Hi...new to the forum
Hi everyone,
Little background. I had a 6 year old ebay account and paypal account that I used maybe once or twice per year for an occasional purchase. Really never even liked or shopped on ebay for online purchases.
I then read a post on a business forum that a guy was looking for someone with an ebay account and PP account to sell software products. It seemed like easy money, so I did it. I was selling about 15 items per day for this guy, I was making only a small % of each sale.
Never had a problem with ebay selling these items. So after awhile, I thought I'd venture off and try my luck at it. I found a few suppliers selling software and virtual products and did about $9k in sales in 30 days. I didn't know to go slow, mix things up, vero vs. nonvero, virtual products, etc. I just went full steam ahead and listed and sold fast, hard and heavy!
Looking back, after receiving my first copyright violation on a particular piece of software, I realized now that everything I was selling was indeed ⊗⊗⊗⊗. So, they removed all those listings, but kept all the other ⊗⊗⊗⊗ items that I had listed.
The virtual items were selling like hotcakes until my supplier had a problem with providing ones that worked properly. Customer complaints started coming in left and right, I was refunding as fast as I could. To sum it all up....they finally canned me and froze my PP account for 6 months.
Anyway, I've been reading here everyday for hours. Learned A LOT! Wish I would have found this forum earlier.
I now have been bitten by the ebay selling bug and anxious to get started again.
Nice to meet everyone. |
