If you're new to eBay selling then "Freaking Idiots Guide To Selling on eBay," is the book that you should have. It's a step by step guide from a guy who has done it successfully thousands of times. In fact he's got $ 397,252.88 in sales to prove it...talk about inspiring and motivational!
Well before I knew that; the title inspired me. Not that I consider myself an idiot; far be from it; but I was ignorant to the fact of how to successfully navigate and sell on eBay. This guide allowed me because of its easy layout to follow it to the `T" in setting up my account and going about getting listed.
Now you're going to have to put on your MONEY GOGGLES! What's that you may ask; no worries I wondered the same thing. You don't have to buy anything; just change your perception of what is around you. Gosh when Nick was finished opening my eyes my home started looking like a hidden gold mind!
Like I said this book is for the beginner and you will definitely have a jump on those who have not read this book because you're getting advice from an expert. The author teaches you that profitable items are every where and he guides you to adopt an `out of the box thinking' style.
Here's just a few listings of what you will learn from this guide; which I think are the most critical.
1. The most commonly used ways of listing,
2. How to set an auto decline (real time saver here)
3. How to make your first sale
4. Writing compelling titles (This is a deal cincher)
5. Tips on how to write the best description
Now like I mentioned this is just a small list, there's tons more that you will learn and they will serve to help you to customize your offerings.
Oh and this book is also short and to the point. All the B.S has been removed so you don't fall asleep and never get that listing done. And with that said; there's one tiny, tiny comment the author made that I disagree with. He mentions that eBay "hits" you with an 8-15% sellers fee. Shucks; there's a service place that HITS you with a 20% fee on each gig, then you get charged another percentage when you transfer your funds. So eBay fees are reasonable... surely no one's getting "hit" with them.
Like I said it's tiny. I was using a service gig company before. They're cool as a great place to get your feet wet but at the end of the day you're essentially working for peanuts when you're offering services.
I've read a couple other guides on eBay selling but they were just too long. I like to cut to the chase and that's what Nick provided in helping me get started. So my suggestion in case you missed it: Get The Book & Put Your Money Goggles On!
