How to Prepare for Selling Around the Holidays

Some of the best information about how to sell on eBay is available from eBay itself, including live online chat-style workshops.  If you can't attend live, never fear.  Transcripts of the sessions are archived for you to read and study anytime.  One such recent workshop was called "Holiday Sales 2010: Tips & Prep for a Successful Selling Season."  If you missed it but want to take advantage of the selling season that occurs on both sides of Christmas, you'll definitely want to click here and read through the session for some great information you can use. 

The workshop was presented by Lisa Suttora, an eBay expert who definitely knows her topic well.  A few highlights from the workshop include:

• What events and holidays are included in the selling season (some you probably haven't thought of)
• What inventory you should promote in your store
• How to decorate your store for the holiday shopping season
• Why "Top Lists" are important
• Ideas for promotions

If you enjoy the workshop and would like more information from Lisa, you'll find some helpful books and DVD's from Lisa Suttora here.  It's not too early to get started with preparations for selling around the holidays.  In fact, savvy sellers have been gearing up for weeks, so get started with your holiday sales preparation by studying these terrific tips right away!

P.S.  Most of the tips presented in the workshop can be applied to other online sales businesses as well as to eBay, so don't skip this valuable resource no matter where you sell online.

EBay Marketing on Facebook and Twitter

I'm so excited! My friend Beth Cherkowsky of AntiqueDaze has agreed to guest post for us today.  Beth has been selling on eBay and at Amazon.com for 13 years and really knows a thing or two about social networking.  Today Beth teaches us about marketing our eBay items on Twitter and Facebook.  Pay attention; there's a quiz at the end.

So you heard that you should market your eBay items on Facebook and/or Twitter and get more sales?  How?  I don't mean the "ethics" or advisability of it but HOW? the practical, functional question..how do I get it from there (eBay) over here (Facebook)? Well follow along with me...here is one of my items - see the spot I circled?? That's a handy dandy eBay application that if you click on it, WALA it does almost all the work for you.* 

  (*follow after the jump)

So  you click and you get three options - EMAIL TO A FRIEND, SHARE ON FACEBOOK< SHARE ON TWITTER...

Here's what happens when you pick SHARE ON FACEBOOK

Write a scintillating comment or at least a little "blurb" about this item or at least the category of item (such as "I love Rolypolys but I really like ALL the Harmony Kingdom items' or "this is a vintage rock made in Albania in 1742".  Not just "look at my rock".

I'd show you how to share on Twitter but the FailWhale is sitting on everything over there so I can't right now.

Now there are some rules in polite society and there are here too.  Ms Manners is busy but here are mine - 

1. I only do one or the other for any particular item - Facebook or Twitter - not both.  In part, that is because I had my twitterfeed going to Facebook for a while.  But also because the demographics are different so I try to send stuff where I "think" it will be viewed by the folks, who are most likely  to "want" it. (someday I'll be smart enough to explain that statement but today is not looking good)

2. Do Not sit there and click on every item in your eBay store which has 5000 items.   I will unfriend or unfollow you so fast you won't know what hit you. And so will most other "HUMANS".  I didn't follow/friend you to be spammed.  But I'll tolerate it occasionally.

3. If I have a category that has say 113 items in it, I sort the MYEBAY page by that store category and then copy that url.  I  use Tiny URL or  BudURL or another "Shortener" (Hootsuite.com has a built-in one) to shorten the link and I'll send a link to the whole category so folks can see for themselves what's interesting.  I do not have the patience to tweet 113 things or to put up with anyone else doing that to me either. 

4. if you want people to share or retweet your item, keep YOUR tweet or your "blurb" short.  Twitter allows 140 characters. If you use 139 HOW do you expect me to retweet it??
So 

     4A) use "texting" spelling here - GR8 - 4 U - 2 U-  C U THERE~

           and should be &,  tonight can be 2nite or tonite  for is 4...and four is 4  SHORT and sweet as my mother used to tell me..

     4B) leave me a minimum of 15 spaces to retweet (rt @........) otherwise I'm not gonna do it

      4C) In general on Twitter? LOSE THE PUNCTUATION and the obsession with periods.  Leave a space at the end of your thought, it's  enough.

See you on Twitter or Facebook

Did I tell you that Beth knows her stuff? That's the quiz and the correct answer is a resounding "Yes!" Be sure to follow her on Twitter and "like" her page on Facebook at the links above. Thanks again, Beth, for sharing these great tips with us!

I don't know if you notice that this list has a lot of unusual items that can turn into a nice online venture, also i found many old school products that are still on demand, like the USB floppy disk drives. This is a computer accessory that someone with many floppy disks like me would be looking for :o). I know, we got a little stock in the floppies because these little things were easy to use compare to CD burning... Now the only things that are that easy are flash drives and portable hard drives. CD and DVDs suck before and still suck today!...

As you can see there are many gold-mines hidden inside people's needs, you just need to learn how to spot them at the right time to gain marketing momentum.

VHS Video Tapes

My friend Brenda, expert eBay seller and movie reviewer, has graciously provided this guest post. Thank you, Brenda, for sharing your expertise!

"Where can I sell my used video tapes?" is a question I read frequently online. People have invested their money in a collection of movies that they want to part with now because they have moved on to DVD. It is hard telling them that there is no market for videotapes.

That is, there is no market for most videotapes. There is a market for some VHS video tapes, and a quick peek at recent eBay statistics revealed these interesting sales:

• A copy of Good-bye, My Lady with Sidney Poitier and Walter Brennan sold for $97.97 plus shipping.

• A copy of Alice Cooper’s The Nightmare (not The Nightmare Returns) sold for $81.49 plus shipping.

• A copy of A Time To Live starring Corey Haim and Liza Minnelli sold for $66.00 plus shipping.

• Welcome to Pooh Corner tapes sold for between $32 and $100 plus shipping or an average price of $52.55 plus shipping.

If you want to sell VHS video tapes, you will have to be careful because you are right, the bulk of video cassettes are worth nothing…not even fifty cents at a garage sale. My quick peek revealed not only those tapes shown above that sold for a good price but also listing after listing of VHS tapes that are not sold, and probably never will be.

The most important rule of thumb is that once a video is on DVD the videotape is no longer of interest to anyone. The tapes listed above all have that in common. NONE of them have ever been issued on DVD.

If you are a seller, you will have to decide how you will guarantee used videotapes. All of my videos are tested and fully guaranteed. I would not buy anything on eBay that is not fully guaranteed so neither would I sell anything without guaranteeing it and yes, there is a fair bit of risk with a used videotape. However, I am sure that this guarantee makes it easier for someone to spend what is a significant amount of money on a used videotape.

If you are a buyer (and even if you are a seller), I recommend you read my page Rare VHS Tapes ~~ A Collector's Guide to Videotapes, which will give you more to think about if you are buying tapes as well as guidelines on how to properly care for and preserve the tapes you already own.

There is the chance, I suppose, that some of those tapes listed above could be issued on DVD. If that happens, it will instantly render the VHS tape valueless, which is exactly what happened with Barbra Streisand's Yentl now that the DVD is available. However, it is also quite possible that these movies will NEVER be released on DVD or any other format.

In 2009, Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle reported that only 50 percent of films that were on VHS have been transferred to DVD. That leaves a large number of movies only available on videotape...the challenge for eBay sellers is in identifying the valuable ones.
