Proven ebay buy/sell strategies

The first step to building a solid eBay business is to get the right product at the right price to make a profit - and this is the point where so many competing eBay seller's guides fail, focussing on how to sell rather than what to sell and how best to locate and buy it. Chris Malta & Lisa Suttora's WHAT TO SELL ON EBAY AND WHERE TO GET IT: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO PRODUCT SOURCING FOR EBAY AND BEYOND tells how to find products and use proven strategies to sell them. Chapters explain how to identify trends and hotspots, develop niche markets and ideas for selling to them, research products to determine resale markups and profits, and more. With chapters emphasizing niche marketing strategies and evaluation procedures, WHAT TO SELL ON EBAY AND WHERE TO GET IT comes packed with flexible plans and ideas. Very highly recommended.

Buy This Book

I loved this book. I found it to be so inspirational. The other ebay books that I have read have seemed like propaganda for ebay powersellers. This book is more like a practical small business startup guide. It really helps you look at things in a way that will allow you to decide what you want your business to be and gives you the tools that you need to achieve your dreams. I am in the process of starting my ebay business and I credit this book for giving me the confidence and tools that I need in order to succeed.

A great crash course in product sourcing --- for new or experienced sellers

The most frequent question from new sellers is, "What do I sell, and where do I find it?" It's obvious that the author is an authoritative source for this information, he's the Product Sourcing Editor for eBay Radio. In this new book, he explains that many new sellers jump in without an understanding of inventory selection and the wholesale buying process. Many of these sellers dump their money into schemes involving middlemen masquerading as wholesalers, drop-shippers who don't really have the advertised product, or for some get-rich-quick book promising a "magic bullet" to making big money selling online. The author also dispels the myth that sellers should sell "what they know" and what they're passionate about. Instead, the author explains that if you really want to build a business, you must find out *what buyers want* and how you can get it for them at the best price. And this book explains exactly how to do it. This book exposes many fraudulent eBay get-rich-quick schemes, concluding: "A real eBay business takes time, commitment to learning, and a good deal of hard work to build." Truer words have never been said, and they apply to entrepreneurship everywhere, not just eBay. So people hoping to crack some secret code and make a ton of cash without hard work will be sorely disappointed with this book (or any other realistic book). This book is intended for online sellers who want to build a business that can be scaled larger over time by selling new merchandise in quantity. It's not intended for those who want to sell only collectibles or one-off used products. The premise is that new, standardized goods obtained in quantity can be sold faster and in higher volume, compared to unique collectibles, where a tremendous amount of effort is expended in finding each item, not to mention the labor involved in listing them for sale, researching and describing each one accurately, taking photos, etc. So while your profit margin may be lower with new merchandise, you can more than make up for it with volume -- if you know what you're doing. This book explains why it's best to focus on selling in a niche and how to discover a niche you can concentrate on. It explains how to find products people want, and how to get them at the lowest price. This book contains numerous tips on finding legitimate wholesaler suppliers, and a comprehensive discussion of how the wholesale industry works and how to build long-term product sourcing relationships. In the chapter about finding wholesalers, the author explains why *real* wholesalers don't advertise in search engines, and why the *fake* wholesalers do. This is must-have information for someone who is looking to expand their business, but doesn't have a thorough background in the wholesaling industry. For eBay sellers in particular, this book warns against three dreaded parasites that consistently rip off new sellers: Product sourcing middlemen, product-sourcing multi-level marketers, and "junk" product s
