New eBay Secret Strategy Revealed

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:11:00 +0000

JV Auction Profits, the low down!

Everyone knows that John Thornhill is an eBay expert. Some may even call him to his much denial a GURU. The truth of the matter is, he is no matter which way you look at it one of the guys to watch and learn from when it comes to ‘making moves’ on eBay. When John has an idea and it goes public you can definitely expect guys to follow. When the digital delivery ban came into effect all eyes were on John for his next move. For the guys who know him and follow his techniques, we all know his advice and tips and second to none and are truly
invaluable.

JV Auction Profits

Which leads me to his next product, one which I found surprising to say the least? Not in a bad way, but in a way which made me think to myself and wonder why he would let such a secret out of the bag and share with others. Call me selfish but it’s true! There are times when silence is golden so to speak and keeping things a secret to make money. However this is John Thornhill we are talking about and to this day still he lives with the same rule of share all your info with all your supporters and everyone wins, and to this day John is making more money than ever. Just to give you a little insight into how much John earned last year from this technique alone was over $35,000. Yep a small amount of work per week generated this for him.

So what is JV Auction Profits all about? Well without giving too much away this is certainly going to be the best $10 you have spent this year. It has the potential to make you thousands of dollars if you fit the criteria which is outlined below

To qualify for the info you need:

1, An eBay account or the ability to open one.

2. A little drive to put some work in (nothing falls on your lap for free)

3. You may have to admit that you’ve wasted a lot of your life working for the wrong
person. Now it’s time to start working for the right person – YOU.

Now for this to work:

You DON’T need a product.

You DON’T have to have experience with Johns system

You DON’T need any money to set this up

John will show you how he does it using real life examples

You don’t have to write an eBook. This is NOT about writing eBooks!

John will explain fully how you can do the same as he does and take more cash to the bank.

Now this is not about selling it is about watching and without giving to much away all you need to do find guys with the business interests as you to make this work. This is why it works for you, me and every other eBay seller on the planet and that’s a lot of guys to JV with.

If you are a seller, I would definitely say you have a leg up on the rest but what John teaches is so versatile we can all use it.

I am limited to what I can disclose as the info is so informative, that is why John has given everyone the opportunity to refund in full if you are not satisfied with the outcome. The returns on your investment will clearly blow the $10 spent away this I know for a fact, so invest today and put this invaluable info into action.

Free eBay Marketing Course

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 08:16:00 +0000

This is not your typical eBay/internet marketing course.

It is literally a map that provides you with videos, reports, and audio books for each step on this map.

Created by Francis Ochoco, recipient of the world's first eBay Entrepreneur Of The Year award, this all-in-one eBay and internet marketing course teaches you how to sell all types of products on eBay, from info products to wholesale products.

It also teaches you how to combine internet marketing with eBay marketing to maximize traffic to your business.

Even if you weren't interested in eBay, the internet marketing strategies covered in this program would still make this program worth your time and money.

Francis updates this course almost every month, thus making it one of the most up-to-date eBay courses in the market (this is important considering eBay frequently changes its rules).

WHO THIS PRODUCT IS FOR:

-Internet marketers

-New and experienced eBay sellers

-Anybody looking to make money online in general

MY PERSONAL OPINION:

The Map is THE product that I've been looking for ever since I started my own home-based business a few years ago.

From the beginning, this system takes you through and shows you through words & videos the "hows" of setting up a successful online business.

I also like how "step-by-step" this program is.

The plans are laid out in a specific order for you to complete. There really is no way to mess up. I love the fact that it doesn't just tell me why I should do something but how I could do it. That alone makes it much easier for me. I don't have to figure anything out by myself or spend countless hours trying to figure out what I should be doing.

If you've tried learning eBay or internet marketing through other programs, eBooks, etc. and haven’t had success then it’s definitely worth it. Take the trial period to see how this program may be different from others.

While it is great for a beginner who doesn't have a product yet, it also contains plenty of advanced ideas and strategies that helped improve my online business.

After going through the videos and reports, I came up with 2 pages of ideas and changes that I am currently working on implementing.

