    About this ebook

    Selling on eBay seems simple enough

    You post a few items for sale, wait for the bids to start rolling in, collect the cash, and mail out the items you sold.

    Rinse, and repeat.

    Sounds easy enough, doesn't it?

    Unfortunately, things get a bit more complicated when you start eBaying in real life.

    Writing good listings that make buyers want to pull the trigger on your items isn't easy

    Taking good pictures that show your items in the best light can be harder than you think

    Pricing your items right can seem like rolling the dice...

    . And then there's the waiting.

    . Waiting for bidders to come along.

    . Sometimes they never materialize.

    . Sometimes a lot of people look at what you're selling, but they don't buy.

    Selling on eBay can be frustrating

    A lot of times you find you're second guessing yourself.

    You think, should I have said this.

    Or, should I have used a different starting price.

    Or…

    You get the idea.

    Selling on eBay is serious business

    If you want to be successful, you need a plan going into each and every listing.

    You need to research every item before you list it for sale

    You need to know what it costs to sell each item, and how you're going to ship it

    And finally, you need to understand which listing format is right for each item you list

    That's what eBay Selling Made Easy is all about.

    It puts the easy back into eBay by giving you the help and advice you need to get over the speed bumps that can block your road to success.

      eBay Selling Made Easy - Braun Schweiger

      Introduction

      This book offers a straightforward no BS approach to selling on eBay.

      What this book isn’t.

      This book isn’t going to tell you how to become an eBay millionaire overnight, or promise you that you can become a top-rated eBay seller in ninety days. If that’s what you’re looking for, you can stop reading right now and request a refund from Amazon.

      What this book is.

      If on the other hand, you are willing to put in the time and effort necessary to build a business that will give you the extra money you need to go on a vacation every year, or drive a shiny new car every other year, this book can help you to reach these goals.

      Making a side income of a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a month is entirely doable. There are tens of thousands of people that do it every day, and you can too.

      My goal in this book is to help you over some of the speed bumps that have stumped other sellers as they got started selling on eBay.

      Who am I, and why should you listen to me

      Hey there, Braun Schweiger here.

      I’ve been selling on eBay for about seven years now. I’m a top rated eBay seller, and have completed nearly ten thousand transactions on eBay in that time.

      As you can guess, I’ve had my share of ups and downs, had my butt kicked more than once, but I never let any of that stop me. I’ve sold movies, books, and clothes.

      You name it – I’ve given it a whirl on eBay.

      I truly believe you can sell anything on eBay if you market it right. That means writing a great description that makes people drool and demand to know more about what you’re selling. It means taking first rate photos that show your product from every angle; and finally, it means pricing your items to sell.

      It sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it?

      Unfortunately, saying and doing, are two entirely different things. Most times you know exactly what you want to say, and the type of pictures you should use, they just get all scrambled up when you go to post them.

      So in a way, what I’m going to teach you is something you already know.

      Selling on eBay really is all about using good old common sense. You need to tell people what they want to know about the items you’re selling, but you need to serve it up to them in a way that makes the whole package appear more attractive.

      Think about when you shop at Walmart around Super Sunday, or major holidays. Pop, beer, and chips are all great sellers, but to really move them they need to add a little oomph. That’s why the pop and beer displays are stacked to the ceiling, in the shapes of a football player, or the packaging is made to spell out the team name or city. That extra touch catches your eye, and makes you toss an extra case or two in your cart. And, oh yeah, better grab some of those chips they’ve got right next to it. That’s the way you need to work eBay.

      Your pictures and words are the building blocks for your display. The more professional your listings look and sound; the better the chance you will have to sell your item at a premium price.

      Why eBay?
