 Re: Selling car parts on ebay
A lot of people have their car model preset in their Ebay settings, which gives messages such as "this part fits with your 1988 Volkswagen Golf GTI"
Optimize your listings for the car models that way. If you have one part that fits 30 different models, make one listing for each model, or 10 listings for 3 models each etc.
Find an automated way of putting up the listings, or outsource the listing insertion. Build up your ebay limits quickly and get an ebay Premium or anchor store as soon as your limits makes it profitable. An anchor store gets you 10K listings at a cost of 300 bucks (or so) per month. Think big. And as long as your prices are reasonable, and you have figured out how to tweak a listing to make good sales, the world is your oyster. If you have 1K - 10K listings up there, "they" (the symbolic customers) will come in enough numbers to make it all worthwhile.
Then you just need to make the customers happy and pray that your back office is up to the task of actually getting the products out there with accuracy and speed and keeping track of inventory. Otherwise it all turns into a house of cards very quickly and you will spend all your days doing expectation management for angry customers.
Good luck.
