subject: Why Would You Want To Sell On Ebay? [print this page] Let's say you could have an entire business in a box. What if someone gave you every tool you needed, all the software, the website, the merchant account, and most importantly, millions of customers ready to buy what you sell. Would you be interested? How much would you pay for that "instant" business. Hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars?
The fact is that everything I just said that seem so unrealistic is a reality right now on one website. That website is eBay. eBay is the fastest and easiest way to have a web presence today. You can start making money online before the week is up. You can have a complete business structure and start selling products online in under 30 minutes.
Still not convinced? Let me show you how big eBay really is. In 2008 alone, over $60 billion dollars was sold on eBay. $2000 sells every second. Plus there are over 90 million active members. That's why eBay is called the world's largest marketplace. Do you think that maybe there are some customers that would want what you sell?
The real question is, how can you be a successful seller on eBay? Of the thousands of people that have sold on eBay, only a select few have massive success. While you might hear lots of stories about eBay millionaires, it's a small percentage of those who have tried.
Why? Well it's because that the average person who goes on eBay thinks that eBay will instantly make them a millionaire. Sorry to tell you, but nobody becomes a millionaire overnight. Building a business requires learning certain skills. You need to know how to provide a great product or service for your customer. The sellers who are making it big online are those who are focused on the customer first, not on making a quick buck.
Don't let that discourage you. The people making money on eBay right now started right where you are now. Most aren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Yes, there are things you'll need to learn, but everyone is a beginner once. Nobody is born a world-class athlete.
The best part about eBay is the minimum amount of risk you need to take to get started. Think of all the brick and mortar businesses that spent thousands of dollars in startup capital only to go bankrupt in a few years. You don't need to rent office or warehouse space, and you don't need to start hiring dozens of employees.
All you really need is a computer, an internet connection and a digital camera. Other than that, there isn't much else. Of course you're going to need products to sell, but if you find good products from the very start, you can easily buy inventory and keep the cash moving through your business.
Let's face it, the business models have changed. The new model of business allows you to get started selling online with virtually nothing holding you back. Why wouldn't you want to be your own boss? Thousands of people just like you have already started making money online. Make sure you don't miss out and get left behind.
The fact is, with everything at your fingertips, there's no excuse. Get started today, and don't listen to the skeptics. Start learning from people who are already successful and you can find success too.
