    Which Entrepreneur Did the Better Job?

    MINDSET 
    I agree with the thinking that person #2 did better. If you can't find a way to take a grand and turn it into at least 12-15k in a year you really aren't trying very hard. You can make a grand a month using just craigslist and eBay or many other ways. Heck, I picked up stuff people had out for...

    It's totally fine to do auctions and buy it now at the same time. You can't have multiple buy it now listings for the same product but you can do as many auction as you want. I always had good results putting best offer option on my buy it now listings as well. It is more work because you have...

    You can still be scammed on your website but farrrrrr less likely. Scammers know they have you over a barrel because ebay and PayPal will always side with them. The only way for them to scam you on your own site is file a charge back with their credit card. If they are filing those all the time...

    Try it both ways. I normally just bump my price up by that amount so I'm still offering "free" shipping. For some reason people are too lazy to figure out shipping costs and seem to gravitate to free shipping listings

    It is easier now than when I started simply because I've done it many times. Sometimes I will find 5 possible products in a couple hour span and sometimes I'll find none. You just have to keep shooting til you hit your target.

    If paypaL gives you the option make them return it for a refund. Not responding to the dispute will automatically make you lose. When someone goes nuts on me, demanding a refund, completely unreasonable etc. I always choose the option to have them return the item for a full refund. 50% of the...

    I always order tests (20-50 products depending on price). That allows me to see the quality of the items before dropping big money. That also allows me to test the market and see how well they sell. If quality is good and they sell well I will then order a few hundred. If sales are still good...

    It never hurts to ask. A simple email back only takes a couple minutes. You might try doing a larger sample (say 20-30 items) and see what price including shipping you can get.

    Ronak is correct. They are simply asking for your shipping account number. Just tell them you don't give that information out and you will pay for them to ship it to you. Also, as mentioned above, don't send money via western union or bank transfer.

    I am planning on just having some pretty general stores not super niche. For example if I wanted to sell cars it would be all makes and models all parts for them all accessories for them etc. rather than just the Ford Escape. I think it helps to have some general category for your site(Of course...

    I would never recommend anyone pay via western union or tt to someone you have never met or visited. Even if you flew to China toured the factory etc I still wouldn't reccommend it. Every time I have sent money through those methods I have lost it. Many other people have done the same. Tell them...

    With only one product it would be hard to look like a legitimate website. However, there are many ways to fix that (drop shipping from other companies, carrying more products working with other sellers of like products, working with local businesses in your area to list their products that are...

    I'm driving sales through Google ads and through customers from eBay. I have actually stopped selling on eBay entirely at this time and gone solely to my website. Most people have no problem with a price increase over eBay prices as far as I can tell. I'm sure some people have not purchased from...

    Random stuff is where I start. I just think of a random word for example "house". I search that word on eBay and sort by best match. I also sort it out by buy it now. I then just start at the top and work my way down looking and seeing how many sales each item has. You can find many new items...

    The great benefit of eBay and Amazon is that you get millions of customers going to those sites. The problem is that you have thousands of competitors as well. When you have your own site every sale made is money in your pocket. You don't have to compete with someone one listing below you or...

    My wife and I spend 1-2 hours a day packaging everything up. Researching is most definately the most time consuming part. You just have to make time to do it.

    Why in the world would I pay to drive traffic to ebay? If I drive them to my site I don't have eBay's fees and I have many opportunities to get ongoing sales from that customer.

    It can absolutely happen on eBay and Amazon. One of the things you have to understand is you are at their mercy. It is best to do all in your power to control your own business rather than relying on eBay or Amazon to be "fair". Many times they just don't care. There are ways of getting back on...
