As if you haven’t by now heard, millions upon millions of people of people buy and sell on eBay every single day. Some only make a few sales here and there. Others have figured out what it takes to become “Powersellers.” Powersellers are the very small underground of eBay sellers that do at least $2,000 per month in sales on eBay and maintain a 99% positive pointer rating. Powersellers are the ones that really know what they’re doing and if you really want to be successful on eBay then follow the secrets they revealed to me.
So, what are the secrets, tips and tricks that will produce you to become a Powerseller as well?
Well, I’ll be completely trustworthy with you… I may be well on my way but I’m not a Powerseller yet. But, one thing that I know from making several successful businesses is that if you want to become the best at a touch, you need to copy those that are by now successful, question them to mentor you and question questions and take notes. And now I am going to take what they taught me and pass it on to you.
This is part three of a four part article series. You will find links to the other parts of this article series at the end of this article.
SECRET STRATEGY #12 – DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE YOUR CUSTOMER HAPPY… EVEN IF IT MEANS LOSING MONEY ON A DEAL!
Of course, we’ve all heard “the customer’s permanently right!” On eBay it’s even more right. Here’s a touch odd that you probably don’t know: when a customer tells other people that a company or product sucked, the people they told are 5 times more likely than the person that told them to not do business with that company or buy that product. Five times more likely than the person that really bought the thing!
Now, on eBay it is even more vital as a seller to make sure that you maintain a highly positive rating because every single potential customer can see the negative ratings left for you. In addition, for every 1% (for sellers that have a rating under 1000) you’re your pointer is lowered, you will lose 11% in bids. That’s why every Powerseller says that their rating is more vital than cash that they lose off one deal. Personally, I can tell you that I know that several bidders have bought my information harvest and then questioned for their cash back even though I know that they are still using the product (FYI, there are certain tricks that you can use to make cash off even those that rip you off.)
I also highly recommend that you subscribe to SquareTrade and register for the Better Business Bureau Online if you be eligible. I’m sure that you are familiar with the BBB so let’s talk about SquareTrade. SquareTrade has been working with eBay pretty much since eBay started and they are a certified eBay partner.
In the end, what they do is reconcile disagreements with customers but, even more beneficial, they immediately investigate negative pointer is soon as a customer leaves it for you and they work with eBay to remove negative pointer that is malicious (i.e. your competition buys a product just to leave a negative pointer.) If they determine that the negative pointer was indeed caused by the seller, they attempt work out a resolution with the buyer so that the negative pointer can be removed.
Many Powersellers have been subscribed to SquareTrade for years and they also told me that it pretty much pays for itself straight away because when buyers see the SquareTrade logo on the listing that the seller is making every attempt to make sure that their customers are fully satisfied. Check out SquareTrade:
http;//www.a-to-z-web.com/links/squaretrade.html
Next, I believe, as do all the Powersellers that I spar with, that you should permanently place forward a powerful guarantee. I, for one, place forward a 180-day, no-hassle, satisfaction, cash-back guarantee on any information product that I wrote and at least a 30-day guarantee on everything else. One thing that I do not do is place forward a “100% Cash Back” guarantee even if if a customer questions for all of their cash back, I give them exactly what they question for. What I do is permanently send them an email telling them that they will get to keep the product since there is no way me to make sure that they don’t use it. Most of the time they question for 25-75% of their cash back but very rarely do they question 100% of their cash back.
Also, for physical harvest most Powersellers require that bits and pieces be returned in their original condition. And they charge a restocking fee for all returned bits and pieces. But remember that their customer’s satisfaction permanently supersedes these policies. Just keep this in mind: your pointer rating is your best advertisement but can also be your largest downfall. Never let your emotions get in the way and permanently make 200% sure that your customer walks away pleased… even if you have to bribe them with extra gifts.
SECRET STRATEGY #13 – BUILD YOUR OWN WEBSITE
While you don’t need your own website from the very beginning, every Powerseller I spar with has their own website. Why? One, they do not want to be at the mercy of eBay. Certainly, eBay doesn’t make it a goal of theirs to hurt businesses that sell on eBay but on occasion they do. For example, a few years ago, many people realized the power of selling their cars on eBay. At that time, it cost around $60-80 to place an ad in the newspaper or AutoTrader but only a couple of dollars to place an ad on eBay.
