You Can Still Make Good Money On eBay

Since eBay banned the sale of digital products in their auctions, many marketers have abandoned eBay as a source of income. Other factors to this abandoning of eBay include some policy and fee changes which were heavily opposed. Still, flexible marketers are finding that, by adapting their approach, eBay still represents opportunities for making money online.

For instance, while it is no longer allowed to sell digital products on eBay, smart sellers found a way around it. What they did was to put one or more digital products on a CD or DVD and physically ship it out 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.

To save time from having to package, label, and ship every CD or DVD you sell, the best thing to do is to use a fulfillment company. 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. The extra cost that using a fulfillment company costs can be covered by selling each product for an extra few dollars.

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. It works like affiliate marketing in that rather than selling products that you physically stock, you instead sell products that belong to someone else. Having decided upon which of the many dropshipping companies to use, the rest of the process is easy to follow through. 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. Since you are paid a cut of each sale, selling larger items would give you a larger profit margin. However, smaller items are more in demand, so you will probably sell more of them. No matter what you choose to sell, make sure you do the necessary research in order to find a reliable company to work with.