Sir Cliff Richard Signed Autographed Memorabilia Alert!

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:38:00 +0000

You have the opportunity to own a one of a kind* signed 40 years of hits promo digipack from the Peter Pan of Pop himself Sir Cliff Richard.

This is currently being auctioned on Ebay UK and the bidding is starting at a ridiculous £0.99! A quick search on the internet shows that this could be worth over £100, so this could be a profitable purchase if you get it at a low enough price.

CLIFF RICHARD Signed 40 Years Of Hits Promo CD Booklet

The CD Booklet was signed by Sir Cliff in HMV London on 9th May 2005 at the What Car Single Signing

This rare CD booklet is hard enough to find anyway - a signed copy of an already rare item! Included in the auction is the official wrist band from the event

The CD booklet itself is finished in a gold embossed hardback digipak with chart information for each release and is immaculate

The CD features excerpts from each of Cliff's 124 singles releases that mix into each other, which has never been seen before on Cliff releases

I can't say enough about how nice this item is and how rare an item it is

SIR CLIFF RICHARD items and memorabilia for sale on Ebay now!

Good luck in your bidding!

*This is an extremely rare Promo Album that is very difficult to get hold of, and I believe that it would be very unlikely that another signed autographed copy of this item would exist.

As an example of the scamming link mentioned in the previous post, here is an auction seller who is doing exactly that. His last sentence in his description is...

"... And I accept only PAYPAL to keep the scammers away!"

Obviously someone who has been scammed or ripped off before.

Not sure he's much of a football (soccer) fan, though, as his description says this shirt is the No 7 of David BACKHAM !! Never mind.

How To Avoid eBay Scams And Fraud

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:27:00 +0000

Countless people have been scammed and defrauded on eBay. eBay is a fun place to bid on items and to sell items – but you must know how to recognize scams, and how to avoid them, or you quickly join the ranks of those who have lost their money to eBay scams. Of course, if you are scammed, there are some actions you can take the correct the situation – but in many cases, the scammer does indeed get away with it! The best option is to avoid being scammed in the first place (easier said than done, I know).

You can easily avoid many scams with the payment method that you use – whether you are a buyer or a seller. eBay owns Paypal, and in most cases, Paypal is the payment method you should use. First, as a buyer, if you are scammed or less than satisfied with the item when it arrives, you can dispute the charge easily, and demand a refund. The seller must reply and show proof that the item was shipped, and that it arrived in the condition that you expected, or Paypal will return your funds to your account.

As a seller, you can protect yourself by only accepting Paypal. This will eliminate the chances of receiving a bad check or having the buyer dispute a credit card charge. Instead, they must dispute the charge through paypal, and you of course will be able to prove that you shipped the product. You cannot, however, prove that the product arrived in the condition that was expected. In this case, you should demand that the product be returned to you before the refund is issued.

Another common scam that buyers use is the bidding scam. This type of scam is run either with two separate eBay accounts – with one person in control of both of them, or with two friends with separate eBay accounts. A very small bid is placed on your item, using one account. This is followed by a very high bid, from the other eBay account. Right before the bidding ends, the high bid is cancelled or withdrawn, leaving the low bid as the winning bid.This bid can only be avoided by setting a reserve price – the lowest bid that can be placed is the same as the reserve price that you set, so you can determine what the lowest amount you will accept is. Trouble is, having a reserve price can deter other eBay users from placing a bid at all.

If you are an eBay seller, you can further protect your auctions by placing a notice on your auctions page, declaring that you have the right to back out of the sale if you suspect potential fraud. As both a buyer and a seller, also beware of spoofed emails. These emails appear to be from eBay. The email may claim that you need to verify your information, and ask you to login to your eBay account, using the link provided. If you follow that link, the site looks exactly like eBay, but it is actually a scam to get your eBay login details, as well as your credit card details!

eBay will never ask you to do this. If you suspect a spoofed email, report it to eBay immediately!
Don’t let scammers ruin your eBay fun! Just use good common sense, and a reasonable amount of caution, and everything should run smoothly. Report suspicious activity to eBay, and if a deal doesn’t feel right, simply back away from it and move on to the next auction.

