Just find those certain items that are purchased for far cheaper than what they sell for :P
 
any good courses on legit ebay sellnig and sourcing. Not guru Hyped up earn $10k day in your pJ's. But real working methods? Seems Hitch is good at this but no course....
 
Buy low Sell high :)



The reason for lack of a good course(s) our there on ebay is most good sellers who are making a fulltime living don't have time, nor want to make time to make an ebay course.

I've talked to the gurus from Jim Cockrum to Skip McGrath and none of them are really that good...they just provide information for someone else to try.

Yesterday I spoke to one of my competitors, he's actually a really cool guy, we chat every now and then, I asked him if he would ever consider making a course he basically said "F* that".

So then you're left with the people who are barely making it, come up and tell you how to make money on ebay. Their "system" is usually 90% bogus, or strictly theory.

eBay is not that glamorous, there are a lot of turning wheels for most larger sellers.. internet marketing is more "sexy" make money on the beach doing nothing.. for new sellers running out of their house fulltime will find it hard to make it to the beach.
 
Agree, raise the price on the Ebay side, and get a better discount with your supplier, if you are selling well, you'll want to do that and probably they accept, expand your market by the way, locally seems like a good idea.
 
I'm no expert, but if you've only got 2 other competitors, then just raise the price and put it in different categories...so there's less chance it'll appear next to the cheaper version. Also, are the products identical that are being sold to yours? If not, then differentiate it somehow in the description to justify the increase in price.

There's a reason you can pay $10 for a hammer and $75 for a hammer -- yet they will both work just the same. The $10 hammer will say "made in china" on it. The $75 hammer will have an elaborate description about how it make household projects a snap.
