Read this instruction before starting@eBay has virtually revolutionized the marketplace READ MY INSTRUCTIONS @http://files.meetup.com/796090/eBay%20has%20virtually%20revolutionized%20the%20marketplace%20READ%20ME%20%21.pdf over the last 10 years, a phenomenal development has provided a new platform for markets and auctioneering, causing a massive, world-wide revival in auctions and marketplaces. Lesson 1 And what is it? The Internet. This one, incredible development has already changed the way the world functions on many levels, and markets are no different. Why? If you've been to a real-estate auction, you'll know that the auctioneer would be absolutely overwhelmed with joy by the presence of 50 genuine bidders. At an art auction for a very rare piece, bidders may number a couple of hundred or more. But, with the introduction of the World Wide Web, the potential audience for an auction has increased stratospherically! 2 | P a g e o f 5 eBay as second income and hobby surf shop or sale case‐lesson I http://stores.ebay.com.sg/CONDOTTI‐LAMARSTONE When the online auction site first began in 1995, little did its creators realize that 10 years later, by September 2005, they would have 157 million members worldwide. As for 31 December 2008 are 405.3 million user. As April 2009, has 15,692 store members, It seems that buying and selling provides a thrill that we all want to experience, regardless of our age, culture, or gender. Be an member for info open @http://www.ebayuniversity.com/gotraining/Becoming_An_EBay_Member Registration is free, but you must be at least 18 years of age.

Anyone can browse listings on eBay, and an unregistered guest can make up to two Buy It Now purchases without registering. But to get the full advantages of eBay you must register. It's best to do it now so you'll be ready to bid or buy. ***Curious Fact*** Mysteriously, fierce competition for an item hugely elevates its value in our minds. Psychologists have found that if something is highly sought after by others, we suddenly want it much more desperately than before. This is just as true for Baby G watches as it is for potential life partners! How many times have you suddenly wanted a CD or a high-fashion Von Dutch cap just because everyone's talking about it? Even if you thought it sounded terrible or looked atrocious beforehand? has virtually revolutionized the marketplace in two remarkable ways: 1. It allows items to be bought and sold by people worldwide. 2. Someone from Australia can be bidding against someone from Taiwan for the same digital camera. Someone from a small village in Poland can sell hand-crafted wooden toys to buyers in Mexico and the US. All within the space of a few days! 3. Members have the freedom to buy and sell directly -they are no longer helpless consumers reliant on big name stores and marked-up prices. So what opportunities does this give to YOU, potential buyer, seller and extraordinaire?3 | P a g e o f 5 eBay as second income and hobby surf shop or sale case‐lesson I http://stores.ebay.com.sg/CONDOTTI‐LAMARSTONE First and foremost (and the subject of these lessons!), gives you an amazing opportunity to become an entrepreneur -a buyer and seller of goods -entirely on you own terms and at a very minimal cost. Brilliant! is a marvellous arena to meet people with similar hobbies and interests to your own. So you're passionate about 1950s hotrods or folk art? All these things are for sale on eBay -and purchasing them puts you in touch with a (frequently) equally enthusiastic seller. Access to goods that may be unavailable to you ordinarily because of geographical location. For instance, if the nearest town is 5 hours drive away, it might be quite difficult to get hold of those rare, Victorian crafts that you love to collect so much. The thrill and excitement of watching a bidding war for that ugly vase you got as a wedding present 25 years ago. More choice over what you buy and how much you pay for it. If you prefer to support fair-trade products, then it's so much easier to find them on rather than traipsing around multiple retail outlets. Can you only afford to pay $250 for a digital camera? Choose between 20 different makes and models all around that price . How does an eBay auction work then? 1. First, you must have an item to sell: Once you've found something, check with eBay's guidelines to determine whether or not it is permissible (some items are prohibited) and research its value. 2. Take Photos: Secondly, take a photo of the item that is a clear and accurate representation. You can list an item without a photo, but tests have shown that photos dramatically increase your chance of making a sale. 3. Set up your Auction: You have to write a brief description of the item, including important information such as any flaws, whether or not it has a guarantee, age, brand, dimensions etc. Add your photo to this, along with payment and shipping details. 4. Manage the Auction: Once you've put your details up, you can track how many people have viewed the item, how many have bid on it, and edit listings and manage bids. If your item doesn't sell, you can re-list it. 5. Hooray! A sale: When the auction ends, contact the winning bidder who will pay you. If all goes smoothly, you should then leave positive feedback. 6. Shipping: Establish the most appropriate shipping method and make sure the item is well wrapped. Shipping is a highly important part of the selling process: You don't want your buyer to receive a broken product!