So, many auto traders started making businesses where they would sell their cars on eBay. Well, eBay soon realized this new popularity and then produced eBay Motors. Now, it expenditure $40 to list a car and $40 at the close of the sale. This is still a pretty excellent deal but certainly more risky than it was previous to. But, Powersellers realize two things: 1) that it is not excellent to be at the mercy of others and 2) that they can make more cash selling through their own web site.
That’s why it’s very vital to set up your own web site as soon as possible. Furthermore, when you have people buying through your own web site, you don’t have to pay eBay fees which can save tons of cash. Irrevocably, many Powersellers have urban ways to use eBay as a traffic generator rather than really try to make cash off eBay. For example, they might have an informational product that they are selling like “The Most Spectacular Fishing Trips In The World” and to promote this product, they sell various fishing bits and pieces such as lures and rods.
Of course, they want to make a profit off these bits and pieces but the huge cash is in the back end product. In this case, one could sell the fishing guide as well as have affiliate tie-ins to companies that selling fishing tours in the areas that were talked about in the guide. On top of that, if you get the customer’s email address then you can contact them in the future about new harvest or air force. Even if you cannot set up your own website straight away, at the very least, make sure that you get their email address for use in the future.
SECRET STRATEGY #14 – ACCEPT EVERY FORM OF PAYMENT THAT YOU POSSIBLE CAN!
Powersellers make it as simple as possible for their customers to pay for an item and give them as many options as possible. Many sellers are opposed to accepting credit cards because of the fees that credit card companies charge. This is the most ridiculous belief when it comes to business for several reasons. One, the average credit card buy is 30% higher than buys made by cash or check. So, do the math. Do you make more cash by offering credit card payments or less? Sure you have to pay 2-3% to the credit card company but you will make 30% more on the sale.
Now, many people then say “Well, why should I accept personal checks or cash orders then?” Because, even though credit card payments are the safest way to pay on the Internet, many people believe that they’re just not safe. I try to tell people that using their credit card on the Internet is really safer online than offline as the credit card companies attest but, most of the time, they simply don’t believe me. And you know what?
I despise having to go to the bank to deposit a check and wait until it clears but the pun thing is that even though I accept checks and cash orders, the winning bidder rarely wants to pay via check or cash order. This goes back to the first reason why you should accept credit cards… because people that pay via credit card are willing to pay more usually making them the highest bidder. Irrevocably, when you accept more forms of payments, you’ll receive more bids and the appealing thing is that this can evenly times make a bidding frenzy.
SECRET STRATEGY #15 – START WITH THE LOWEST BID POSSIBLE AND AVOID RESERVE BIDS
Many sellers are terrified of early their auctions at $.01 and not having a reserve price. They are worried that if they do this then the item that they’re selling will sell for less than its worth. First of all, an auction is capitalism at it’s best. Whoever is willing to pay the most gets the item. In the end, whatever the highest bid ends up being IS what the item is worth.
Of course, if you have read the rest of this article then you’d know that there are many things that you can do to receive higher bids on your auction like count photos and writing a fantastic description. But, the Powersellers that I spar with all told me that they start 99% of their auctions at $.01 with no reserve; the rare exception being extremely expensive bits and pieces that they have never sold previous to.
You see, one Powerseller that I interviewed told me about a small experiment that he conducted on several occasions. In the end, what he did was place identical bits and pieces up for auction which he knew that he normally had sold for $300 (with a early bid of $9.99) in the past, placed them in the same categories and started and finished them at the exact same times. The only difference between the two auctions was that one auction he started at $.01 and the other he started at $25. In fact, if one searched for the particular item that he was selling, these two auctions would show up right next to each other.
At the end of the auction, the one that started at $.01 had expected 63 bids and finished with a winning bid of $343. That’s $43 more than he had ever made off a previous sale. The auction that started at $25 finished with only 43 bids and a final price of $287 for a difference of $56! Remember that everything was exactly the same apart from for the early bid price.
Why does this happen? It’s pretty simple really. First of all, you’ll receive bids from a larger number of unique bidders and remember that every time a name is outbid, they receive a notice that they have been outbid. In affect, eBay is promoting your item for you even more.
Second, more bids draw more bidders. Question yourself this: when you are scrolling through eBay listings, what catches your eye more: an auction with 3-4 bids or an auction with 20. Some people claim that it doesn’t make a difference but the numbers verify otherwise. Bids beget more bids.
