IntroductionIntroduction

Want to be your own boss? Want to make a decent living selling online? Want to build your own successful eBay business?

Others have done it. Others have turned simple eBay selling into a profitable business. Others have figured out how to run a profitable business on eBay.

What do these sellers know that you don't? You'd be surprised; there are a lot of tricks involved in building a successful eBay business.

One hundred and one of those tricks are presented in this book, Tricks of the eBay Business Masters. One hundred and one tricks that show you how to sell profitably and successfully on eBay. One hundred and one tricks that show you how to grow your business into one that provides a full- or part-time income for you and your family.

What kinds of tricks am I talking about? Well, you'll have to read the book to find out, but in general these are tricks that help you plan for growth, locate and purchase inventory to sell, create effective auction listings, pack and ship efficiently, and manage your business and business growth.

Want to know what products to sell? That trick is in the book. Want to find out the best service to use for shipping your products? That trick's here, also. Want to learn how to increase your profit on every item you sell? That's here, too.

Where do these tricks come from? I've garnered these tricks from years of personal selling on eBay, and from observing hundreds of successful eBay sellers over those years.

  3. Tricks for Purchasing and Managing Your Inventory

  4. Tricks for Creating More Effective Listings

At the end of each chapter you'll find a profile of a particular eBay business. These eBay business masters share their advice and expertise about selling on eBay; they're examples of how it works in the real world. Read and learn from them.Conventions Used in This Book

I hope that this book is easy enough to figure out on its own, without requiring its own instruction manual. As you read through the pages, however, it helps to know precisely how I've presented specific types of information.

As you read through this book you'll note several special elements, presented in what we in the publishing business call margin notes. There are different types of margin notes for different types of information, as you see here.

Note - This is a note that presents some interesting but not necessarily essential information about a topic discussed in the surrounding text.

Tip - This is a tip that might prove useful for whatever you're in the process of doing.

Caution - This is a caution about something that could prove harmful to your business—so take care!
