    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    It used to be (I haven't sold on eBay for almost a year so might have changed) if you used the "relist" button you kept most of your best match metrics. Glad to hear you are still ranked pretty high.

    If you put your listing as "good until cancelled" once the time runs out it will just start another 30 days of the listing automatically. It will keep your sales and ranking. If you did a 30 day listing originally you will lose all the sales rank etc.

    How does a teenager make money?

    An option you have is continue to go the eBay route but have your parents put their social etc on the PayPal account. You could also learn to repair iPhone/ iPad/ iPod touch screens. You can charge a really good price per hour and have a lot of possible customers since people are always...

    How to actually SELL on eBay???

    Absolutely correct! That is exactly the problem. Buy them and ship them from the U.S. and your sales will skyrocket. People have been burned far too often with Chinese sellers.

    How to actually SELL on eBay???

    Are you using buy it now listings or auctions? If you are using auctions most people won't bid until the last 24 hours with the majority happening within the last couple of hours. If you are using buy it now it comes down to position on best match and "lowest price" searches. If there are tons...

    I'm not sure how much you have been in contact with them prior to now. Once or twice or hundreds of times? Have you made any orders? Were they small or large? If you've never purchased anything from them at all or nothing beyond samples it is pretty easy. Just say the product wasn't exactly...

    I had different sequences on my site than what was on eBay. When I started my site I didn't accept PayPal so all the payments in PayPal were eBay and all the payments through my cc processor was my website.

    I never did anything with the invoice numbers on the separate sales. Why would you need to?

    It really comes down to testing. In backpacks for example how would your customer find your item? Do they search for "backpack"? "Hiking backpack"? "3 pocket hiking backpack"? Every category is going to be slightly different on what the customer searches for specifically. People looking for an...

    Why "Goal is to make 1k a week" Is The Wrong Approach.

    I started with absolutely nothing and really no idea what I was doing. I did 950k last year in sales. There are many successful business owners that started with nothing and built their businesses to multi million dollar companies.

    File a paypal claim, get your money back, and move on. If they can't keep their word and get your items sent find someone else. There are plenty of suppliers that are more than happy to actually send the products you order.

    2015 is in the books. I missed my sales goal by about 35k. Christmas sales were good but didn't explode quite as much as I expected. 2016 goal is to do 5x what we did in 2015! Will it happen? We will see! What about YOU? What are your goals? What are you going to change or do differently to...

    2016 Million Dollar Challenge

    Making a million means many different things. A million in sales? A million in profits? A million in the bank on January 1 2017?

    Ebay Warriors

    Yep, this totally happens all the time. Descriptions, photos, etc. get stolen and eBay does nothing about it. In regards to the original post selling on eBay can be profitable but it is no longer as simple as throwing up products and raking in the money. On many products there are now hundreds...

    Opportunity or waste of time?

    REAL ESTATE 
    You are not talking a couple bucks. You are talking from 80k to 100k. If your aunt found out that you made 20k that should have been hers do you really think she would be happy with the situation? I agree with Jon.a taking advantage of family is not an acceptable option.

    The whole premise of your post is based on your opinion that successful companies don't have Money as their number 1 goal. How many successful companies have you run? How many boards have you sat on to form this opinion? For some reason you are taking it as a personal affront that people...

    Amazon Helps Chinese Merchants Double Their Sales

    Here is the issue that Amazon will be having. The product I was looking at was a Minion stuffed animal type thing for my daughter. A Chinese seller had the buy box selling it at 14.99 shipped from Hong Kong. There were multiple Chinese sellers of this item shipped from China selling at around...

    Amazon Helps Chinese Merchants Double Their Sales

    There are a lot of them on there currently that are shipping direct from Hong Kong. That will turn off a lot of customers to Amazon.

    Amazon Helps Chinese Merchants Double Their Sales

    I noticed this in the last couple of days. Amazon is shooting themselves in the foot badly but doing this. Short term it is good for numbers but long term US customers are not happy with getting items in 2-3 weeks from Chinese sellers. eBay started doing it and now Amazon. Looks like it's time...