Irrevocably, people permanently want to “win!” You know, when you go to Wal-Mart and buy a touch, they don’t say “You Won!” do they? Of course not! But on eBay, you’re the “winning bidder!” The more people that you draw into your auction then the more people you will have wanting to win.
Don’t be frightened! Permanently start your auction at $.01 and “no reserve.” This option permanently makes more cash. But there is one exception to this rule: don’t do it when you are just beginning to sell an extremely expensive item that you have to place a lot of your cash on the line. For example, when I first started selling sporting tickets on eBay, I really had no thought what I was doing or how to effectively list an item. But once I figured that out, it really didn’t topic how much I bought the tickets for because when I listed them at $.01 and no reserve, I made about 18% more per sale!
Special note: if you have no reserve on your auction, permanently place “no reserve” (minus the quotes) in your auction title or, if you don’t have enough space for that, then place “nr” in the title. Do this because many people are opposed to auction with reserves and so they will permanently search for their keyword plus “no reserve” or “nr” and if your title doesn’t have these keywords then they won’t see it.
Well, that’s it! Armed with these secret eBay strategies, you too should be well on your way to making a very substantial income on eBay.

19 Secret Strategies of eBay Powersellers, Part 3
Tuesday, May 18th, 201019 Secret Strategies of eBay Powersellers, Part 4
Sunday, May 16th, 2010As if you haven’t by now heard, millions upon millions of people of people buy and sell on eBay every single day. Some only make a few sales here and there. Others have figured out what it takes to become “Powersellers.” Powersellers are the very small underground of eBay sellers that do at least $2,000 per month in sales on eBay and maintain a 99% positive pointer rating. Powersellers are the ones that really know what they’re doing and if you really want to be successful on eBay then follow the secrets they revealed to me.
So, what are the secrets, tips and tricks that will produce you to become a Powerseller as well?
Well, I’ll be completely trustworthy with you… I may be well on my way but I’m not a Powerseller yet. But, one thing that I know from making several successful businesses is that if you want to become the best at a touch, you need to copy those that are by now successful, question them to mentor you and question questions and take notes. And now I am going to take what they taught me and pass it on to you.
This is part four of a four part article series. You will find links to the other parts of this article series at the end of this article.
SECRET STRATEGY #16 – OFFER DISCOUNTS
Every single Powerseller that I interviewed offers some type of discount. It could be a touch like buy one and receive a second at 50% off. Or it could be that you place forward free shipping on a further buy. Just make sure that you place forward some type of discount and also keep in mind that “free” permanently works much better than anything else. For example, rather than say “Buy two and receive 50% off” say “Buy one get one free”. “Free” is a trigger word that really hooks people.
Furthermore, I have found that for most bits and pieces, that offering free shipping can really make you more cash than if you didn’t. For example, a few years back, I wanted to find out if this was really right. I had two total rows at a concert and for the front row, I had people pay for the actual shipping expenditure which was like $9 to send them via FedEx 2-day delivery. A set of two tickets sold for about $400. The row in the back had free shipping and they sold for about $490 a set.
I made $81 more by offering free shipping. And it had to be the shipping because everything else about the auction was the same. In fact the better tickets made me less cash. Now, I am sure that there are some exceptions to this rule (like maybe you are selling bulk bits and pieces for $.01 and really making your profit off the handling) but I can’t really reckon of many examples. In fact the only exception that I can reckon of is international shipping.
But my point is that “FREE Shipping” works because it is very noticeable on search pages. Remember that the word “free” is a trigger word that catches people’s attention. The only other words that catch people’s attention like “free” is “you” and “sex”. Hey, I’m frightened to reckon of what might happen if you place all these words in the same condemn!
Irrevocably, with regards to the word “free”, permanently include it in your title IN ALL CAPS by simply count “FREE bonus”. And then give your customers a touch for free. You can tell them what it is or not but permanently be sure to place a dollar value on it. For example, when I sell my information harvest, my bonus is a subscription to my email newsletter which I permanently give away for free but I place a value on it of $9.95 per month because I really believe that it’s worth that much since I know that I permanently over deliver. So I permanently tell my buyers that they are going to get a “bonus worth nearly $120 per year!”
But here’s the key: it’s doesn’t really topic what the bonus is… all you are trying to do is get eBay users to click on your auction because you can’t start selling your product to them until the open the listing! Remember this every time you make a new listing. Your first objective is to get them to click on the auction listing. Reckon of it this way, you can’t sell to a name unless you get them in the store!
