And let’s not forget the biggest advantage over selling on eBay. The majority of users have money in their hand just waiting to find the right item.

So if eBay’s so great why would you want to drive traffic AWAY from your auctions?

Well there are a few reasons why you’d be better off selling from your own website, rather than though eBay. Firstly & most importantly, think of all the listing fees & final value fees you could save if everything you sold on eBay you could sell on your own website. Personally it would save me thousands of dollars per year alone in listing fees .For more details visit to www.auction-entrepreneur-kit.com. Secondly, you’ll be protecting yourself from eBay policy change. Imagine you were selling thousands of e-books weekly and then suddenly eBay policy changed to prevent any e-book listings.

Overnight your business would simply disappear & your income would vanish. It’s the same with listing fees – A sudden hike in fees could wipe out your business & profit overnight.

With any business, especially an online one you need to safeguard yourself against measures that are out of your control. So by driving traffic away from your auctions to your own website you’ll slowly start building up an alternative source of revenue. The following methods can be used on eBay. Some are on the borderline of eBay policy & you should check out any policy violation before using them. Saying that, a huge proportion of sellers use these on a daily basis.

1) Image Hosting

All the best sellers have auction templates developed to maintain a professional listing. And of course those sellers ALWAYS use images or graphics to accurately show the condition of the items their offering.

eBay itself allows you to upload the images to their servers; other commercial & free services are available. However really you want to store any images on your own server. Not only will search engine robots follow the links from your listings to your site (helping in improved visibility in any search engines), but many browsers will show the address of where the images are loading from in the status bar.

2) Feedback

Many sellers include their own website in the feedback comments they use. Strictly it is against eBay policy but many Power sellers use comments like “Thanks for your custom from http://www…..com. This is perhaps one of the widely violated policies on eBay. I’ve never known of anyone receive a warning for this policy, but use it with caution as you could be the first.

3) Email Address.

eBay allows your listings to contain one email link address, in addition to the “Ask The Seller A Question Link” they already provide. The only condition about showing your email address is the one shown must also be your registered email account with eBay. Before you list it, make sure they match up.

4) About Me Page

eBay actually allows you to link to your own website from your About Me page, as long as the actual page does not directly offer to sell items. Therefore make it an information or about us page that you link to, BUT one where visitors can easily navigate to your catalog of items for sale. Additionally drive traffic to your About Me Page by including a link on every listings, for more information logon to www.mining-auction-gold.com.
for example “Click here to learn about me”. An average basic shop on eBay will get over 1500 item views within a month. If you can drive just a small proportion of these to you’re about me page & then to your site you’ll certainly see a difference in your non-eBay sales.

5) User Id

While eBay does not allow your user id to be that of an website, you should have it as closely to resembling your site name as possible. You CAN NOT attach .com, -com or *com to the end of your user id – this is strictly against eBay policy. However nothing would stop your id being VisitMyShop. The idea is to get your eBay visitors comfortable with dealing with you away from eBay.

I hope these tips help you drive traffic away from your auctions towards your site & lessens eBay’s grip on your business. Remember, Ignorance is not an excuse eBay accept if you do violate their policy. While you initially get a warning for policy violation continuous offences may result in your account being suspended. Having said that, eBay mostly rely on policing from other users to enforce their policy so as long as no reports you should be in the clear.

Serial Number Following the eBay auction is the serial number of the watch if applicable and or available. Make sure the amount you are asking for in your eBay auction is reasonable. Hot concerning thumbnails on a message board, personal webpage, or eBay auction is allowed, but direct linking large images is only allowed for paid premium members. The idea of an eBay auction is to allow the bidders to set the final price. Using a flat rate shipping charge for your eBay auction is a great idea. Purchasing property or a home through an eBay auction is a rasping idea to some.

After you eBay auction is successfully listed you are done at eBay. If the only image that you are using for your eBay auction is the one in the pattern then be sure and check mark. I favor Pay Pal because I can offer more payment options, on top of that, the entire payment process for your eBay auction is completely computerized if you use Pay Pal. High quality photos and a professional looking eBay auction is an important step for an eBay power seller.

When an eBay auction is completed, the goods shipped and payment made, you and your buyer can comment on each other in eBay feedback forum. Although the highest bid at any one time on an eBay auction is only one addition higher than the second highest bid, it is possible for the price to go up much faster than that if two people are prepared to pay enough. Shipping and handling fee provided by me at the eBay auction is only an Estimate of the Shipping cost for most of the time it will cover the US 48 stats. The greater part of the bidding on an eBay auction is in the last few minutes, seconds. How To Place a Bid Bidding on an eBay auction is very simple, provided you are logged into your eBay account.

eBay the World Online Marketplace is the place to go when you want to buy or sell anything on the Internet. eBay lets its members sell items on the Internet via Auctions, which include bidding, and through the Fixed Price plan, which means that there is a set price for items on sale. eBay Auction is the more popular selling method between the two. eBay Auction will automatically compare your bid with others and does not bid the highest amount you entered.

The internet comes galloping to the rescue! Today there are many, many ways to become financially secure by working through the internet, just as there are as many ways to make an extra income. Instead of having yard sales on Saturday, either baking in the sun or freezing parts of your anatomy as the weather gets colder; you can sit at your computer and reach millions through an auction. Because of the number of people now shopping the internet, the chances are good that someone would want to buy an old treasure you had in the attic.

To me the starting place for a novice, who knows little about the internet, is to join Ebay. When you do you have taken your first baby step on the way to global success! When you post your first item, you will have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment! You have entered that scary and fearsome place called the World Wide Web! You’re an international merchant with the whole wide world waiting for you! It’s an awesome experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.

Don’t think you have to have a website and the knowledge to operate it before you tackle Ebay. You don’t need one to make money with through them. Many folks before you began without one; and some of the power sellers on eBay still do not use a web site for their business. Lack of a web site is an excuse to procrastinate.
All you have to do to join is register with eBay and submit a listing of something you want to sell. It’s really quite simple; even I was able to do it the first time! Ebay has written instructions on every aspect of their on line auction and market place. It’s almost idiot proof! I say almost, because there are exceptions to every rule.

Of course there is other on line auction houses on the internet for you to use. There’s Yahoo Auctions, ubid, auctionweiser and bids; just to name a few. Some specialize in specific items like jewelry, automobiles and just about anything you can dream up! Any of these can help you get your internet business off the ground. Enter a few of these auctions to get your feet wet.

With eBay, if your item doesn’t sell the first time, you are not charged anything for the listing. If you reenter that item, you are then charged a small fee. Some of the other auctions charge nothing. All in all auctions are a good place to start your internet business. After you have entered a few of these auctions you will have become an expert in your own house.

There is always the chance that when you sell your first item you will become addicted to selling at auction on the internet. That addiction is a good thing because it will propel you to internet success. Everyone one is not susceptible to that addiction however, and it is harder for them to build their businesses. They just have to work a little harder at it. Treat the auctions like a business and you will succeed. Have fun with it! That is truly what will make you a success!
