powerseller
see on ebay ask any one what is the percentage of sold amount they pay back to ebay as selling fee,
Iam a power seller, over 13000 feedback,
I pay close to 40% of my sales,
literally iam not making any money,
plus i have 7 people to list, pay there salary, buying products to sell and inventory
iam literally not able to pay all my bills.
plus ebay keeps charging my credit card like carzy.
i STARTED THE GAME NOW i CANT END.
I have credit card debt of over $56000
and employee....
so I started my own site callednow iam starting to make money on this site.
what I do is
I put a bid banner a picture with my website name on ebay listing,
****pictures cant be linked to your site then ebay will suspend you*****
plus iam getting some sellers to sellers to sell on my site also i charge a small fee.
they are also making moeny....
its not like ebay, I want to have a win and win suituation between me and my sellers
on the whole e commerce is a loosing venture for me,
iam not able to keep cash in my account.
my sales is like $175000 per months
but I will have to pay $200000 to my bills
ebay fee, inventory, employee, internet connection bills and computer...
not able to maintain cash in my bank account
what fun there will be if there is no cash in bank
so I would suggest is ebay should only an alternative
if not its a big loosing game,
sellers wont know, if you sit down and put down your numbers on papers you will see what Iam talking about.
as a seller you will be working for ebay,
you will be busy packing shipping and sending invoice
in the end you will not be making money ....
only ebay will be becoming right....
watchg out and becareful,
make sure you make cash money
dont think yu have feedback on ebay its a asset....
all this dont count, any time ebay can suspend you and you can be in big trouble.
make sure your able to maintain a decent money in your bank.
if your not able to maintain a decent bank balance then your ebay venture a waste of time.
i used to have 3 shops, with full inventory
in 3 years it had gone down to 1 shop
and very low inventory and
bill outstaing of over $120000
at a point of time I was broke....
all this because of ebay, yahoo and google
be very careful on your online business
always have a brick and morter store also
just in case the online business is not getting enough cash... to keep you going
I have a very good experiance....on this ebay and online business....