SECRET STRATEGY #17 – KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR GREAT DEALS!
Every single Powerseller that I spar with told me several tales about one small deal or a touch that they found for free that made them a ton of cash. One of them told me about how he goes to swap meets and watches the buyers all day looking for one item that a bunch of them seem to be buying. He then buys one for himself and tracks down the manufacturer so that he can sell the product on eBay. This is an awesome thought because really what he is doing is market research by watching the buyers at the swap meet. In addition, this same Powerseller oftentimes buys a large quantity off a swap meet seller at a really low price right previous to the seller is about ready to leave for the weekend because would the seller rather make a small cash or haul everything back?
A further Powerseller went to Africa for his honeymoon and while he was there he found some fabulous African headdresses. He struck up a deal with the maker and bought 500 of the headdresses at $2 a piece for $1,000 total. When he and his bride returned home, he sold the headdresses on eBay for about $75 a piece, made over $36,000 and got to write off his $10,000 honeymoon as a “business expense”! He did so well selling the headdresses that he chose to “take a business trip… tax deductible of course… back to Africa” and order 2000 more. Also, to share the wealth, he “gave the maker a bring to somebody’s attention” and paid $5 each without the maker even asking for it! I bet he was pretty pleased. But here’s the really pun thing… he got such thrilled reviews for his previous buyers that the headdresses became much more in demand that his average sale increased to over $125! With these headdresses, he has made over $270,000!
So, keep your eyes open and snatch up those fantastic deals. On thing to remember, if you see a bunch of people buying a touch, then you can be sure that you will be able to find others that will buy. At the county honest? Question the standard vendors if they would like you to sell their harvest on eBay and split the profit. See a fantastic deal at Wal-Mart for some killer product? Buy a bunch of them and sell them to people that don’t live near a Wal-Mart or other discount store (and permanently list your bits and pieces internationally because international buyers will evenly pay you more and even pay the shipping for certain bits and pieces because many times that item is much more expensive in their country… even if it’s made there!) In the end, make offers that you can profit from everywhere you go. Sure, you’ll get dozens of “no’s” but one “yes” can make you thousands of dollars.
SECRET STRATEGY #18 – INVEST IN YOUR BUSINESS
Of course, you don’t want to waste cash on your business but I constantly see people that don’t want to spend cash on their business to make cash. eBay, in particular, has some features that can make you more cash when you use them and others that may not make a difference for your product.
For example, one of the largest mistakes that sellers make on eBay is not spending $.35 to have the product’s photo show up in the gallery. This is the largest listing mistake! Gallery photos draw greatly more clicks and bids and yet do a search for a specific product and you will see that about 1/3 don’t have gallery photos and permanently have lower highest bids. Without exception, all of my auctions have a gallery photo and are listed in bold as are just about every Powerseller listing.
And don’t be worried to invest in your business by purchasing things like auction software, a digital camera (especially now that you can get them for under $100), a postage system (I use Stamps at http://www.a-to-z-web.com/links/stamps.html) or a web authoring program like DreamWeaver. Certainly be sure to invest in a high-speed Internet connection like the ones not more than because they will save you an incredible amount of time and frustration.

SECRET STRATEGY #19 – ALWAYS BE LEARNING… ALWAYS BE UP TO DATE
As a personal coach, I recommend that people reinvest 10% of their income in their personal education so that they constant grow. And I suggest a touch similar for your business. Constantly read books about eBay and the Internet all of the time and you will grow year after year after year. Here are a few titles that I suggest to get started on eBay:

Comparipress Review – The Ultimate Price Comparison Plugin?
