Last year it was estimated that over $62 billion dollars in merchandise was sold over eBay. This is a staggering amount of sales for any company to boast and it is a fact that many people have become millionaires by utilizing eBay as their means of selling products. You need to determine what you want to sell and exactly how you want to sell your products before you setup your eBay Store.
In some cases, you can be a wholesale representative putting your store on eBay when customers place their orders you are paid a certain percentage from the company you are representing. The company does all the mailing of the product and takes care of any returns. You keep track of the customers and their orders. You should answer any emails received immediately from your prospective customers. You might like to sell designer handbags and have a contract with a manufacturer that will provide you with the up-to-date stock. You would need to set up your store on eBay making sure that the manufacturer who you are representing fills all customer orders.
When you have a product that you have made yourself you can set up shop on eBay and present your product to the customers. When the customer places an order then it is your responsibility to make sure that all orders are filled and shipped to the customers. It is very important that you do not forget any customers and take care of all orders sent to customers in a timely manner. One example might be if you make candles in a certain design that is unique to only you. Then the customer might want to buy the candles that you make so you would need to charge enough to cover the cost of shipping and other expenses incurred with the product.
One of the best ways to be successful online is by using eBay for your online store. You need to research and find out which type stores are the most successful before you determine what you want to sell and set up your eBay Shop.
