Thousands of
people make a living buying and selling on eBay. Currently ranked as the 37th
largest site on the internet (according to Alexa figures) eBay doesn't show
signs of slowing down, even 500 fortune companies open eBay stores to sell
excess & unwanted stock. The following are five sources that I personally
use & encourage you to use them to increase your eBay profits easily.
Reports show
that more than 90% of searches on eBay are made using search facilities. What
users do not know about the eBay’s search factor is that by default it only
searches for item titles - not item descriptions. Remember this fact because it
will show the importance of some of the resources listed below.
1) Fat Fingers
How professional
are your salespeople? Did you check your list before sending it or even the
evidence of someone else reading it for you? With millions of listings on the
network of eBay’s sites at once, a small portion of these listings contain
errors - & misspelled words are the biggest mistakes you can make.
Imagine you sell
Sony Television for example. What if you misspelled the item as Sony Television.
Anyone looking for the term "Sony Television" will not be presented
with your item. Only buyers search manually through categories that will find
your item. It is understood that if people cannot find your item, they cannot
bid them.
Fat Fingers is a
service that you can use to find all variations of misspelled terms. Why do you
need services like that?
Well it's clear
if an item has low visibility on eBay it also likely has zero or several offers
that allow you to take an offer. I know people use this service to live full
time, purely buy things at cheap prices, and mark them again without error.

2) EBay Credit
Back to the
search facility, eBay Credit shows the top 10 search keywords in each category.
This is a real gem of a service; of course, by looking at the most used search
terms, you can see what buyer is looking for. In addition, if you sell in this
category, by more users will see entering some of these keywords into your
title your item.
The only thing
that must be considered with this service is making sure the keywords are
relevant to your item, IF NOT USING THEM. How many times have you seen a list
like "SONY PANASONIC LG WIDESCREEN DIGITAL TELEVISION GUIDE", - a
list like this is well thought out to get high visibility from the way users
search. Anyone who searches for an item with one of the keywords will reveal
your listing.
Although it can
cause a high number of impressions, first fellow users will feel annoyed if
they find your item completely unfold to what they are looking for, both spam
keywords as they are known, conflict with eBay policies and will cause your
item to be withdrawn. . I use credit every day with all my lists, but make sure
it is relevant to your item first.

3) Pro-Keywords
Keyword-Pro is a
commercial subscription service similar to eBay pulses. However, the main
difference is that Keyword-Pro offers a list of relevant keywords far more
in-depth. It lists the top 50 keywords for each category for eBay.co.uk &
eBay.com. This is a great addition, especially if one of the terms found on
eBay pulses is not relevant to your item.
Keyword-Pro is
available as a web service or as a small program that downloads lists to P.C.
This data is updated every week to give you information about the latest search
terms.

When you first
open a sales account on eBay, the options listed under the selling tab on eBay
are enough to help you. However, you can increase to more in-depth services
known as Sales Managers. As eBay describes services, "eBay Selling Manager
is our online sales management tool for medium to high volume sellers".
This allows you to track every eBay sale, adjust your feedback comments, and
print shipping labels & more. Save about four hours a week tracking orders
and overseeing my sales.
FREE Sales
Managers on eBay.co.uk & have a small monthly fee on eBay.com (after one
month of free trial). After I moved to the Sales Manager, it was impossible for
me to return.

Here you can
see, directly from eBay, what products are the most popular in several
categories. Very valuable tool for eBay sellers.

I hope you find
this service useful & save time on your goals for a successful home
business on eBay. Remember, your most important resource is your time when
starting or building an online business & if you find any site, person, or
opportunity that can save you time, give serious attention & consideration.
Every leading Internet marketer continues to educate themselves by buying &
reviewing almost every new product released. The way I see it, if an eBook is
worth $ 197 and the information in the eBook saves me or allows me to make an
additional $ 197, it's worth doing - once you can do it once you will be able
to repeat this exercise more and more profit over and over. If you find a
valuable eBay-related source, let me know & I will consider revising this
list for future editions.
Good luck with
your eBay sales.
