      How to Make Money on eBay - International Sales - Jill b.

      About This Book

      This book is a supplemental guide to my first book: How to Sell on eBay: Selling on eBay for Maximum Profits. Sources, Tips and Secrets from a 16-year Veteran Powerseller. In this book, I will discuss how you can maximize profits by taking it a step further - selling internationally. This book is written such that it can be read as a standalone book. Some ideas in this book will apply to any seller, regardless of where they are located. However, the details of this book is specific to the US-based seller.

      Introduction

      Unfortunately, many US-based sellers are afraid of selling abroad. If you want to expand and sell more, you will need to look to further horizons for more arbitrage opportunities. By shipping internationally you will open up and increase your customer base tremendously. Something that is common where you live might be rare, valuable or difficult to get in another country.

      Take video game or movie memorabilia for example. When a popular movie is put on store shelves or when a game with a cult following is released, manufacturers often release exclusive memorabilia with the movie or game. Memorabilia can range from figures to books to trading cards and everything in between. Sometimes, these collectibles are country-exclusive. They become even more rare if they are retailer exclusive. If it is something cool in very limited supply with a big cult following, you might have an international or even a domestic market (if it is popular and rare) for your item. 

      In my first eBay book, I discussed that arbitrage, as defined on Wikipedia, is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. Simply put: buy low, sell high. When you sell internationally, you can sell higher.

      Who I Am

      In 1998, I was a foreign student at Cornell looking for ways to make some extra money. In my home country, Singapore, the economy was still reeling from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. The 1998 US economy however, was booming. Americans were flushed with cash and were ready to spend freely. I found eBay. By 1998, eBay had already grown considerably. There was a large ready market in the US looking to buy unusual items online.

      After some research (by checking eBay’s Completed Listings), I found a small niche market in magazines featuring Asian actresses. I capitalized on my situation and made a small, quick profit from that niche. From this niche, I discovered another growing and much bigger niche - Japanese Anime.Japanese Anime was the hot, cool new thing in the US. Anime however, had already been present in Singapore for almost two decades. Stores were clearing Anime toys out. By leveraging international arbitrage, and with my mother’s help, I was able to make enough money in two years to cover tuition and all other expenses of my final two years at Cornell.

      In the middle of my eBay selling career, I traveled around the world and found many items to sell on eBay. These sales either partially or fully subsidized my trips. Here is why I am in a unique position to write this book and why you should not fear shipping internationally. Here is a sample of my international selling expertise -
