Auction Fundamentals Has Arrived!

auction-fundamentalsAfter six months in the works my newest eBay tutorial course is finally ready to launch.This is the second eBay training product I have produced, the first being a DVD course that is now a few years old and in need of an update.

But rather than updating the eBay course I decided to create a whole new course from the ground up. It takes you through the business building process right from opening an eBay and Paypal account all the way through niche selection, product buying, listing, templates and even customer service and keeping your 100% feedback.

So if you are new to eBay or if you have been selling for a while but not managed to get to make it earn as much as you would like this course will help you achieve your goals.
Take a look at the short intro video for more information..

How to Use eBay Templates

eBay listing templates are a good way to display your items in a clear and clean way so the potential buyer can see the information they want and make decision. Some eBay sellers make the mistake of cluttering their listings with cross promotion items and too many graphics which will confuse the eBay search engine and could be detrimental to your search rankings plus it looks really bad too!

Keep your eBay listings simple, easy to read and this will pay off in more sales conversions and a better buying experience for your eBay customers.

In this YouTube video not only will I be showing you step by step how to use eBay templates but i will be giving you my eBay templates for free!

I had my graphic designer put together this pack of templates especially for this series and so you can follow along with this video and build clear and professional looking eBay auctions that will maximize your sales.

You can make the video bigger by clicking on the bottom right of the screen.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Why Aren’t My eBay Items Selling?

Today’s question comes from someone from the Wholesale Help member’s club in a private message. I won’t quote the whole thing, but I’ll give you the gist: “I researched my niche, I found an item, I bought the item, I had some good sales, and now the sales have slackened off. Why are my items not selling?”

There are a few things to cover with this. I’ve narrowed it down to three core selling elements, and it all ties together with a fourth. The three keys are: demand, profit margin, and competition. Your profit margin and lack of competition don’t matter if there is no demand. Your lack of competition and demand are pointless if there’s no profit margin for you to make money off your sales. Your demand and profit margin mean nothing is the competition is too high, because you’ll never be seen among the crowd. These are all good things to research before you by a large number of an item. Of course, if you find yourself having issues with these things, it’s best to lower your price until you sell out of the item, make your money back that you spent on getting said item in the first place, and try again with something new.

Of course, there can be variations to these rules. For example, it’s okay if you have a good profit margin and low competition but the demand is a little lower. When buyers do look for the item, low competition drives them to you and the high profit margin puts money in your pocket. If profit margin is the weak element, but you’re still selling a large number of the product, you can make that work. If you sell fifty items at a £1 profit, you’re still going to make £50. I don’t like to do it that way, but it could work out. Competition is hard when it comes to variations, though. If there’s a high demand, you may still make some money, and it may be worth it if the profit margin is astronomical, but several dozen other people have that same idea.

The final thing that ties all of this together is scale. It would behoove you to stock your eBay store well with complementary items, because some items sell quickly, some don’t, and some fluctuate between highs and lows in regards to demand. Having more items stabilizes your business. If you have one item that you sell five times per month, you’re still doing okay. But, imagine if you had twenty items, all of which sell five times per month. Instead of making five sales per month, you’d be making a hundred. If your profit margin were at, say, £20/item, you’d be making £2000/month. In terms of sales, that’s not bad at all.

While that’s the general overview of the question itself, I’d like to take a moment to thank you guys. By my donating 20% of all the profit from the sale of my eBay tutorial DVD course (which is still available for sale!), we’ve managed to raise over £300 for cancer research, which comes out to over $500 USD. If you haven’t already gotten the DVD, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. The DVD will help you and your business, and your purchase will help fund cancer research.

Step-by-Step Instructional DVD Available Now!

As you guys well know by now, through this channel, I’ve been able to help tons of people set themselves and their businesses up for success through my experience in several different online marketing platforms. You know by now that I’m passionate about helping others to achieve success online because of how liberating it is. Earning a living by selling online cuts you away from the mundane parts of work – the daily commute, the office politics, and so on and so forth. Working for someone else pays you for your time, because you have to be there, but online business is much different. There’s no correlation between how much you work and how much money you make. With your business always working for you, there’s no ceiling to where you can go with an online marketing job. By freeing yourself from your job, you’re free to be the person you want.

