    Who needs the frustration, right? 

    That's what this book is all about. 

    It's a short, easy to understand guide that will help get you over your phobias about international selling, so you can concentrate on the most important thing – increasing your sales, and growing your business.

      Getting Started

      ––––––––

      Here’s a secret many online sellers don’t know. The fastest growing sellers on eBay are powering their growth with international sales. According to a recent article on Linnworks, 76% of [the] fastest growers are primarily trading across borders.

      The beauty of selling internationally is when the domestic economy slows down and sales in your home country become sluggish, there are still pockets of growth and increasing demand in foreign economies. The key to tapping into these growth pockets is to make your items available to sellers in those countries.

      I started listing items internationally in 2001. Within a year thirty to thirty-five percent of my sales came from international buyers. Over the last fourteen years I have completed nearly 5,000 international transactions.

      If you’re on the line about getting started with international selling—consider baby-stepping it. Start with proven foreign trade partners like Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. There are few language barriers dealing with these countries. You should also consider selling to Germany. According to a recent article in Forbes Magazine, Germany and the United Kingdom account for 48 percent of all international sales made on eBay.

      Let’s talk about that for a moment.

      International sales are the fastest growing market segment on eBay and Amazon?

      According to Google the population of the world is just over seven billion people. Roughly three hundred million of them live in the United States. That’s slightly less than four percent of the world’s population. Or, put another way—that means more than ninety-six percent of the world’s population lives outside of the United States. And, they’re all waiting to buy that exciting new widget you’re getting ready to list.

      I don’t know about you, but that gets me excited! It makes me want to discover more
