My ebay experiment Year One - Page 4

I just have them come to the house
there are so many No Shows, At least meeting them at the house I can be doing other things that need to be done

I don't text >> I only do phone calls and eMails



I do both craig and eBay equally > I make money on both or wouldn't be doing them

eBay takes some serious planning to alleviate the stress. I have found that monthly withdraws as opposed to weekly, good communication with the buyer. A good template for listings, a good inventory system, an easy return policy and a built-in 5% loss on sales into you prices (this allows you to return $40 without feeling like your being taken advantage of). The most important thing however is to pick the types of customers you want. If you are a lowest price type of seller then you are inviting the cheapest most problematic type of buyers. I don’t care if the item I’m selling was free, the price will reflect it’s worth and will sit at that price for 12 months if need be until it sells. Take pride in your testing, in your shipping, in your prices, in your storing, in your returns and the stress levels will remain low.
