How To Make Sure You Earn Money With eBay, For A Profitable Home Based Business
Do you want to start your own profitable home based business with eBay? If so you will discover the best ways to do it in this article. It doesnt matter what product you intend to sell whether it be DVDs, CDs, books or in fact any physical product, you will need to find a way to get it to your customer. So you need to take the cost of this, including your time, into account when you work out your selling price. Whilst you need to take the shipping costs into account, you have to be careful not to overdo it. This is where many people make their biggest mistake. Nothing gets a customer's back up more than over inflated shipping costs and you will end up getting bad feedback, which you cannot afford. You will however have to take into account that your products have to be properly packaged to avoid costly breakages. Use bubble wrap and good packaging even though it costs money. Not packing your products well will cost even more. It is a good idea to find out what the actual weight of your product is fully packed so you can get a proper postage cost. Also find out what the cost would be to send to other countries, this could be the difference between you having a profitable home based business or not. It might even be worth buying a good set of scales to make sure that you're getting this right, and keep in mind the size and dimensions of the packages as this can also make a big difference in the cost of shipping, its easy to lose money not getting this right, so spend time on it. Money can be saved by recycling old boxes. Most shops and stores are usually more than happy for you to take them, but be sure that they are in a good enough condition, remember that boxes get thrown around in transport, so make sure you use as much bubble wrap as is needed to avoid breakages. Give people an idea of how long they can expect to wait before they receive their item, and also give them a choice as to how they want it sent. Do they want it sent by normal post which may take a few days for them to receive it locally, or it could take a considerably longer time for international customers. Or do they want it sent express post? Give them the price for both, let them decide, they may be prepared to pay more to get it quicker. To play safe, it is worth adding $1-$2 as your handling fee. That should be enough to cover your expenses going back and forth to the post office and it will also cover any unforeseen costs involved and help to make sure that you make a profit. You have to be fair with your customer, but also you have to be fair to yourself. If you are totally up front with your customer they will appreciate your honesty and you should receive in return some good feedback from them. Many of the points covered in this article, really are just common sense, but you would be surprised by the number of people that get one or more of these points wrong, and they end up losing money, which I do not want you to do. Make sure that you get these simple things right, and you will earn money with eBay, and have a good profitable home based business. Heres to your success.
