Windy blast 2

Windy Blast 2

Hello. I said I would mention Ebay, well everyone raves about Ebay but there are a lot of things to notice about the way some vendors conduct their selling.

It`s a wonder they sell anything at all and they could certainly do a lot better, in fact thinking about just that , an enterprising person could make a living telling them where they are going wrong and charging a fee.

For instance have you noticed in the clothing category you see expensive coats and jackets for sale , but in what a way. Looks like they have just laid the coats, dresses, jackets on the floor or over a chair, and photographed it. It looks absolutely scruffy.

Now wouldn’t it look better if a lovely young woman was stylishly posed in the coat, dress or jacket. Don`t tell me that these people don`t have a lovely girl friend that would be glad to pose. No one is suggesting that they pay a model to do it for them, they have suitable friend

This even goes for car vendors, have a nice young lady slouched nonchalantly in the drivers seat. Another idea if they are selling 4 x 4 s don’t have it all polished up and shiny. No, take it down a dirty old lane and get it filthy, then pose beside it in your scruffiest car coat and wellingtons. Don`t laugh, it`s not silly . I tell you it will put Dollars on it.. Be Told.

When you are putting in your text for whatever, direct your presentation to one person, your selling to one person not thousands, he or she is your buddy. Write your text accordingly and you will notice a difference. Don`t be too eager in your presentation, it will show in your writng , be laid back about it but don`t fall over.

Ever really thought about checking out these sites I have been talking about? There are a lot of them believe me So, how do you go about finding these sites? Easy.

First, log on to ebay, when you get the page look for favourite Categories, these categories.

  • Books, comic an magazines
  • Clothes ,shoes
  • Collectables
  • DVDs and TV
  • Health and beauty
  • Jewellery and watches
  • Music
  • PC and video
  • Photography

I wonder why they are favourite? I should think because these are the type of things that can be easily sent by post.

Now look for the box that says search and click it,

Click the buy it now tab and wait for the results. This shows sellers using “buy it now” features.

Click customise display which is on the right

When the new page loads you`ll see two white boxes

In the left hand one is “type of seller” click it once

Now click the arrows >> to move what you`ve clicked over to the right hand box.

Scroll down and click the check box next to “ display feedback info” the tick appears in the box.

Look down for the sort by drop down menu.

Click the down pointing arrow to show the menu.

Click price: Highest first.

Scroll up and click on customise search options.

When the new page loads look in the left hand box for type of seller again Click it once/

Now click the arrows>> to move it over to the right hand box.

Scroll down further and click save.

When the new page loads your search results appear.

Scroll down and look on the left for the check box next to “ Type of seller”

Click it so that a tick appears.

Look down now and click the downward pointing arrow to reveal a drop down menu that has business and private in it.

Click business just to make sure

Look down a bit then Click “ show items”

You will see the abundant amount of items found.

Now if you are the type of person who thinks he can show these people with the poor photos and crummy presentations how it should be done for a sizable fee, then go to it.

Now I got a questioning email from a lady who was having trouble with her Bonsai plants.

Which I will try to help next time

Farewell.
