Make $300 Your First Month On eBay
Are you new to eBay and struggling? Are your items not selling at all? Are your items not selling for as much as you would like them to? This is likely for a couple reasons.
Though it's possible your listing isn't well optimized, maybe you could use a better title, description, pictures, etc. Likely the main reason your not selling items is that you don't have a high enough feedback and/or sales rank.
People who are established sellers in a specific category, and who have a proven record of happy customers get shown higher in search. As a new seller you don't necessarily have any negative strikes against you, however you also don't have a good track record so eBay buries you in searches and if your items don't show up high in searches people won't see them and in turn people won't buy them.
What if I told you there was a way to build up your feedback, build up your sales rank, and do it while making $300 in your first 30 days on eBay?

The Method
Okay, so in the past I've actually bought popular items and sold them at a loss. I didn't care because my ultimate goal was not to make money selling these items, it was just to give my eBay account a boost.
As you know as a new seller it'd difficult to break in. What I did on my last new eBay account was buy 50 iPod remotes. I paid $5 for them. I sold them all at 0.99 cent auctions with free shipping. While some of these wound up selling for $8 or $9, many of them sold for 0.99 cents or maybe $1.99. I was losing money, but like I said I didn't care because the goal wasn't to make a profit on these items, it was just to get some sales under my belt, raise my feedback, raise my seller rank, build up some seller metrics.
Once I did this, future items I listed would sell organically because I had spent the time building up some sales rank.
How You Can Build Up Sales Rank While Making $300+ Your First Month
Okay so not many people want to buy items to sell at a loss. Totally understandable. I have since found an even better method.
Many people don't know that you can get FREE Amazon products just for leaving reviews. For those of you who aren't aware Amazon is a very competitive market. Most items will only sell once they have built up 15 or 20+ reviews. Because of this Amazon sellers give away free or discounted products in return for buyers like you leaving an honest review on Amazon.
Here's how it works. You go to a site like ReviewKick.Com. You shop/browse the various products being given away. Some are FREE, others are heavily discounted at 80% or so off.
So here's the method. You request a bunch of free products. Within a day or so sellers will approve your request and provide you with a promo code. You go buy their item on Amazon. During the checkout process you enter the promo code they provided you with which will take the total due from say $39.95 to $0. YOu get the free product. Uphold your part of the deal by leaving an honest review on Amazon and then you have completed your obligation to the seller and ReviewKick.
At this point the item is yours to do with what you want. You list this item on eBay. I wouldn't expect to get the full retail value but on say a $39.95 item I would expect you'll probably sell it for $18 or $20. Regarldless of what it sells for it was free for you so even if it sells for $2, that's 100% profit and money in the bank for you. As an added bonus it also gives you a feedback and builds up your sales rank.
I regularly get about a dozen packages a week from these review exchange sites and I primarily use only 2 or 3 of them. All in all there's probably well over a 100 different review exchange platforms from sites like ReviewKick and AMZ REview Trader which are more shopping platforms, there's also facebook groups, e-mail lists, and more. Here's a list to over 40 sites where you can get free Amazon products in exchange for your honest review. The more of these sites you signup for the more free stuff you will get.
For those of you who don't know much about Amazon, the sweet spot for Amazon FBA items, due to the high fees charged for Amazon fulfillment, is anywhere from $15 to $50. This means that the stuff your getting for free is not crappy little items, it's generally stuff which would retail between $20 and $50. I've gotten everything from leather messenger bags, hoverboards, kitchen utensils, bluetooth speakers, and more. Some of the stuff I keep for myself and some of the stuff I resell.
Now with an average price even on the low end of say $30, if you get a dozen products a month which can easily be done you have $360 in inventory. I typically get about a dozen or more products a week so that's about $1440 a month worth of product. Even if I only get 50% resale value on those products that's still $720 profit, and that's all 100% profit, all while building up my sales rank, seller metrics and feedback.