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Ben Johnson – The Brains Behind CompariPressIf you’ve ever done any affiliate marketing for an extended period of time, Ben Johnson is probably a name that will ring a bell. Ben is the mastermind behind the Affiliate Wizard website, which is well worth your time and energy. He’s also partially responsible for the phpOstock plugin, which allows you to add Overstock.com listings to your WordPress blog. Ben is quick becoming one of the most respected names in affiliate marketing, and he’s got a new product aimed at making price comparisons simple to implement – CompariPress.What is CompariPress?Place simply, CompariPress is a WordPress plugin that allows you to place price comparisons of harvest from various affiliate networks on your WordPress site. The affiliate networks include Amazon, the Amazon Marketplace, Linkshare, and Commission Junction. These vendors combined place forward literally millions of harvest for sale from thousands of different conceivably. Depending on the affiliate program, you can earn from 3% up to 20% commission.Ben calls CompariPress a “Price Comparison Unit,” which allows you to list the prices of harvest from different merchants. So, let’s say that you write a review of an Apple iPod Nano on your WordPress site. You could show how 10 different companies (or fewer, or more) priced the iPod. Imagine having harvest from Amazon, the Apple Store, Buy.com, MacMall, and Overstock on the same post. The Advantages of CompariPressThe main advantage of CompariPress is that it helps two groups simultaneously – you and your reader. It helps you because you will receive a commission from the merchant (so long as you are approved by their program), and it helps the reader because he or she will find the best price on the product they’re viewing. You could even combine CompariPress with phpBay Pro to place forward eBay listings.How Does it Work?I bought the CompariPress plugin the first day it was available, and I’ve by now installed it on a number of sites and am seeing fantastic results with it. As an experienced affiliate peddler, Ben knows a thing or two about flexibility, and the CompariPress plugin is incredibly flexible and customizable. You can customize the layout show settings of your harvest. I was able to buy, upload, and configure the plugin in about an hour. It does take a while to configure the plugin, but that’s because it has so many options. You can also use it an unlimited number of sites. I tried Comparipress on a variety of Wordpress sites and themes and encountered few issues. The only thing I had to do was have SOAP php extensions installed since my VPS server (hosted with ServInt) doesn’t come with SOAP preinstalled. It also requires SimpleXML and php 5.1.2.Pros & ConsThe pros are pretty obvious – being able to list various harvest from a wide variety of merchants is impressive. That’s not to say it couldn’t stand some improvements. The manual has a couple of errors that slowed me down during the installation, and I wished I had greater control over the tables it displays. I also wasn’t crazy about the stock “Info” and “Buy” buttons that were included, but in the product’s defense, it does allow you to upload your own. For a v1 release, though, these issues are minor.The Bottom LineIf you are a serious affiliate peddler, Comparipress might be the solution to your price-comparison woes. I know of no other plugin that allows so much flexibility for so small. There are similar harvest out there (Datafeedr, Popshops), but they all require monthly fees and still don’t have the flexibility of CompariPress, which is a one-time buy and usable on 1,000 sites if you wish.

Ebay Auction & Scammers
Saturday, May 15th, 2010Scammers And eBay :
Protect Yourself from Fraud Attempts by Email:-
What is a Spoof Email, and how do I recognize one?
I Expected a Spoof Email, WHAT DO I DO NOW?
Examples of email scammer messages – learn to recognize them
Other eBay Scams – ship to Africa, the eBay warehouse, etc.
Is there a touch I can do to avoid being fooled in the future?
a few pleased tales
a few sad tales
Spoof (Criminal Theft Attempt) Email Messages :
The current internet email system allows a message to be sent with forged return addresses. In addition, links within HTML formatted messages can also be disguised.
The scammer takes advantage of the combination of these two abilities to send you the “spoof” message. A spoof message is a message with a forged return address (thus appearing to come from eBay) containing a link that has been disguised (thus appearing to be legitimate).
Generally, each message starts out claiming you have some sort of problem (or occasionally, a REALLY excellent place forward, contest win or urgent question) that must be acted upon quickly. The message usually says that you need to ‘update’, ‘verify’ or ‘validate’ your account information. It might threaten some dire consequence if you don’t respond.
There can be some indications that these are not really from eBay or PayPal, such as poor spelling, grammatical errors, salutations and ridiculous claims. But, you can ALWAYS know they are fake because they question you to click a link (or a clickable button, like RESPOND NOW) in the message to resolve the problem. This is your first clue that it is FAKE. The scammers will ultimately learn to perfect their message content, but they must still convince you to click that link (or button).
If the message purports to be from eBay, a duplicate copy will be in the MY MESSAGES section of your MY EBAY. Permanently check there previous to even considering taking any action. If it is not in your MY MESSAGES, this is a further clue that it is FAKE.
If you do click the link in a FAKE message (not recommended) it will take you to a very real-looking screen with genuine logos and apparently real links, where personal information will be solicited. DO NOT not fall victim to their fraudulent attempt to obtain your personal information in this manner.
I expected a spoof email, WHAT DO I DO?
—If you clicked the link or otherwise told information….
• Since that disclosure of personal information has place you at risk of becoming a victim of identity theft, you should immediately go to the Federal Trade Commission’s identity theft website, and follow the directions there for reporting information to credit bureaus, credit-card companies, and law enforcement.