Should PayPal Be Your Only eBay Payment Option?

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Wed, 03 May 2006 09:24:00 +0000

Should PayPal Be Your Only eBay Payment Option?
© by Dave Lovelace
www.auctionplatinum.com

If you're selling on eBay, most likely you're currently using the services of PayPal (or have used them in the past) to process your transactions for you.

Afterall, eBay owns PayPal, so its' services are custom tailored to make doing business on the world's largest auction site a breeze, right?

Maybe. It just depends on who you ask.

I recently received a question from a subscriber who couldn't use PayPal (because of where she lived) and wondered if there were alternatives.

Based on alot of feedback regarding PayPal in eBay's forum, it's plain to see that alot of sellers are searching for other solutions, but for different reasons.

Today's tip will attempt to provide a couple of options.

PayPal has its Advantages and Disadvantages. Let’s take a look at what PayPal can do for you, and what it can’t.

The Disadvantages.

PayPal is very vulnerable to fraud, and it’s you as the seller who’ll be paying the price when it happens. What’s more, they do take a percentage from every transaction that you could be keeping if your buyers were paying by check.

You might also have noticed that PayPal comes from the eBay school of customer service, enjoying such pastimes as hiding their phone number and only ever sending out automated responses to emailed queries.

PayPal has an unusual number of campaigners against it, most of them people who’ve had their accounts frozen and had to chase PayPal for months for thousands of dollars. Some of these people recently filed a class action lawsuit against PayPal, claiming damages for lost business and they won. This alone should make you cautious about using PayPal.

The Advantages.

PayPal is quick and easy for buyers to use, and is certainly a more secure and reassuring way to accept credit cards than signing up for your own merchant account. You’ll probably also find that it’s cheaper for you.

That’s before you even consider that eBay buyers are more eager to buy from someone who accepts PayPal, as it saves them all sorts of hassle with posting payment and then waiting around. PayPal lets you give speedier customer service.

But Should You Use It Exclusively?

It's really a matter of customer service. Some of your potential customers might not have or want a PayPal account. Not everyone loves electronic payments. Some fear them. So a good rule of "options" is a smart one. The more options a customer has available to them to pay for their item, the better the chance of meeting the demand and therefore increasing sales.

Keep in mind that some buyers come to eBay because it is one of the few places on the Internet where many sellers will accept payment by more traditional methods.

Question is... do you want these people as customers?

You might notice that some people are aware of the issues of PayPal and refuse to use it, but still want to pay electronically.

For these rare cases, it’s worth opening an account at a well known PayPal rival that has a better reputation. A favorite seems to be NoChex (www.nochex.com), a U.K. based company, which offers free chargeback protection.

NoChex is quite a lot better than PayPal by most standards, but just doesn’t have the same market penetration or convenience of use on eBay. Still, there’s nothing stopping you from accepting both, just as long as you make it clear that you do on your auctions.

Tip: if you find that you really prefer NoChex to PayPal, then you could offer your buyers a discount for paying through NoChex.

You may also want to check out a U.S. based company called ProPay at www.propay.com. They have been approved by eBay and have been getting good reviews.

I've read some comments at the eBay forum where Google may be introducing it's own merchant system called "googlebase". The "jury" is still out on this, but look for more info coming soon.

Finally... if you've been looking for a more traditional merchant account, without many of the fees associated with them, I came across an alternative solution over at www.free-merchant.com. They claim their cart-system "integrates easily with your e-Bay auction!"

There you have it, a few alternative solutions to PayPal. Keep your options open as a seller and your buyer may thank you with a winning bid!

An Introduction to Bidding and Buying on eBay

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Tue, 02 May 2006 15:21:00 +0000

Have you noticed that whenever you open a newspaper, watch the TV or have a conversation, people seem to be talking about eBay? If you’ve never used it and you’ve no idea what it’s all about, then the chances are that you’re starting to feel a little left out. But don’t worry! This email contains everything you need to know about the basics of bidding and buying on eBay.

