Seller Income Possibilities
by Jeff Cohen
If you’ve ever read an article about eBay,
you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make – it isn’t
unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month
on eBay.
Next time you’re on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers
there are: you’ll find quite a few. Now consider that every
single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per
month, as that’s eBay’s requirement for becoming a PowerSeller.
Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while
Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum
level is $25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller,
and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every
month!
The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the
income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even
set up a business on eBay – they simply started selling a few
things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose
full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have
been doing it for years now. Can you imagine that? Once they’ve
bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit
for these people – they don’t need to pay for any business
premises, staff, or anything else. There are multi-million
pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay PowerSellers
do.
Even if you don’t want to quit your job and really go for
it, you can still use eBay to make a significant second income.
You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to
the post office for delivery each Saturday. There are few other
things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere
near that kind of earning potential.
What’s more, eBay doesn’t care who you are, where you live,
or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very
young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling
on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being
very poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the
real world constantly puts up. There’s no job interview and
no commuting involved – if you can post things, you can do
it.
Put it this way: if you know where to get something reasonably
cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay –
and since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale,
that’s not exactly difficult. Buy a job lot of something in-demand
cheaply, sell it on eBay, and you’re making money already,
with no set-up costs.
If you want to dip your toe in the water before you commit
to actually buying anything, then you can just sell things
that you’ve got lying around in the house. Search through that
cupboard of stuff you never use, and you’ll probably find you’ve
got a few hundred dollars’ worth of stuff lying around in there!
This is the power of eBay: there is always someone who wants
what you’re selling, whatever it might be, and since they’ve
come looking for you, you don’t even need to do anything to
get them to buy it.
So
you want to get started on eBay? Well, that’s great!
