Making Money On eBay – Don’t Give Up!
The banning of the sale of digital products on eBay has led to many online marketers abandoning the use of eBay as one of their revenue streams. Other factors to this abandoning of eBay include some policy and fee changes which were heavily opposed. However, those willing to stick with eBay are finding that it is still quite possible to make money on eBay.
For instance, while it is no longer allowed to sell digital products on eBay, smart sellers found a way around it. To get around this problem, they simply transfer one or more digital products on to a CD and DVD and mail it to customers. In addition to having gotten around the ban on digital products, sellers were able to capitalize on the fact that physical products have a greater perceived value than digital products.
Taking this approach need not be a lot of hassle either, as you can use a fulfillment company to package, label and ship every CD and DVD that you sell. Basically, you provide them with a stock of raw materials and the customers details, as they come in at a later date, and they take care of the rest for a flat fee. For each disc that you sell, you could easily make a few dollars in profit.
Turning digital products into physical ones also allows you to include various bonuses and upsells on the discs that you ship out. Adding unannounced bonuses will create value and make your customer happy. You could try sending them to a website where they could buy additional products from you. Better yet, you could send them to a squeeze page where, upon completing an opt-in form, they would enter your email list.
An alternative approach to making money on eBay is through dropshipping. Instead of keeping stock or selling something that you own, doing dropshipping will allow you to sell products which belong to someone else, kind of like affiliate marketing. It can be tricky to find a reliable dropshipping company, but once you do, the selling process is easy. All you need to do is create a listing on eBay for one of the dropshipper’s products and wait for it to sell. Once it does, you’ll need to submit the order to the dropshipper.
You can virtually sell anything through a dropshipping company on eBay. You’ll find companies that sell small items like cell phone accessories, all the way up to large items such as pool tables. Conduct a little research before you choose your products to sell though, and try to find ones that offer both good profit margins and low competition (i.e. with not many competing eBay sellers).