• ALSO file an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (a joint project of the FBI and the Inhabitant White Collar Crime Center).
• Also, exchange passwords as described just not more than.
—If you clicked the link (because just clicking can buy keylogging software or viruses)…
• exchange your password – AND – exchange your secret question and answer
• run a full virus scan of your computer, using updated software, removing all threats
• run a full adware/spyware scan of your computer, using updated software, removing all threats
• reboot your computer
• exchange your password again – AND – exchange your secret question and answer again
—If you did NOT click the link…
• do not respond to the email.
—And in ALL cases above…forward copies of the e-mail or file a complaint with all of the following places. They work to shut down these criminals.
• spoof@ebay.com — eBay, or spoof@paypal.com — PayPal.
• – file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission: file a complaint
• reportphishing@antiphishing.org — Anti-Phishing Working Group, or report phishing AND
• scams@fraudwatchinternational.com — the Fraud Watch International Investigation Team.
Is there a touch I can do to avoid being fooled in the future?
• eBay has started count a duplicate COPY of mail they send to you in your MY MESSAGES section of your MY EBAY. Permanently look there to see if a copy of the email you expected is there.
• NEVER use the within a message you expected in your fixed email account.
• Read how to turn off HTML messages from eBay to help you distinguish between genuine eBay messages and scammer messages.
• eBay recommends that you use their TOOLBAR.
Spoof Email Message Excerpts :
The messages not more than are taken from actual messages expected that appear to be from a legitimate source but are really an attempt to get you to GIVE AWAY your personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank account details, etc.
Use the rest of this page to view some of the ways criminals are attempting to steal your personal information. You may want to use the search feature, as my collection has grown reasonably large. Learn to recognize the many ploys they are using. Perhaps then the light will go on, and you will save yourself a LOT of hassle and perhaps a lot cash, too.
If you find one significantly different than any of these, post it on the Trust & Safety board, I will see it and perhaps add it to this collection. Many thanks to those of you that have done this.
My collection of phishing messages…

When you join the PowerSeller program, you’ll be able to receive more of the support you’ll need for continued success. So, why wait? Join now! [spoof link deleted]” (This particular scam message was extra pun because it was mailed to a seven day ancient account with only a single pointer, and that was from buying.)
• “Due to recent auction fraud, we have issued the following security requirements. It has come to our attion that 95% of all fraudulent auctions are caused by members using stolen credit cards to buy or sell non existant bits and pieces. Thus we require our members to add a Debit/Check card to their billing records as part of our continuing stanchness to protect your account and to reduce the instance of fraud on our website.

Should access to your account remain limited for an extended period of time, it may result in further limitations on the use of your account or may result in eventual account closure.” (To ensure your account has not been compromised, they plot to compromise your account!)
• “Dear eBay Community Member, The bid that you entered for the item (1234567890) has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the link bellow. [spoof link deleted].” (You did not bid on that item, I guarantee it.)

As we state in the User Agreement, Section 8, we may immediately issue a warning, suspend, or terminate your membership … If you feel you have been suspended in error or want to appeal this choice by providing bonus information, please click here: [spoof link removed]” (Hmmm, these used to quote Section 9.)
• “This is your final warning about the safety of your eBay account. If you do not update your billing informations your access on eBay will be restricted and the user deleted. This might be due to either following reasons (bunch of legitimate sounding reasons) Your credit card on file with eBay Card number: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-4322 (Not shown for security purposes) Expiration date: 11/05.

• “I have paid for that item. When it will be shipped ?? To view the item, go to: [spoof link deleted] Thank you, [(fake) biddername deleted]” (The link, when clicked, installs a very all-encompassing keystroke virus – DO NOT CLICK the link AT ALL.

Making Money Online With The eBay Affiliate Program
Saturday, May 15th, 2010You hear about it all the time. A name you know knows a name who is making a living over the internet. You hear about people making some extra spending cash. You also hear about people making thousands of dollars a month.
How do they do it?
Well, there are lots of ways to make cash online. And they don’t involve spamming or any shady techniques.
One way is to make month promoting other people’s harvest or air force for a commission or fee. This is called affiliate marketing.
One of the largest affiliate marketing programs online is run by eBay. eBay pays people a percentage of their earnings for every visitor you send to eBay who buys a touch. They also pay out at least $25 for every new user you get to join eBay.
