50% Off on eBay Fees

Posted by dropshipebayer on January 20, 2009

This is just a quick note to let my readers know that eBay is currently offering 50% off on 1 and 3 day auction listings. This means that as an eBay seller you will pay 50% less on your listing fees. This can be a big savings especially if you have some large ticket items.

I recently came across some wireless microphones that sell for quite a bit and was planning on waiting until May to list them but I think I will give them a shot this week.

Slow eBay Sales Season, but I am Ready for March.

Posted by dropshipebayer on January 14, 2009

Did you think I was dead?  No, I was just busy!  But I have some time now because this is a slow time for me on eBay.  After an amazing Christmas season where I think the slow economy actually helped my sales, things have dropped off considerably.  But I am not concerned.  I am using my dropshipping sucks skills to buy what I can and be ready for March!

Last March is when things really took off after the holidays.  I did pretty well after the holidays last year too.  But this year with the economy what helped my Christmas sales is hurting my post Christmas sales.  During Christmas time everyone was on eBay because everyone wanted a DEAL.  Everyone wanted to save some money and spend a little less.  Now I think everyone is shopped out.  Everyone is in savings mode.

It is a little painful, but again I will be able to ride it out and really cash-in come March.

I have been able to find a few great items to resell:

4GB SD Cards for $1.66 which will be great to sell to people who got Digital Cameras for Christmas and want to use them for the summer.

7″ Digital Photo Frame for $16.40 which I can sell along with the SD cards :-)

A huge lot of 96 various Nintendo Wii games. Some of them are not as popular, but I got all 96 games for $504.  This is a big investment for me, but I see me easily doubling my investment.

As you can see, I am ready and I am not just using the dropshipping-style techniques Christopher taught either.  I am still using the techniques for buying products to sell on ebay, but I am not just buying one item at a time after it sells anymore.  :-)

I just wanted to give my fans a quick update and to let them know that I still have a heartbeat.  WISH ME LUCK!
