20 Questions to Ask Before Selling on eBay
While some people know they want to set up an eBay business, others are not so sure, or may only have a few items to sell. Even if you are setting up a business, you should always test the water before jumping in.
Whether you are a stay-home parent, a college student, a retiree, or you have a full-time job as well, eBay is a great way to get more money out of your unwanted items. I'll show you how to sell profitably without spending money on fancy equipment or subscription services. I recommend those options once your business is showing a profit, but as a start up (or if you are only selling a few items) your bottom line is much more important.
We cover every step of selling from research, pricing, photography (with a basic camera), writing the title and listing, to communicating with the buyer, shipping and feedback. We also cover what to do if your item doesn't sell.
You've been thinking about selling on eBay for a while. Now is the time to bite the bullet and see just how easy it can be when you have an expert on your side. Click here to read a sample chapter from 20 Questions To Ask Before Selling On eBay.
Magazine Editors & Publishers
I am a freelance writer of magazine articles and non-fiction books and copy editor of both. I am a regular writer for AuctionBytes. Please view my clips to see examples of my published work, and my blog for samples of my slightly satirical commentary of daily life. I am a quick study of any subject, with any audience in mind, and assimilate to individual house styles very quickly.
I am currently working on my second book (to be published in late 2006) and am continuing to develop my portfolio of articles.
Business
I offer business writing and editing services to include website text, brochures and other promotional material, as well as instructional and training manuals. Please contact me for references and samples.
Interview Schedule
Over the next few weeks I will be on a nationwide radio tour talking about the various aspects of buying and selling on eBay and how it can work for you. I have over 30 interviews scheduled, so tune in when I am in your area. I am still scheduling interviews, so this list will update (hence it being an excel spreadsheet). For more information, or if you would like me to be a guest on your radio station, please contact my PR company, Newman Communications