Many people make excellent cash setting up websites that consist completely of eBay harvest. When a visitor clicks a product on the site, they are directed to eBay. If they buy a touch, the owner of the site gets a commission.
There are many ways to set up an eBay site full of any harvest you want to sell. If you know how to program, you can use eBay’s API or RSS feed to show harvest on your site. But I prefer using and out-of-the-box software like phpBay Pro (which allows you to easily make an eBay site using wordpress blogging software), or BANS (stands for “Build A Niche Store”). Both are relatively low-cost and much simpler to use than the eBay API. I prefer phpBay Pro because it can easily integrate with wordpress to fantastic fantastic sites.
If you are familiar with wordpress, you should be able to get your first eBay site up in a week using phpBay Pro. If you don’t know wordpress and do not want to learn it, you can try BANS, but keep in mind you need to know some basic HTML using BANS.
How much does it cost to get started? The eBay API is free. phpBay Pro for wordpress expenditure about $49. BANS expenditure about $97.
How much can you make? I currently have three sites made with phpBay Pro and I make about $500-$600 a month total from all of them. And every month they earn a small bit more.
Now that you have the information on how to start making some cash online using eBay, give it a shot and see if you can start earning some extra cash!
Phpbay Pro – A Great Way To Make Money On The Ebay Partner Network
Saturday, May 15th, 2010Phpbay Pro is a product which enables you to place eBay auction links into your WordPress sites to build eBay niche stores. It may be utilized as part of the eBay Partner Network (EPN – eBay’s affiliate sales program). It may also be utilized with the Pepperjam, Mediaplex, Tradedoubler and Affilnet affiliate network programs. According to PhpBay Pro’s own site the tool an “extremely powerful php based eBay affiliate script for building niche websites that can generate a steady stream of revenue”. In the end, Phpbay Pro enables you to chose any product on eBay and place links to the auctions in your website based on keywords. And, there is no limit to the number of sites you can make with PhpBay Pro.
PhpBay Pro enables you to take advantage of eBay Partner Network (EPN). There are several methods to earn cash from eBay Partner Network. The first way is with winning auction bids. When a surfer clicks on a link to an eBay auction on a PhpBay Pro site then wins the auction eBay pays out up to half the selling expenditure on the item. If a surfer has never been a member of eBay and becomes a member and wins an auction after clicking on your link you will also be paid by eBay. This combination of sign up fees, also known as ARCU, and winning bid revenue can add up reasonably rapidly to thousands of dollars month in and month out.
Over the last year many of my excellent acquaintances have come to me and questioned if they should buy PhpBay Pro or not. My answer to everybodyin this PhpBay Pro review is YES! I have had brilliant fortune with Phpbay Pro and would strongly recommend the php tool to individuals who want to start a home-based online business. It took me approximately an hour to master PhpBay Pro. Once I figured everything out I could write new websites extremely quick. Consequently, I presently provide for myself reasonably comfortably with several eBay sites that I in print with PhpBay Pro. A further advantage to PhpBay Pro is that the creator offers fantastic customer service and has a informative forum where all your queries are by now answered.
The main advantage to utilizing PhpBay Pro for building eBay niche stores is that it’s a WordPress plugin. WordPress is a free content manager which allows you to build blogs with minimal work experience in website design. WordPress has many of templates that can be utilized in building niche stores with PhpBay Pro. Also, WordPress has many of plugins which can also be utilized on your niche sites. A plugin is a touch you add to a WordPress site to increase its functionality.
Build A Niche Store (BANS) can also be used to make eBay niche store sites. I own both and like PhpBay Pro better. The main reason for this is that PhpBay Pro sites are built using WordPress and the search engines index sites made with WordPress extremely quick. But, I’ve made a ton of sites with BANS and they have not been indexed by the search engines. A further reason why I like PhpBay Pro more than BANS is that you can use any WordPress template that I like.A further reason why I reckon PhpBay Pro is better than BANS is that you can chose any WordPress template you’d like. With BANS, but, you’re stuck using their few templates which all look similar. But, there is one aspect about BANS that is better than PhpBay Pro. BANS does not use WordPress and may be simpler for somebody who has small to no experience working on the Internet. But, I reckon studying WordPress is a key prerequisite for anyone who seeks to be an Internet entrepreneur.

In no time you can have a similar site youself! If you found this article informative kindly drop me a line. Excellent luck with PhpBay Pro and eBay Partner Network.
