I wish you all a new year filled with good health, peace, happiness, success and prosperity. The new year is a good time to reflect and look back on the months gone by and decide how we can do things differently or continue as we were. Many people make resolutions to exercise, get out of debt, lose weight, save money, get a new job and so on. I haven’t made any resolutions but I would just like to make this year better than last year. Last year was a good year, I don’t have any complaints, but I do want to become better physically fit, volunteer and give back, try to eat more organic foods, pay off a few bills, have more fun, laugh more, make more money (so I can help others), have multiple streams of income and just work at being a better person in every aspect of my life. I want to live my best life(as Oprah would say). In a week or two I will sit down and make some goals for my eBay and Amazon business and decide what direction I want to take.

I hope you all have a great year, make it your best!

This is part of a series of blog post that I wrote for my family, friends and anyone who wants to learn how to sell on eBay. For a complete list of the series check out CATEGORIES in the right side bar. You will see “Getting Started on eBay,” 01- What You Need to Get Started through 14 – Common Abbreviations/Acronyms. eBay recently made some changes that will take effect in September and October, I will be updating some of the post to reflect the changes. If you are an experienced eBayer and you see something that needs to be changed, check back in a few days and if it has not been changed please leave a comment. Thanks!

1.      Set goals for your eBay business.

2.      If you are selling Brands always use the Brand name in your title and description.

3.      Include something extra with each item that you sell.  For example, if you sell a cake pan, include a recipe for a delicious cake.

4.      Always include a thank you note and invoice in your package or just write “Thank You” on the invoice that I enclose in the package. Read more »
