Selling on Ebay, Working From Home

This Guide has lots of tips on how to get started selling on Ebay.It's NOT aimed at peoplewho want to buy pallets of Mobile Phones or Laptops and make a million in a week - there are plenty of e-books to tell you about that ( and for only ONE PENNY!!)

So youve bought some bargains from Ebay and can find your way round. You understand how Feedback works, you have a Paypal account and youve started looking round your house speculatively, wondering what you could sell to make a profit. It suits you to earn a little money working from home, you need the flexibility and have a bit of space. You are ready to start learning how to become a Seller!

Consider selling clothes or toys to start with every house has stuff surplus to requirements. Be aware that you can sell your own stuff without breaking any rules, but the moment you buy something with the intention of selling it for a profit, you are effectively running a business and must register with the Inland Revenue. Local Business Links can give very good advice about this.
You need some space just for selling space to store things, space to store packing materials and space for your computer, paper, pens, etc. The good news is you dont need much - Desk or table for the computer, big bookshelf for packing stuff and a few plastic or even cardboard boxes to store items.
You need a camera or camera phone that takes good pictures. Dont bother selling anything without a means of taking photos and getting them easily onto your computer. Preferably take 3 or 4 photos per item, showing all the best bits and any damage or makers marks/labels. Always put your photo first, then a few lines of text explaining it underneath. As children, we learn to read by looking at a picture and then reading the word underneath, so a listing is clearer in that format.
Do your research before you even take a photo look up in Completed Items what your item actually sold for. A good tip is to filter the results (box at the right hand side) in order of Highest first so that you can see the best price your item sold for. Be careful to compare like with like for instance if a Silver Cross pram usually sells for 200, check yours is exactly the same model, with the same attachments, in the same condition.
Most sales on Ebay are made after people have searched for a particular item. This means your Title is the next most important thing after your photo, so make it work for you. Buyers do NOT search for WOW!! or LOOK!! or Wonderful, Amazing, Cute, Sweet, Unusual, Pretty,etc etc. They search for Beswick or Nike or Nokia N70 Mobile Phone so make sure you use the right words.
Also dont describe your item, think about what buyers want. This takes practice, but for example dont put Very nice jacket with 6 buttons and long sleeves even if it is. A much better title is Long Red Velvet Monsoon Jacket Ladies Size 12. All these statements may be true, but some will be searched for and some will not. If you are not sure, put the words in the Completed Items box and see what comes up.
Consider making a ME page. This is very easy, and allows you to list your terms and conditions, also you can put up some more information about yourself. To See My ME PAGE, CLICK HERE
Finally Customer Service Be polite, friendly and efficient and you will have few problems, and youll enjoy the Ebay experience much more. Remember, if a Buyer is paying you for an item, they have a right to expect it will be as described and reach them safely and quickly. Dont clutter your page up with long lists of I will not accept BLAH BLAH BLAH and By placing a bid you agree to BLAH BLAH BLAH Trust me, no-one reads them anyway.

disable some updates and authentication Windows XP !!!

The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication 'features' in WindowsXP.

For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended.

Bluetooth headsets - Innovation not always better!

With this brief review about Bluetooth mobile phone headsets, I would like to invite you to take a moment and read this so that I may point out to you why an innovative idea does not necessarily mean it will enhance your life in every way. Whereas there is no doubt that Bluetooth being innovative in many of its aspects, I would like to take a moment and clear up why this can not be said about mobile phone Bluetooth headsets.Does it sound familiar to you; You are on a call with another person and you can not understand a word that is spoken? You keep asking the other one to repeat every spoken word until your frustration reaches boiling point and you beg the person on the other side of the line to switch off their Bluetooth headset, but their pride of having purchased a new Bluetooth headset encourages them to keep using this innovative piece of technology.As innovative as Bluetooth technology may be, it actually is more of a hindrance for mobile phone voice communication. Have we not all experienced the above conversation and have either asked the person on the other end to switch their Bluetooth Headset off, or have we been the person that tried to convince the receiving one that even though you are talking to them through your Bluetooth Headset, they should be able to understand you clearly and if they can not, it is not because of your headset? At different times, I have been both.If you can, communicate with your friends, family and especially business partners by actually holding the mobile phone to your ear and mouth. Yes, I am talking about the way that used to be most normal to makemobile, or for that matter, telephone conversations with.What's the advantage? You will not look like a fool walking down the street, appearing to be talking to yourself and whats more, the person on the other end of the phone can actually understand what you are saying!It is surprising that Bluetooth has gained that many followers amongst the mobile phone voice communication industry, considering what a disadvantage this technology actually brings to communicating with each other. Any manual attached mouthpiece/microphone delivers better if not perfect quality conversation than Bluetooth Headsets. I have purchased a new phone a few months ago and got a free Earplug and Microphone with my new cell phone which you could easily attach to your phone by cable. Additionally I have purchased this cool and innovative Bluetooth headset - only to realize, the Bluetooth headset was such a waste of money for reasons stated above. The earplug and microphone that came for free with the phone, deliver much better service than any Bluetooth Headset I have ever tried. Innovative is not always better!

Over priced ear piercing studs

I have noticed several adverts selling 24k gold plated ear piercing studs on buy it nowthat are vastly over priced!

One advert is selling 2 dozen pairs of 24k plated studs in packets on a buy it now price of 49.99! These studs are available from caflon (the ear piercing specialists) for 6.50 per dozen.

Just because it is on ebay it doesnt mean that it is a bargain, type in caflon or studex on google and you will find many more studs from reputable sellers at much lower prices.

FAKE FRANCE AWAY SHIRT 2006 / 2007

Most of the time every single France away shirt (2006 World Cup) on
eBay is fake; the differences are obvious once you receive a fake shirt
but from a photograph it's very difficult to tell the difference. The
thing to look for is the shape of the small red part under the collar;
on the authentic shirts this is always long and thin; on the fake
shirts it is much larger and shaped like a half circle. It's difficult
to explain so check out the image !
