Information is the key to making money, but it comes at a price. If you have the information that other people want, however, you can sell it at a huge profit. It’s not unheard for sellers with educational ebooks to make thousands of dollars per week, just by selling their ebooks on eBay. It’s surprisingly easy to get started, and you don’t even need to write your own ebook to do it.

There are literally thousands of ebooks available on the internet, both free and for a small fee. Finding the right ebooks to sell on eBay is perhaps the hardest part of the process. You need to find an ebook that offers information that other people need, but that isn’t readily available elsewhere. For this reason, most successful sellers stay away from free ebooks, as it isn’t difficult for other people to find these ebooks themselves.

Instead, purchasing ebooks for a low price along with the resale rights seems to be the way to go. Resale rights are important to consider, especially if you intend on allowing your buyers to resell the ebook themselves. Without resale rights, you cannot legally sell the ebook you have purchased. Research the resale rights that you are getting along with your ebook purchase to see if there are any restrictions that prevent you from selling the ebook in certain places, or if there is a price limit you must adhere to.

Once you have a solid inventory of ebooks, it’s time to start selling! To sell your ebooks on eBay, though, you need to familiarize yourself with eBay’s new rules with regard to digital products. You can no longer allow instant downloads of ebooks purchased through eBay. Instead, you must deliver a tangible product to your buyers to sell within eBay’s rules. A good way to do this is by copying your ebooks onto a CD when a buyer makes a purchase. You can then mail the ebook on CD to your buyers.

While some sellers see this method as a setback, it actually poses a benefit to your buyers. In the past, when a buyer purchased an ebook that they digitally downloaded, they could eventually lose the ebook when upgrading computers or reformatting their hard drive. They would then have to repurchase the same ebook, if it was even still available, or be out the money and the ebook.

With a CD, your buyers have a permanent hard copy of the ebook they purchased. That means if they have computer issues, or decide to upgrade their machine, they don’t have to worry about losing the ebooks they purchased from you. They can simply insert the CD into their CD-ROM drive, and their ebook is instantly available again.

Ebooks are an easy product to sell on eBay, and can be a great source of income for anyone. Even if you don’t have the time or the knowledge to write your own ebook, there are thousands of ebooks you can purchase for a low price specifically for selling on eBay. And once you purchase an ebook, you can resell it as many times as you’d like – your income potential is virtually limitless!

Due to the continued rise in popularity, eBay has become one of the best places that you can turn to for selling and buying all types of goods and some services. There are now classifications such as PowerSeller that demonstrate clearly why it makes sense to be selling your goods on eBay. First, let’s get a clear understanding of what a PowerSeller on eBay is. A PowerSeller is one who achieves the requirements set forth by eBay for sales volume, customer satisfaction, good account standing and policy compliance. You  may be wondering why you need to be a PowerSeller on eBay and if so, it’s a good thing to understand why becoming a PowerSeller can take your business to the next level and put you ahead of the competition.

Anyone who is a PowerSeller on eBay has earned the reputation of having shown a proven track record of quality and quantity when it comes to selling, starting with becoming a Bronze PowerSeller. eBay offers a seller dashboard that lets you track your progress from the start. Each month you can qualify for PowerSeller status providing that you meet the following guidelines:

• Maintain an active account for at least 90 days
• Comply with eBay policies on feedback, detailed seller ratings (DSRs), sales volume requirements and policies regarding violations

If it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t. There are several PowerSeller Tiers you can choose from, which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Titanium. Sales volume or number of items you must sell to qualify are $1,000 or 100, $3,000 or 300, $10,000 or 1,000, $25,000 or 2,500 and $150,000 or 15,000. This gives virtually everyone the opportunity get started selling and working their way to PowerSeller status in no time.

When it comes to violations, you must be careful to avoid going over the specified limits, which vary from level to level but all within a 90-day period. The Seller Dashboard provides information on your compliance level. As for feedback and DSRs, the minimum feedback requirement is 100 with 98% of the feedback listed as positive. DRs must have a 12-month average of 4.5 or higher on all four categories, which are shipping time, communication, shipping and handling and item as described.

If all of this sounds a little complex or slightly overwhelming, there’s no reason to believe that you have to become a PowerSeller all on your own. There are plenty of resources and helpful aids that will create a path you can follow from start to finish. So why not get started on the road to success by becoming a PowerSeller on eBay now? Your profits are calling!

eBay Policy Changes – Enhanced Search to Boost Relevancy in Listings
By Vickie Sayce

Did you ever wonder why your eBay auction listing wasn’t getting visitors? You may have a great item up there but let’s face it; until recently, eBay’s search relevancy wasn’t the best. Finding items that actually interested you was a crap shoot. The new changes put this down for good.

