I have dropped the price of some of my products on ebay and added a shipping charge which compensates the price drop. But I'm getting more sales now than I was getting with free shipping.

Do you list your items at the Dutch ebay or American, and do you only ship in europe if so please explain.
For someone like me starting out would you reccomend to ship in europe first or doesn't it matter.

Feel free to pm me you can talk dutch with me.
Much apreciated,
Roy

see how far you can go with it until you reach an obstacle? Then, figure out how to overcome the obstacle.

I love this, too many people spend time thinking about all the obstacles they are going to face and never take any action.

16yearoldboy, you waits and waits and wait and goes on to wait.
Ok, look around in your house, maybe you have some things which you don't need in. And then try to sell them via the Internet. This will become your 1st step in your ecommerce. Then write down what products are manufactured in your country. And then see if you can pick up something to re-sell to other countries.

Let's one question; why you decided that ecommerce is for you?

@stranger - google "ebay stealth account". Can you setup an address in a nearby paypal friendly country?

About free shipping - eBay will rank your listing higher if you offer free shipping. If you have a rare item, there will not be many others listing so your item will naturally be at the top. If there are many other sellers, eBay takes free shipping into consideration

I sell on ebay.com and have also sold on ebay.co.uk
I will ship worldwide to any country you can imagine. Why would I limit myself to europe? And it doesn't matter where you ship to as long as you can ship to that destination.

Now what are you going to do with this information? What is the need you want to fulfill?

Bro,

Get a damn debit card. Get a damn bank account!

Don't have one? Use your mom's and when you start to see a lil profit from the "garbage business" model you have that is based on creating an ebay sellers account w/o a bank card, you can open your very own sellers account.
