Why Would You Want To Sell On eBay?

By Jesse Holmes

Let's say you could have an entire business in a box. What if someone gave you every tool you needed, all the software, the website, the merchant account, and most importantly, millions of customers ready to buy what you sell. Would you be interested? How much would you pay for that "instant" business. Hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars?

The fact is that everything I just said that seem so unrealistic is a reality right now on one website. That website is eBay. eBay is the fastest and easiest way to have a web presence today. You can start making money online before the week is up. You can have a complete business structure and start selling products online in under 30 minutes.

Still not convinced? Let me show you how big eBay really is. In 2008 alone, over $60 billion dollars was sold on eBay. $2000 sells every second. Plus there are over 90 million active members. That's why eBay is called the world's largest marketplace. Do you think that maybe there are some customers that would want what you sell?

But how can you be a successful seller on eBay? Of the thousands of people that have taken advantage of eBay... only a few have great success. You can hear the stories of internet or eBay millionaires, but it's only a small percentage of the millions who have tried.

Why is that? The main reason is because the average person goes on eBay and instantly thinks that eBay will make them right overnight. Sorry to tell you, but that's not how business works. Building a business is a process that requires learning certain skills. You need to know how to provide a great product or service for your customer. The sellers who are making it big online are those who are focused on the customer first.

Even though many people give up, don't let that discourage you. Some of the most successful people on eBay right now have started where you are. Most successful people aren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Instead, they've learned the skills to be successful. You can too. Everyone starts as a beginner and trains to be a success.

One of the great advantages to selling on eBay is that there is so little risk to get started. You don't have to hire a dozen employees and rent a warehouse. You don't have to raise thousands of dollars in capital.

Other than a computer, an internet connection and a digital camera, there isn't much needed to get started selling on eBay. Of course with time you will need to develop a line of inventory to sell, but if you learn the right way, you can easily cover your inventory costs and keep cash flow moving through your eBay business.

Business truly is changing today. The barriers to enter a market are quickly diminishing, and you can start being your own boss quicker than ever before. You're going to see a huge influx in people wanting to make money online soon, and you don't want to get left behind.

With everything literally at your fingertips, there's no excuse. Why don't you start your own eBay business today? Get away from the skeptics (who never make any money online anyways) and start learning from those who are already successful.
