You've have to know how to find games to sell though. Surprisingly you can find plenty of used games to sell on ebay itself. Check out my blog <a href="http://elancep-bloganything.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ebay Video Game Selling Tips</a> I have a few articles about how to indentify wholesale lots on ebay that are actually worth buying and reselling and also how to start building a list of collectible games.

First of all I do understand there are many sellers on eBay who are dishonest, but I do not think alot of people shopping on eBay realize how difficult it is to sell and to keep your ratings high. I have about 1500 listings going at a time, if not more, and it is a 9-6 job for me. I put out so much product that no it is not always sent out the day that you pay for it and many people want it to be. It is clearly stated what the prices are, what shipping time is, and where you can contact me with any questions or concerns. I answer messages all day M-F the hours that I mentioned, I take extra pictures, give extra information, give deals, inform customers if their item is in no condition to ship or has been misplaced promptly AND still have customers give me negatives and low DSRs. Us sellers will always mess up somewhere, we just hope it is not with the wrong person. I do think there are sellers who give all sellers a bad name, leaving ebay and their customers just as fast as they got on, but the sellers who are honest in their listings and message their customers back should not be penalized because of the bad eggs! I would just like all eBay customers to remember to communicate with your seller to allow them to provide you with the best customer service they can. Do not put it all on the seller, and the seller should not put it all on the buyer. I will leave you all with this: 3 to eBay does NOT mean average, 4 does NOT mean satisfactory!!

]]> Comment on eBay Drop Shipping: a viable way to make money on eBay ? by Jan http://blog.missing-auctions.com/selling/ebay-drop-shipping-viable-way-to-make-money-on-ebay/comment-page-1/#comment-809 Jan Fri, 04 Feb 2011 23:15:20 +0000 http://blog.missing-auctions.com/?p=131#comment-809 @Rick You probably have realized it by now, but FREE SHIPPING on eBay automatically gets you a 5 star rating on S&H. In addition 1 day shipping does the same for SHIP TIME if you print your labels through eBay. eBay is still a huge marketplace and a good place to start selling whether you drop ship or sell your own things or consign for others. I use 3 different eBay accounts for (1) my store where everything is new and fixed price and business purchases, (2) auction style listings and (3) personal shopping. It has worked well for me, and I'm just getting into Amazon. @Rick

I think if we do it right, this turn key service will help people make money on stuff they don't use or want. I think people are afraid or uncomfortable with the process of starting up and maintaining a eBay Business. I just started the full ebay selling services and selling my own stuff for years.