I’ve been helping people make money online for several years, but some people are struggling to put all the pieces together. I asked you here at Wholesale Help if it’d help if I created a step-by-step instructional DVD to put all the pieces together for your chronologically through to a fully functional, refined online business, and I received a resounding, “Yes”.

I want to put everyone in the same boat, so I didn’t use an established eBay account to make this DVD. I started with a fresh eBay account, and filmed the steps that I took, the steps anybody can take. By using the right tools in the right way, you can build the same success for yourself that I built in the DVD. Using these tips and tricks helps you to build your business based on fact instead of guesswork, providing you with a more stable foundation as you build ever upward.

No matter how much money you want to make with your online business, my eBay tutorial series can help you achieve it. It’s a compilation of twenty-two videos, totaling over three hours worth of training that I’ve made into a physical DVD for use on anything with a DVD drive.

I called this DVD Instant Profit Auctions simply because my items were selling almost immediately as I was working through setting up this account. I took an empty account and built it into a top-rated seller account in my fastest time ever, and on this DVD, you’ll get to come along through each step of the process so you can see what I did, and then apply it to your own business.

I’ve always been passionate about helping others, so I’ve made the decision to donate 20% of the profits from the sales of Instant Profit Auctions to Cancer Research UK, because I’d like to try to help out with something that devastates so many people every year. I want to help as many people as possible, so by changing your life through your business with the help of this DVD, we’ll both be helping to change someone else’s life as well.

A lot of people have spoken to about the value of this DVD, regarding how much you’ll learn and how much you’ll earn, the price should be in the hundreds. However, I really do want to help as many people as I can, so I’ve priced it low enough that everybody could afford it. The price of this DVD is just £27.95, plus £1.99 for shipping. It’s about $48 in USD, and I’ll ship it to your door. In the UK, that’s the cost of going to the movies for the night with your special someone. Besides, if you follow the steps and advice on this DVD, you’ll make that back in your first few sales.

Check out the introductory video below. In the comments box, I’ve listed the site featuring the official advertising video for the DVD, and I’ll also paste it in here below the YouTube video, so be sure to check it out for all the details about this can’t-miss DVD.

An Easy Way to Edit Photos for Your Listings

I’ve been manipulating some images to put on eBay at the moment, and I thought you might like to have a look at what I’m doing to enhance my listings. The quality of the images you use in your listing is imperative, so it’s good to make sure they look good.

A quick piece of advice from a clothing seller – invest in a mannequin. The one I have cost me no more than $40, including shipping, and it really helps to fill out the clothes I’m selling. Using the mannequin actually lets you envision a body in the article of clothing, and it appears much more professional. It looks much better than the all-too common article of clothing on a hanger on the back of a door.

I’m listing a Fred Perry jumper today. The photo I decided to use, I took while the jumper was on a mannequin, but the photo isn’t exactly straight. To fix this, I use a software from Google called Picasa, which is free to download right from Google.

Picasa is loaded with a number of handy tools that I use regularly to enhance my photos. It features a straightening function, which lays a grid over your photo and allows you to slide the photo left or right so that it’s in line with the grid. This allows you to fix any photos that might have been taken at a slant. Once you’re finished, hit “apply”, and the grid goes away, but your image stays straight.

Also featured in the toolbar, you can crop the photo to center the photo, as well as alter the contrast and color if they’re not quite right. A helpful tool is the “I’m Feeling Lucky” option, which lets the software do the photo what it feels it needs to do in order to enhance it. Once you’re finished, you can resize the photo, as well as add a watermark for your store so the image doesn’t get stolen.

Picasa is free, simple to use software that comes quite in handy when I’m editing photos for my eBay listings. Check out the video below for a more detailed look at the program!
