Make $300 Your First Month On eBay

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.

How To Make $500 Your First 30 Days On eBay

How To Make $500 Your First 30 Days On eBay

If you're reading this your probably a new eBay struggling to get sales. You list items, but nobody seems to buy them. Most likely it's because nobody is seeing them.

eBay's number one goal is to provide a positive buying experience to buyers. Because of this eBay would rather show items and sellers who are established and have a track record of providing a satisfactory buyer experience. As a new seller this will be an uphill battle trying to build some sales rank so that your items will be shown more prominantly in ebay searches.

It's kind of a catch 22. eBay won't show your items until you can prove you ship quickly and have happy buyers, but you can't get those buyers to prove yourself as a seller because eBay won't show your items. I have a strategy for new sellers which will not only help you build up your sales rank and seller metrics, but will have you making money while doing it. If you follow this method you can easily make $500 in your first month selling on eBay.

The New Seller Hurdle

I've already explained to you guys what the new seller hurdle is above. But how do you get past it? In the past I've actually bought hot selling popular items and sold them at a loss just to build up my seller ranking. With my last new eBay account I bought 150 iPod chargers. These were an item I knew that would sell. I paid $5 per charger and wound up listing them all at auctions for $0.99 cents. While some rose to $7 or $8 and were profitable, many sold for $0.99 cents to a couple bucks and I lost money on them. I didn't really care because the ultimate goal wasn't to make money, it was to build up my seller metrics and feedback.

I knew that even though I had a poor seller ranking, since it was a hot selling item if I ran auctions and priced my items low enough people would take a chance on a new eBay seller for a discount and I would sell those items. I quickly grew my feedback to over 100, I grew my seller ranking and my other items began to sell organically.

I have a better method for you guys though. You don't have to buy items to sell at a loss and lose money. I have a way you can build your seller ranking not only for FREE, but you can make money while doing it. To the tune of $500 per month even on a completely brand new eBay account. In the next section I'm going to show you exactly how I do it.

The Method - Make $500 Your First Month On eBay

Many of you may not be aware that Amazon sellers regularly give away products for free in exchange for the "buyer" to leave them a review of their product on Amazon. Amazon has become so competitive that it's basically a necessity that every new seller with a new product give away free units to build up some feedback, otherwise they will never rise in Amazon's search.

As an eBay seller you can take advantage of this. Signup for the free product giveaways. Get the free product, do your part and leave the seller a review, and then resell the merchandise on eBay. It doesn't matter what it sells for because you got it for FREE and it's 100% profit to you. As long as you make sure the shipping cost gets covered it's all money in the bank and it's a way to raise your seller rank and make money while doing it as opposed to losing money trying to do this like I used to do.

So how do you go about getting these FREE products? Two of my favorite sites to get free stuff from are ReviewKick and AMZReviewTrader. You simply signup for an account which is free. You'll then be able to browse and shop among all the free products, choose the ones you want, and request them. Within a day or so the seller will provide you with a promo code making the item free. You simply enter the promo code during checkout and it will make the balance $0 and you get the item for free.

All in all there's over 40 different sites and e-mail lists where you can signup for FREE Amazon products. As I mentioned earlier, my two favorites are ReviewKick and AMZ Review Trader but there's a ton of others and if you like you can get a list of over 40 sites where you can signup and shop for FREE AMAZON PRODUCTS!

Now for those of you who aren't familiar with Amazon FBA. Because of the high fees sellers pay Amazon for fulfillment products sold via this method typically need to be between $15 and $50 to make it worthwhile for the sellers and to cover FBA fees. What does this mean for you? This means your not getting cheap crappy products for free, your getting higher priced items. Now you probably won't get the full retail price reselling, however you can still get a pretty penny. Just to give you an idea the types of items I've gotten for free. Some items are $10 or $15 items like phone chargers, phone cases, etc. On the higher end however I've gotten purses and messenger bags worth upwards of $70. I've gotten beach tends upwards of $50, etc. These are some quality items you can fetch a pretty good price for on ebay.

Start there, if your items aren't selling start your auctions at 0.99 cents and charge enough shipping to cover shipping costs and just let the auctions go off where they may. Again, this is 100% profit to you so even if it sells for 99 cents that's 99 cents more than you had before. As you do this the more you sell the better your items will begin to rank and you'll start getting more views and more bids on your items.

Amazon to eBay Dropshipping a bad business model?

Amazon to eBay Dropshipping a Bad Idea

You're probably familiar with what drop shipping is. Lately there's a movement of using Amazon products to sell to eBay customers.

Some people claim great success with this model but in reality it's a recipe for disaster. If nothing else buyers are going to be confused when they order an item from eBay but receive an item from Amazon, even if with a blind packing slip.

Many customers are then likely to go over to Amazon to checkout the product there. When they realize you sold them a $10 Amazon product for $20 it's going to lead to people doing returns to buy the product cheaper or leaving you negative feedback because they feel duped.

I'm not disagreeing that people should be allowed to make money but ordering wholesale from China and reselling at least takes a bit more work than two clicks on Amazon.com and it will and it does rub customers the wrong way.

Many Amazon sellers will also include marketing materials in their packages which means they will wind up stealing the customer you sold to if they offer a coupon or include some marketing materials.

Watch the video below to learn more about why Amazon to eBay dropshipping is a bad idea.