So What is eBay?

eBay is an online auction website – and not just any auction site, but the biggest one in the world. If you know how an auction works, then you already know how roughly eBay works. Someone adds something they want to sell to the site, and then buyers come along and place bids on it. The highest bid wins the item! It’s that simple.

eBay being an online auction makes a big difference, though. Buying and selling are not reserved for any elite. eBay accept almost any item, no matter how small, and will then advertise it on their sites all over the world. It’s a powerful combination of an auction and a slightly chaotic marketplace.

What is Bidding?

Bidding is when you say how much you will pay for an item in an auction. Bidding on eBay, however, doesn’t work in exactly the same way as a normal auction, at least in theory. On eBay, you tell the site what the maximum you are willing to pay for each item is, and then eBay places the bids on your behalf. That means you could say you were willing to pay up to $100 for something and only have to pay $50, if that was the highest maximum bid anyone else placed.

It’s not as complicated as it sounds – the best way to get used to it is to give it a try. First, the best thing to do is to go to the eBay website designed for your country. If you don’t know the address for it, just go to www.ebay.com and it will tell you there. Now, on the front page you should see a big box marked ‘search’: just type in anything that you’d like to buy there.

Wasn’t that easy? Now you should have a list of items for sale in front of you, along with how much people are currently bidding for them and the time when bidding ends for each item. If you click one of these, you can read the description, and then – if you’re happy with the item and happy to pay more than the current highest bidder is – you can bid!

How Do I Bid?

Go ahead and scroll down to the bottom of an item’s description page, and type the maximum you are willing to pay (your maximum bid) into the box. Then simply press the ‘place bid’ button – you will need to sign in once you press the button, or go through a quick registration process if you don’t have an eBay username).

If someone else’s maximum bid on that item is higher than yours, then eBay will tell you and give you the opportunity to bid again. Otherwise, you’re now the new highest bidder! All you need to do now is wait until the end of the auction – if someone else outbids you, then eBay will email you and you can bid again.

All sounds great, doesn’t it? But by now you might be wondering whether a site as chaotic as eBay can really be all that safe to buy from. That’s why I'll soon be telling you about your rights when you buy from eBay.

Nikon Coolpix 5200 Digital Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 19:35:00 +0000

I was randomly looking through the digital cameras today, and found such a huge range of Nikon cameras at vastly different prices.

I already have a Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera, and I paid just over $110 last October (2005). Now, I see the next model up, the 5200, on sale on eBay starting at just $0.99 !!

The camera I have is superb quality, as you would expect from a company like Nikon. Let's face it, all they make is digital cameras.

Some of the items start at over $165.00, which would be about right for this type of unit, but there are some starting at $0.99 and there is no reserve. Get in quick.

Here's the list...

View the auctions here

The Nikon Coolpix 5200 digital camera boasts an impressive list of features, including...

5.1 Megapixel
3x Optical Zoom
4x Digital Zoom
5x Flash Modes (for different environments)
12MB Internal Memory
Blur Warning

If you're currently looking for a new digital camera, you'd do well to take a look through some of these auctions now.

Getting Started On eBay

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 13:48:00 +0000

You’ve probably heard about how much money can be made on eBay. With dreams of quick riches and easy money, you are probably ready to jump in with both feet – right now! The best thing you can do if you are serious about making money with eBay, however, is to slow down. In fact, just stop for a minute. Don’t rush straight in. Take your time, and do it right.

eBay has over 100 million members. Think about that number for just a minute or two. When you get your eBay business set up, that is how big your customer base will be – instantly. 100 million people - 100 million people who are just waiting for you to get set up and running so that they can throw money at you! Well, not quite. It is true that there are over 100 million members, but at this point, they don’t know that you exist. In fact, no matter how well you do on eBay, most of them will never know that you exist. 100 million is a very large number.

The most successful eBay sellers started out as buyers – and you should too. This will give you a sense of how everything works. It will also show you how things are from the buyer’s side of the fence. Let’s call this period of time ‘consumer research.’ You are literally studying how eBay works, from a customer’s point of view. You may not realize this, but this eBay buyer experience will actually make you a much better seller – right from the very start.

