Approach Marketing

You’ve probably heard the success stories about those who have made it big on eBay. Maybe you’ve wondered if it could really be true. Well, the truth is that it is possible, and more than that, it can really happen for you too. You just need to know how to sell on eBay properly. How do you learn? Well the good news is it’s not that hard to learn how to sell on eBay. But there’s a big difference between learning how to sell on eBay to make a little bit of spending money and selling on eBay to make a living. Regardless of why you want to sell on eBay, one of the most important things to concentrate on when you start is customer service.

If you have poor customer service on eBay, your odds of being a success are little to none. This is because eBay has a well-established rating system. This rating system allows buyers to rate the people they have bought from on different key factors. Examples of these key factors are communication, shipping time, and whether the product was properly described. This rating system is how buyers determine how to trust certain sellers. With so many charlatans out there, it’s important for buyers to be able to review the seller’s reviews from their other customers.

If you have low feedback right now, a great thing to do is build your feedback as a buyer. Having both buyer and seller feedback shows that you are a trustworthy person. Buy inexpensive items on eBay to gain experience. Read the reviews and feedback of the sellers you want to buy from. As a buyer, see if you can trust them.

The feedback reviews give buyers a good indication of whether or not a buyer they should do business with someone. When starting to learn how to sell on eBay you have to make sure that you are pleasing your customers. This could mean that sometimes you will have to go above and beyond for your customers. While this may seem to be a little time consuming it is vital to your success. Selling on eBay will gradually get easier as time moves on. As you gain more and more experience and get more feedback from satisfied customers you will be able to relax a little.

But even though can you relax a little, you’ll find you’re always learning how to sell on eBay. This is because eBay’s policies change. With all of the policy changes you may find yourself a little confused from time to time. Don’t worry. This happens and it is all a part of being in business for yourself.

If you’ve been selling on eBay for some time, you probably have a list with a few hundred or even a few thousand customers. Have you done anything to market to these customers?

Keeping an existing customer is over 5 times cheaper than trying to obtain a new one. If you already have the customer, don’t throw away the time and money it took to obtain it.

Here’s one way you can take advantage of your previous customer list. Put all the email addresses of your past list together in one spot. Then, take that list of email addresses and email them! Keep in regular contact with them, these are your happy customers. They won’t mind hearing from you if you’re sending them useful information. Send them an email once a week. Let them know about any special sales you’re having on your inventory.

Big secret: send people back to your auctions through your eBay Publisher Network affiliate link. That way, you can get paid when people purchase anything on eBay after clicking through your link.

That’s right, eBay will pay you! But what’s the catch? I haven’t found one yet. Sign up is a breeze, and you can start making affiliate links and commissions really quickly. I’ve earned $757.21 in eBay affiliate commissions by sending out only 8 emails to past customers - and that doesn’t include the repeat sales I made from sending them back to my listings.

All you have to do is get your past customers to click on the affiliate link you put in the email, and then eBay keeps track of their purchases. Anything that they buy on eBay within 7 days of clicking your link, you’ll make money on.
