Are you considering selling on eBay or you already sell on eBay? You’re going to want to watch this video really close because, for a lot of you out there, eBay is not going to be the answer for you any longer. In this video, I’m going to share with you why.
In like 2009, I started selling on eBay. I sold on eBay for a number of years and made a lot of money but I wouldn’t do it now. Why? Times have changed and that’s what I want to get into in this video.
There are a lot more things I can do off eBay that I couldn’t do on eBay. As time has gone on, they have placed more and more restrictions on sellers and have become less and less beneficial to the point where I don’t really sell on eBay anymore. Some people have worked it out to their advantage and they can still make money there but for most of you, I would not recommend it.
Now, I want you to watch the video. I will give you all the reasons why wouldn’t recommend selling on eBay anymore:
β 02:06 – SO MANY SELLER FEES AT THIS POINT β 02:56 – MAKE SURE EVERYBODY’S HAPPY β 03:11 – YOU HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OF YOUR LISTINGS β 03:33 – YOU WILL FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION β 04:30 – INVENTORY NIGHTMARES β 05:05 – EBAY IS A BARGAIN SHOPPERS MARKET β 05:36 – YOU NEED TO SHIP WITHIN 24 HOURS β 06:15 – THE WEBSITE GOES THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES THAT ARE BEYOND YOUR CONTROL β 06:51 – EBAY CONTROL DIFFERENT TAX BRACKETS
I would much rather sell from something I can control. On this channel, I’ve got a lot of other ways you can sell online and make money and I would invite you to check out those other ways. you can take a day or two and watch 20 of my videos on how to make money online. You can make money online and there are tons of other ways doing it without using these auction sites.
eBay hasn’t really kept up with the times and I don’t think they protected their sellers the way they should. They were so worried about the buyers that they forgot that they wouldn’t have buyers if there aren’t any sellers. If they don’t innovate, change the way they do things, and start protecting the sellers, I think they’re going to lose all those people.