First, if you are using the Best Match feature and decide to edit the price or description of an item, you retain your recent sales figures. Until now, those sales figures would be re-set and you lost all relevancy up to that point. This helps sellers stay at optimal advantage competitively.

Next, eBay finally got the point that it takes traffic to sell. So they now added some traffic generation type adjustments to their fixed price auctions format. For instance, impressions now count towards your listing performance using a percentage formula. A listing with 5 sales in 50 impressions sores higher than one with 5 sales in 100 impressions.

NOTE: An impression is any search results page that has that item listed on it.

Also a major change is that multiple quantity and single item listings will receive this exposure under the new Best Match format. This means that even though these items typically do NOT gather historical sales stats, they WILL get the same exposure as all listings. More visibility = more sold items, plain and simple.

Many other factors have been added as well, like accuracy of titles and seller performance ratings. Relevant titles are will raise your score and seller performance will positively affect the status of top rated sellers. Sellers who do not meet the new requirements will be demoted in auction and fixed price listings.

Considerations in shipping costs will be figured in as well, so offering free freight is a great idea to increase the visibility and raise the performance score, especially for single item sellers. Another factor will be optimization by category where the most recent listings from the best sellers get the best exposure. Basically, the new system takes many different aspects into view, so there isn’t one magic potion.

eBay has also launched a new “visibility tool” for sellers to manage their listings, monitor impressions, check performance and determine what can be done to make the listing better. This is much like the PPC control board at Google’s AdWords site. A one stop analysis tool that allows sellers to quickly adjust listings and move inventory.

One important change is the one made to auction style listings with a Buy It Now option. After October 1, the Buy It Now price HAS to be at least 10% more than the starting price.

Features that have been mainstays are going away forever, folks, and here’s a list of them:

– Featured plus
– Highlighting
– Home page featured
– Border
– Gift services
– Pro Pack

All these are being made no longer available. In addition, “Featured First” will only be available to Top Rated sellers. These will NOT display under Best Match searches.

Product pages will appear to more buyers across the board.

All in all, eBay has made it more profitable than ever to sell on the site. Check them out personally for more details.

eBay Policy Changes – Rewards Sellers For Providing an Excellent Customer Experience
By Vickie Sayce

eBay is the world’s marketplace and is dedicated to the buyer experience there. Because membership is free at eBay, they have instituted a set of policies that help ensure a quality experience for buyers. But the policies have been recently updated and the changes benefit the sellers in a more positive way.

First , eBay uses a rating system called a DSR or detailed seller rating. This is calculated by buyers rating their experience in four areas:

1. Communication.

2. Accuracy of item description.

3. Shipping time.

4. Shipping and handling charges.

eBay has made a change from using an overall average of ratings to the amount of low reports (1s and 2s) instead. In addition, only transactions with buyers in the USA will count for US sellers. Also transactions and reports from returning US buyers will be used to reward sellers who continually provide excellent service.

This new way of looking at the DSRs benefits both sides. Sellers get a firsthand look at areas that need work and buyers can see exactly how many low scores you have received. As an added benefit, sellers with a top rating will receive discounts on fees, promotions on Fixed Price Listings, be able to purchase featured first and will have a badge prominently displayed on item pages.

Top rated sellers will qualify for these benefits if they meet the following criteria:

1. Have 100 transactions equaling $3000 or more over the last 12 months.

2. No more than .5% of those transactions receiving low DSRs of 1 or 2 on each of the four areas.

Even low volume sellers can be a top rated seller. These are sellers with less than 400 transactions per year. For these sellers, two DSRs of a 1 or 2 will be allowed prior to the .5% being instituted.

eBay has also revamped the time period at which the DSRs will be evaluated. Sellers with more than 400 transactions within a 90 day period will be evaluated every 3 months. All others will be evaluated every 12 months. This is based on a calendar month.

eBay has also made it easier to become a PowerSeller. The discount structure is tiered like this through April 2010.

- For sellers with a 4.9 or higher DSR, 20% discounts are applied.

- For sellers with a DSR of 4.8 receive 15% discounts.

- Sellers with a DSR of 4.6 receive 5% discounts.

These discounts will continue from now until April 2010, so current PowerSellers can continue to receive these discounts as long as the 30 day DSR level is kept up.

For PowerSellers, this means that you can receive the discounts for a full eight months while you acclimate yourself to the new system and adjust your selling practices to adhere to the new standards.

These changes have been made to empower the seller and, at the same time, benefit the buyer ion a mutually beneficial way. Sellers receive discounts and make more money while buyers can more readily assess the status of the sellers. Everybody wins in the long run.
