7 tips for selling on ebay

I’ve recommended eBay before as a great way to test a new product. For a growing number of entrepreneurs, though, eBay is their sole storefront. The beauty of eBay is that it lets you get into e-commerce without having to go through the trouble and expense of setting up an e-commerce site of your own. These seven eBay selling tips will help you get started selling on eBay successfully and get on your way to becoming an eBay PowerSeller.

1. A picture IS worth 1000 words. It’s old-fashioned, but people still like to see things before they buy them. For successful eBay selling, make sure any products you list on eBay are accompanied by professional quality photographs.

2. Do your eBay research. When selling on eBay, before you list a particular product, spend some time researching other similar products on eBay and following the bidding process. This will help you gauge the interest for your product and help you determine how much your product might be worth.

3. Learn all about shipping. Shipping is under the control of the eBay seller, but some methods of shipping are better than others when you're selling on eBay. You want to find the best method of shipping for your product in terms of expense and reliability and then specify that shipping method in your eBay listing. (And don’t forget to include the shipping cost in your shipping information for potential buyers.)

4. Pay as much attention to the writing of your eBay listing as to your picture. For selling on eBay, you need a powerful eBay listing. And the trick to writing a strong eBay listing is to combine search engine friendly phrasing with concrete details about the product in a way that will entice people to bid on your product. Take the time to craft your eBay listing just as you would any ad.

5. Offer a full slate of payment options, including credit cards. The more payment options you, as an Ebay seller, offer prospective bidders, the more bidders your product will attract and the more successful your selling on eBay will be.

6. Focus on getting positive feedback first. Feedback really matters when you're selling on eBay. If you have a consistent record of positive feedback, prospective buyers will both bid more often and be willing to pay higher prices. So you may want to hold back on placing higher priced products until you have a successful track record as an eBay seller established.

7. Be business-like. Act professionally, provide the kind of superior customer service that will build your reputation, and make sure that you’re following all the business rules that apply, such as registering your business and properly charging and remitting taxes. Selling on eBay is just like any other business; to become an eBay success, you need to follow the rules and provide the kind of customer satisfaction that will translate into increased eBay sales.

My New Companion

Yeah~ finally dapat jugak memiliki seekor sugar glider. dah lama berkenaan tapi disebab kan hal kewangan dan harga nya yang agak mahal. tu yang menjadi kelambatan untuk memiliki Sugar glider ni.
Aku cerita sket tentang bagaimana kami berempat + kawan aku 3org nak mendapatkan sugar glider nih. ceritanya bermula begini..

Ok aq jumpa penjual glider ni kat mudah.my yang dikenali sebagai "bob glider" nama penuh aq tak taw ler. tak kisah sebab bukan nak beli brother tu.

sebelum ni kawan aq pernah beli seekor glider dari die. sebab aq yg tunjuk kat mudah tu. tiba² die trus nak beli katanya dah berminat lama. ceh~ potong jalan aq jek mamat nih. die terus telefon Bob glider tu dan terus deal bila nak amek. aq pn ape lagi rasa tercabar la gak. hehe. sebab glider ni memang dah lama aq minat kerana kecutean die. sebab sebelum ni member aq ad pernah bela sekor dan aq pernah pegang(dalam beberapa tahun lepas).

Straight ke cerita aq..

