question how come first class envelopes have to be 3/4 inch thick. i sell currency so essentially flat packages however if i dont put something in the envelope to make it thick it gets returned. how stupid is that? for them if htey took them flat they would stack easier and take up less space in...

I signed up for a store a few months back. It's sorta cool if your into text marketing, email marketing, etc in that you get more of your customers information and can market to them outside of ebay although I think inkfrog and other programs like that can do that for you without having a...

He claims he bought one of the accounts for 100k, however he lies alot so I don't know if he's being honest or not. When he proposed it to me he was trying to only offer me like 7k, i can make that in a relatively short period of time anyway plus use ebay to drive traffic to my site as well so...

Generally I'm not one to tattle or report someone just for the sake of reporting them but this guy has like a dozen accounts half of which he purchased that had over 5,000 feedback. He lists duplicates under all his accounts and basically dominates ebay. I report his duplicates they get taken...

I have a pretty good ebay business in my niche. Recently a competitor or mine called me and asked to buy my account. I told him I wasn't interested in selling and also that's against ebay TOS. He says if I don't sell to him he will drive prices down so low I can't compete, drive me off ebay and...

I had an ebay user report me for "using their picture" truth is it was a stock photo picture he didn't own and I had just as much right to as him, I also edited it heavily so was almost unrecognizable. Anyhow, ebay wound up pulling a bunch of my listings. Ever since this happenned I went from...

I used to get my ebay merch from storage auctions but once those tv shows came on it ruined the business for us regulars who used to go. used to be like 3 guys and we'd take turns buying units as not to run the price up on others. then 300 people started showing up to some auctions and the unit...

I'm not quite at the point of being able to live off ebay but even if I was not sure I would rely on a third party service I who I have no control over fees, costs, policies to earn my living with. I think most people probably need their own personal site where they make money and pay less fees...

dont only think about drop shipping programs. if there's a certain product you'd like to sell or nics he area just look at companies that sell taht stuff and contact them directly. oftentime they'll have a program setup and just dont advertise it or they may be willing to negoitiate a deal...

I basically open up paypal every night and go right down the line, anything that has a "print shipping label" option gets printed anything i may have to manually make a lable for and drop at post office i imput tracking immediately from my phtone. ive slowed down a bit but i was doing 20+ orders...

The most important thing you need to do is keep your feedback at 100% and keep your DSR scores high. Every 30 days ebay reviews and upgrades your limit if you ask for it. Even if you don't need an up in your limit still request one as it's better to have ahigh limite and not use it than have a...

I have a website that sells collectible currency Iraqi Dinar and Vietnam Dong. I want to setup an affiliate program. I have seen Jrox but am super confused by how to use it. I put an ad on craigslit and had some guy wanting 50k to setup an affiliate program for me which is way out of my league...

I am a wholsaler. My product is collectible currency specifically Iraqi Dinar and Vietnam Dong. I mainly sell to people who are re-selling on ebay as well as their own websites however some people also sell locally through craigslist or flea markets.

There's a lot of great Fiverr gigs that will help you promote your store. You can also make youtube vids doing reviews and or product showcases. Also if your product appeals to a certain niche where a product is hard to find do some guest blogging, blog commenting, forums, etc.

I am a power seller and a top rated seller. It really saves me big. Not only do I save on my final value fees I also only pay paypal like 2% instead of 2.9% and shipping is where I save big. Most of my items ship in flat rate usps express envelopes. Normally costs $18.95 at post office, I print...
