande Cappucino, but I’m keeping all the rest of these little dazzlers for myself. It’s okay. I still get to keep all the memories.

Since this is a “jade” necklace, please don’t wear it with tacky colors. Pick something bright and daring, especially if you’re an autumn like me.

Try to save it for special occasions like dance, the senior prom, or a friend’s wedding. Otherwise you’ll look overdressed. We don’t want that.

You can wear it to a tennis match, but only if you’re not playing, darling.

You can especially wear it to a polo match, or even the race track, as long as you intend to be noticed, but without raising too much suspicion.

Can you wear it with a pair of jeans? Tennis shoes? A t-shirt? Lying around the pool?

I’ll let you be the artist and try it the way you like best. As for myself, if I don’t have just the right accessory, I will wear it with nothing else. Which is exactly what gets me in trouble quickest.

Laura asks…

How can people afford to offer free shipping for dollar items on ebay?

Someone will sell an item of kids clothes for $0.99 on ebay with free shipping. How do they do this and make money? Wouldn’t the shipping cost more than you would get for a return? Do you just hope that the bids will cover it?

admin answers:

When a seller offers auctions starting at .99 with free shipping they are usually trying to draw people into bidding on their item. It is typically a legit item they are just wanted to make some good money off of. They do hope that the bids will cover for both the cost of the item and the shipping. Many sellers must make a risk by doing this in order to make some money. The thing with Ebay is that the higher your starting auction price is, the higher the fee they charge you. And then don’t forget all those other fees ebay and pay pal charge you!! that is why many auctions start out so cheap.

Mandy asks…

how does ebay’s free shipping work?

I have a nintendo wii I want to sell on ebay, they have a thing going on right now that every wii on ebay is free shipping. Now since free shipping is the only option to choose, do I pay the shipping fee in the end or does ebay?

admin answers:

eBay will NOT pay for anything — you pay your fees to eBay.

That means that you as the seller will pay for the shipping. So you should hope that the bid price is enough to cover the cost of the item plus shipping

Michael asks…

Is it illegal to sell a product that came free with a magazine?

Starting tomorrow the shop where I work has an offer on a magazine, where every person who purchases the magazine costing £2.00 gets a full sized bottle of Aussie 3 minute miracal conditioner for your hair. It is worth/on sale at £5.99. I want to buy 6 magazines at £2.00 each- £12 altogether and take 1 product for each magazine to sell on Ebay for a reduced price- something less than the £5.99 found in the shops. How does this work with regard to the law? Am I allowed to do this or not? Can I also sell the magzines again for a reduced price? If it is illegal to do it then please let me know and I will reconsider. However I do believe that their is a good profit to be made.
The product does not say NOT FOR RETAIL SALE, has a barcode and contains 200ml of product becuase I have now seen it and considering it is only for 1 day I don’t think anyone will mind.

admin answers:

No, it is legal for you already pay for that product when U buy your magazine, noticing that the free product may not contain the same quantity of conditioner as the original bottle even they have the same size

Mark asks…

How do people sell things with ”free shipping”?

(On ebay) I notice some people offer free shipping on all of their stuff & on the package it will say ”postage paid” how are they able to do this?

admin answers:

Some work the cost of their shipping into their asking price. Others just want to sell the stuff as quickly as possible so they take a “bite” out of their profit by paying for the shipping.

David asks…

How old do I have to be to sell things on Ebay or Amazon.com?

So here’s the thing, i want to buy something online, but I need pay pal, and my parents won’t let me use their credit cards, so I decided to sell some stuff, and then the money made will be directed to a magic pay pal account which I will then use to purchase said thing. So how old do I have to be? And could I just fake my age? Anything else I should know?

admin answers:

You have to be 18. I do not recommend getting around the age limit by falsifying your age.

Consider buying a prepaid credit card or amazon.com gift certificate with cash (they sell them at the supermarket) and then using the prepaid cards to make your purchases, rather than using your parents accounts.

Michael asks…

How easy is it to sell things on eBay?

Hello from the UK!

I buy the odd thing off of eBay but have never sold anything, but now I have chance.

As I’ve never done it before, how straightforward is it? Also, how do I work out postage costs before sending the item?

Sorry if I come across as stupid but I’m not really clued up on all this!

admin answers:

It is very easy its self explanatory as you go along, you choose the options you want and how long you want to list it for etc. As for postage, go to the post office with the item you are selling and ask them to weigh it for you as you want to know how much its going to cost. You choose how you wish to mail it recorded delivery etc. Ask them how much it will cost via the shipping method you have chosen and then list it at that price for postage.Remeber though if you want it to make a certain amount either put a reserve price on it so it goes for no less than that, or make that amount your starting bid.

Charles asks…

Can you give me some advice on how to sell things on eBay?

I don’t mean basic stuff like how to sell an item, but I mean how to get people interested more and how to succeed in getting people to bid on your stuff.

Any examples would help. Thanks in advance.

admin answers:

O.K suppose you know a lot of people? you know what they need & want to buy, sell those items and inform them that your auction on ebay provide the items that they are looking for.

One word of warning though, in my experience your “friends” can help you out but don’t depend on them alone or else you will fail.
All the information about how to sell your items, you will find on ebay.

Carol asks…

Question about selling things for others on ebay and making money.?

I have sold a couple of things on ebay and a couple of family members and friends had asked if i would sell for them. I know that Ebay stores use to be big like in the movie the 40 yr old. I need to know what would be a good price to charge for my service on selling. And if there is anything that I should be aware of, because I am thinking about starting my own business selling stuff for others.

admin answers:

That’s a good idea you have there. I have just read about the eBay trading assistant program. If you want to sell items for others, you may want to become a Trading assistant for them.

Trading assistants usually charge a certain percentage of the item price that they are selling for another member. If you’re the one who’s going to pay for the Final Value Fee, then that charge should cover all the fees you’ll incur in listing the items. You must also think of the overhead you might incur during the listing like handling, creating the listing itself, the time you put into each listing you’re creating… You’ll earn a lot here if you can manage your sales with your clients. ^_^

I heard there are trading assistants who charge from 25% – 50% depending on the face value of the item they’re listing.

Paul asks…

how do you get the money by selling things on ebay?

i know you have to use paypal. but how do you get the money from paypal? how does this whole making money from ebay thing work?

admin answers:

You can have your money from paypal direct deposit into your bank account. You can also get a visa debit directly from paypal.

Making money on ebay requires a creative mind. There are wholesale products that you can buy with not much money at all, just be creative with how you sell it. Research other sellers that are doing good and copy there actions but put your own personal touch to it.
