5 Hidden Resources For eBay Users |
|
|
Many thousands of people making a living both buying & selling
on eBay. Currently ranked as the 37 biggest site on the net
(according to Alexa figures) eBay shows no signs of slowing
down, even fortune 500 companies are opening eBay shops to sell
surplus & unwanted stock. The following are five resources that
I use personally & encourage you to use them to increase your
eBay profits with ease.
Reports show that over 90% of searches on eBay are done using
the search facility. What users do not know about eBays search
factility is that by default it only searches the item titles -
not the descriptions of the items. Remember this fact as it will
show the significance of some of the resources listed below.
1) FatFingers
How professional a seller are you? Do you check your listings
before submitting them or even does someone else proof read them
for you? With millions of listings on eBays networks of sites at
any one time, a small proportion of these listings contain
errors - & a misspelt word is about the biggest error you can
make.
Imagine your selling a Sony Television for example. What if you
misspell the item as Sony Televisoin. Anyone who searches for
the term "Sony Television" simply isn't going to be presented
with your item. Only those eBayers who search manually though
the category will find your items. Needless to say that if
people can't find your item, they're unable to bid on them.
FatFingers is a service you can use to find all misspelt
variations of a term. Why would you need such a service?
Well obviously if an item has low visibility on eBay it's also
likely to have zero or few bids enabling you to snap yourself up
a bargain. I've known people use this service to make a full
time living, purely buying items cheaply and relisting them
without errors.

2) eBay Pulse
Back to the search facility eBay pulse shows you the top 10
searched keywords in every category. It's a real gem of a
service, obviously by looking at the most widely used search
terms |

|
|
you can see what eBayers are after. And if your selling in
this category, by inserting some of these keywords within your
title your items will be seen by more users.
The only thing to watch out with this service is make sure the
keywords are relevant to your item, IF NOT DON'T USE THEM. How
many times have you saw listings such as "SONY PANASONIC LG
WIDESCREEN DIGITAL TELEVISION GUIDE", - listings such as these
are well thought out to earn high visibility from the way users
search. Anyone searching for the items with any of the keywords
will uncover your listings.
While it may lead to a high number of views, firstly fellow
users will get annoyed if they find your item completely
unrevealed to what they searched for, Secondly keyword spamming
as it is known, is against eBay policy and will lead to your
item being pulled. I use pulse daily with all my listings but
make sure it's relevant to your item first.

3) Keyword-Pro
Keyword-Pro is a commercial subscription service which is
similar to eBay pulse. However, the main difference is
Keyword-Pro offers a much more in depth list of relevant
keywords. It lists the top 50 keywords for every category for
both eBay.co.uk & eBay.com. This is a great addition, especially
if any of the terms found in eBay pulse are not relevant to your
item.
Keyword-Pro is available as both a web service or as a small
program that downloads the list onto your P.C. It's data is
updated weekly to keep you informed of the latest search terms.

4) Selling Manager
When you first open a selling account on eBay, options listed
under the sell tab of eBay are enough to get you by. However,
you can upgrade to a more in depth service known as Selling
Manager. As eBay describes the service "eBay Selling Manager is
our online sales management tool for medium to high volume
sellers". It allows you to track every eBay sale, customise your
feedback comments, print shipping labels & much more. It saves
me about four |

hours a week tracking orders and watching my
sales.
Selling Manager is FREE on eBay.co.uk & has a small monthly
charge of on eBay.com (after one a month trial free). Once I
moved over to Selling Manager, there's simply no way I would go
back.

account.
5) Hot Item Finder
Performing a market analysis is one of the most important ways
to maximize your net revenue once you have listed enough
auctions to collate plenty of raw data. "Hot Item Finder"
software program is an unbelievable product to conduct this eBay
research. You can extract and analyze licensed eBay data and
statistics to virtually ensure your auction success by seeing
what has sold, for how much, how many bids it got, etc. Visit
the website here:

I hope you find these services useful & time saving in your goal
for a successful home business on eBay. Remember, your most
important resource is your time when your starting or building
up an online business & if you discover any site, person or
opportunity that can save you time give it the attention &
serious consideration it deserves. Every top Internet marketers
constantly educate themselves by purchasing & reviewing almost
every new product released. The way I look at it, if an ebook
costs $197 and the information within the ebook saves me this or
allows me to make an additional $197 it's well worth it - once
you can do it once you'll be able to repeat the exercise over
and over again making repeated profits. If you discover a
precious eBay related resource let me know & I'll consider
revising this list for future editions.
Good luck with your eBay selling.