Really pay attention to the customer service you receive from the buyer. Think about how you want to be treated as a buyer, and take notes. Take your time during this process. Interact with the sellers. Get involved in hot auctions to see what they are like. In your spare time, start making notes about the hot items that you see. These notes will come in handy later.

eBay works just like any other business. You have to determine what people want to buy before you can hope to be successful. There are very specific items that sell really well on eBay – you just have to figure out what those items are. There are many resources for finding out this information. Start with the lessons that eBay offers to their sellers. Strongly consider attending the eBay University as well. This is the next step in the process. After you have had the eBay buyer experience, it is time to learn how to be an eBay seller.

Read all of the information eBay provides for you at the site. The information is free and you will learn a great deal from it. Take full advantage of this – before you start setting up your first auction or your eBay store! By reading through all of the resources, you will avoid making numerous mistakes that so many before you have made. This is another step towards building a successful eBay business. Once you’ve made it through the learning process, you should know everything you need to know to get started with a money making eBay business of your very own.

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 12:01:00 +0000

A girl that died on a dark railway
Now she's being sold on eBay
Of course it's sold in a nice photo frame
Does she know what she became
Does she know she has a see-through top?
And what you can do with Adobe PhotoShop
It also appears her legs have gone
It's only $2, place a bid. Go on!!

Auction closes 29th April.

Dr Who Fans Will Love This

Exterminate!! Exterminate!!

Daleks are on the rampage in the UK, destroying everything in their path. Residents in Aldershot, Hampshire, South West UK, are in fear of their lives. Anyone of them could be zapped at any minute.

Ok...

That could be a slight exaggeration.

Bob, the Dalek is on sale (ends today 22nd April). It's a full size replica model and looks very good quality. I'd like to go pay Bob a visit, but I haven't the time.

Never mind, I'm sure he'll find himself a new home with a generous new owner. Otherwise, they will be exterminated!! Aaaaaggghhh!

Pimp My Hide

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 22:07:00 +0000

Ok, Now I've seen everything!!

A taxidermist from Alaska is selling pimped up, stuffed roadkill. I'm serious!

He's taken 2 flattened Hoary Marmosets and stuffed them. Then he's made the male into a pimp, and the female into a frisky little working girl. It's a really funny site, but just shows how some ingenuity can make something out of nothing.

And you should see the price tag...

Auction ends Monday 24th April. Have fun.

Hot Selling Items for eBay Auctions

noreply@blogger.com (Roger Mayne) — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 13:13:00 +0000

Many people who are trying to start an eBay business spend a great deal of time trying to figure out which items sell the best on eBay. Many of these people have elaborate systems for determining this information, and many others purchase expensive courses that teach them how to find this information as well. None of that is necessary. Everything you need to know is right in front of you – on the eBay website!

Take a look at any category, and you will see the word ‘hot’ beside some items. These items are not marked as hot sellers randomly – there is a method to the madness! Items only get marked as hot when there have been more than thirty bids placed on the item. All you have to do is wander around the eBay website for a while to find an item that will do well.

However, most power sellers will agree that there is more to figuring out which items sell best than this. In fact, they claim that it is a science. A great way to start your search for items that will result in a successful auction in the future is to do research on the auctions that were successful in the past. You can view old listings that have completed at: listings.ebay.com.

A new way to determine what items sell best on eBay is ‘eBay Marketplace Research.’ Marketplace Research will allow you to view important statistical information on the buying trends at eBay. This product contains all of the data one could possibly ever need to determine how well – or how poorly – an item will do in an eBay auction. There is a small fee for using the eBay Marketplace Research tools, however.

Another tool that will be very useful in your quest for finding hot selling items for your eBay auctions is the listing of popular eBay search terms that is found on the site. This list can be found at: popular.ebay.com. This list is divided into categories, which will make it easier to determine how popular your potential item may be.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that an item will do poorly, or that it will do well without doing your homework on the item first. Some of the strangest things sell for the highest prices, while items that would sell quickly in any other environment just sit there. Almost any eBay Power Seller will tell you that the key to a successful auction rests in the amount of research you put into the items you hope to sell.