Ok disebabkan dah tak tahan sgt kerana nak sgt memiliki sugar glider nih, aq dengan tidak semena² terus telefon abg bob tersebut dan terus deal bila nak ambik. wah~ ini sifat bahaya ni tak berfikir dulu masak². tapi takpe. so deal punya deal, kami dah tetapkan nak jumpa ari sabtu. di depan ancorp mall<-maaf kalau slh eje. payah bebeno nak eja. pergilah kami berempat, aq dan 3 kawan aq yang lain menaiki kereta aq yang mengalami kerosakan waterpump bocor + temperature naik. kami bertolak dalam pukul 1 tghari, baru sahaja keluar dari tol nilai, kereta dah tersidai di tepi jalan disebabkan temperature yang terlalu tinggi hingga menjejak bar merah. (takkan nak lanyak jugak) mau blown engine dibuatnya.Jadi berhentilah kami di bibir jalan smbil memberi minum kepada en wira coklat saya. mungkin dia haus sebab tu temperature die naik. kami teruskan juga perjalanan walaupun tahu yang en wira takkan boleh pergi jaoh disebabkan keadaan temperature yang terlalu terok. Jalan punya jalan, berhenti punya berhenti memang bnyk kali berhenti semata² untuk satu tujuan iaitu mengambil "anak angkat baru" hehe. sampai tol sungai besi dah pukul 3 lebih janji pukul 3. konpem tak sempat. nak tanak kene telefon abg bob utk cakap yang en wira rosak. mcm² cara yang kami buat utk bagi en wira ni tak naik temperature. air paip pun kami bg minum bnyk2 tp tak jalan juga. agaknya nak 100 plus kot. fuh~ memang penat nak smpi petaling jaya. lepak wo. tapi penat aku hilang bila dapt tgk kehadiran abgbob bersama glider nya. bukan tgk abg bob penat ilang tp tgk glider ler. tgk abg bob buat ape. sungguh comel tp kecik skit dari member aku punya yang aq ambil sebelum ni. lepas deal semua kami pun bertolak pulang. ha~ ini yang sakit. kerana enwira dikhuatiri semakin teruk. dalam keadaan trafik jam pekerja2 pulan dari tempat kerja. takkan nak bawak en wira ni. nanti berasap tgh jalan kan dah susah. jadi untuk tidak memburukkan keadaan aku berhenti dari pukul 5 smpi kol 8 lebih baru kami bertolak sebab time tu time jam kat KL. perjalan pulang sama seperti pergi, berhenti dan terus berhenti. abis semua bibir jalan aq cium. kali ini dah penat kuasa dua. kami smpi di kolej pukul 10mlm. balik² terus lepak tp si kecik ni bising rupanya nak makan.haha. aq keluar lagi kejap beli apple kasi dia.

How to care your Sugar Glider

It is very easy to feed your sugar glider; no special foods are required. You probably already have all the foods you need on hand. However, you need to realize that sugar gliders can be picky eaters—they’re a lot like kids that way. They’ll love one food for weeks and then suddenly they won’t touch it. You have to take the time to find out what they like and offer them a variety of foods. They also need fresh water daily. Some owners feed their gliders once a day at dusk, while others will feed twice a day. However you decide to do it depends upon your particular glider.

Which method you choose depends upon your particular sugar glider. If he’s still hungry in the morning, give him a small amount of food then and more in the evening. It is most important, though, to make sure your sugar glider has proper nutrition. If it doesn’t, the glider could develop a vitamin deficiency. You will immediately recognize the signs if your glider begins to drag his hind legs. If the deficiency is not immediately corrected with liquid vitamin supplements, the glider will soon lose the use of his hind legs and die. If you give your glider too much protein, your glider may become obese and less active.

Counteract this by giving him more fresh fruits and vegetables. If you give them too much fat, your gliders may have breeding problems; if the mother gets too much fat, her babies will be born with fat rolling in their eyeballs. Avoid this by giving your gliders a low-fat diet, which is the bet diet for them. Sugar gliders need a diet of 75% fruit and 25% protein.

So what should you feed your sugar glider? Here is a list of foods that sugar gliders like:

pineapple, peaches, apples, pears, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, melons, grapes, papaya, apricots, oranges, fruit juices, blueberries, dried fruit, fruit jams, and assorted baby food. Give them about 3grams of fruit at each feeding. Do not use canned fruits in place of fresh because they contain preservatives and refined sugar. Gliders also like corn, sweet potatoes, squash, raisins, carrots, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried peas, low-fat deli turkey and ham, and almonds; you can give them from 2-4 grams of these.

They also like to have 1 peanut in the shell per day, mealworms. 1.5 grams of dog kibble, and 10 grams of hard boiled egg

You can also feed your sugar gliders 2 teaspoons of something called Leadbeaters Mix. You need:

Warm Water 450ml

Honey 450ml

Shelled boiled eggs 3

High-Protein baby cereal 75g

Sustage (Vitamin supplement) 3 teaspoons

Mix:

Add warm water to container, slowly add the honey and mix in.

Blend eggs (no shells) until mushy.

Add 1/2 honey/water mix to the blended eggs, blend.

Add the remainder of honey/water mix, blend.

Add sustagen and half the baby cereal, blend

Add the remaining baby cereal

Blend for 1.5 minutes to make mixture lump free.
