Selling on eBay
Yes, you get a lot of deals in eBay why, because people will sell things for the cheapest they can mark it down to. The market is saturated in eBay by people selling it the cheapest, and you have to be a power seller just to make anything decent. If you sell something cheap enough you will be a power seller in no time. Shoot selling 100 things a day cheap you will make enough to keep going. So selling on eBay could be really hard trying to make enough profit because of the many people selling thing too cheap already.
Some people can argue that eBay already has loads of traffic to it, I look at the internet the same way. Plain and simply put the internet has more visitors than eBay. Every person signing on a computer online and searching for a product is a potiential customer. I feel any site has the potiential to do well. A person needs patience and instead of paying those high fees eBay charges, fuel that into advertising your site or making your site better to gain top positions. True, that doesn’t mean the person signing on the internet will find you, but that is also the same when someone signs on to eBay if they are going to find your products. Both ways you need to make your site and products accessible to the people.
I am not saying people can not make it selling on eBay, I am saying they go there expecting to try and get something for real cheap. This is how auctions and flea markets sometimes go. Trying to get the best deal is why people go or looking for something they can not find in stores.
How long have you had a website and marketed it? Did you know that with the RIGHT kind of links and content that is all you need to gain top rankings? With the right look you can get the desired price. When someone searches and you come to the top, chances are they are going to purchase from you.
