Once again, Lisa Page has some good advice. I never thought about having 2 or more ebay accounts, but it sure makes sense if you’re selling things that just don’t work well together, like vegan cookbooks and leather coats. LOL I also didn’t know about listing stuff so that the auctions end at peak selling times after work.

Having more than one ebay account is allowed by ebay. There are many advantages to having more than one ebay account. You may want to spread your company around, instead of buying and selling many things with one ebay account.

You could have a separate account just to buy. This is a little secret of powersellers. Maybe you like to buy low and resell high. Now you can buy with your buyer account and resell with your seller account. This way, nobody will know what you paid for the item. Some people just look at your recent feedback, to see if you bought it on ebay. If you keep your buyer account just to buy, they will never know you are buying with one account and reselling it for a higher price on your seller account. If you buy at the off-peak time of day on ebay, you can get some really good deals. When you find great deals, use it to your advantage. Use your seller account, to resell the item at peak times.

Here is a list of ideas on how to start a business using eBay. I like the one about an eBay-drop-off-store. We actually had a guy in Walla Walla, Washington doing that for a living for quite awhile. He advertised in the newspaper and on the cable channels. The local newspaper even did a story on him and how he could help you get rid of all that junk in your garage. So read these ideas and see if maybe it would be better if you actually dropshipped for others instead of having them dropship for you. (Right? Wouldn’t that be reverse dropshipping if you shipped stuff out for some guy who had you sell it on eBay for him? LOL)

eBay has become a great way to sell all kind of merchandise on the web. A person can start out by selling personal items they wish to get rid of and graduate to selling merchandise that they find or contract for. An eBay business can become a full time business and for some be a very profitable enterprise.

eBay has a website that can be found on the Net that describes exactly what a potential seller on eBay needs to do. There are many other sites that offer to help and or teach you how to be successful on eBay. There is obviously no lack of information and websites that are willing to help you get started.

If you are going to become a Powerseller on eBay and make millions dropshipping products, you really need to learn about all of the tools that are available on eBay, and then actually use them. I will try to find more articles that show you how to use eBay for making a living dropshipping products online, so check back often.

An eBay store is a tremendous sales channel for any Internet retailer. The traffic alone makes it more than worth the small price tag. But many eBay sellers dont avail themselves of the impressive line-up of marketing tools eBay supplies, and miss the chance to increase their exposure and improve their sales. States Rebecca Shapiro, co-founder of eBay store consulting service, http://OasisConnect.com, “I see very few sellers tapping into all the resources they have at their disposal. If you choose to use them, eBay gives you all the tools you need to brand, optimize, and market your business.”

Room for Improvement

Even if your eBay business is already doing well, you can affect a big difference in your bottom line with just a few small adjustments:

* Use your eBay store to advance your brand.

A big part of branding is creating a recognizable image; so when you set up your store, you want it to make sure it reflects your off-eBay web site. Besides choosing your colors and adding your logo, you can put in your own HTML code to create a very branded store that effectively identifies your product and your business.
