Fed Up With eBay?
For many people, their first experience of working online
involves selling products on eBay. This was how I got started
back in 1998 and I know countless other people that have done the
same.
However, it is important to remember that eBay is not the 'be
all and end all' - there is a much bigger online world out there.
My reason for mentioning this is that I have spoken to three
people this week who each make a decent full or part-time income
on eBay but who are fed up with it and looking to move in other
directions.
Having sold on eBay myself, I can understand why sellers do
get tired/bored/frustrated with the auction site - it is highly
competitive and it takes an incredible amount of hard work to
succeed. In addition, it is normally the case that the more
successful you become, the harder you have to work. Listing
auctions, handling customer enquiries, packing, shipping,
sourcing/buying stock, keeping up with feedback, monitoring the
competition - selling on eBay is a tough job and it is no wonder
that after working in this way for a few years, many people wish
they were back in the land of the employed!!
Don't get me wrong, there is good money to be made on eBay for
anyone willing to put the effort in and many people enjoy trading
on this huge auction site. But it isn't for everyone.
Having spoken to numerous eBay sellers in the past, it seems
to me that of the ones that don't enjoy working on eBay, the
particular task that they enjoy the least is the packing and
shipping of products. Funnily enough, this is exactly the bit of
trading that I grew to dislike too.
I (and the sellers I have spoken to) didn't have a problem
with creating sales descriptions, dealing with emails, collecting
payment (naturally!) and the other administrative tasks involved
in running an online business. But wrapping things up and taking
them to the post office is something completely different and for
me and many others that's where it all started to fall apart
:-)
As I said at the beginning of this article, if you are getting
fed up of doing the eBay 'thing' or if you just don't fancy the
idea to start with, there is a wealth of alternative
opportunities available online. My own solution was to get rid of
the one aspect of eBay trading that I didn't enjoy - the packing
and shipping - and start to produce and sell digital products
which could be delivered to the customer automatically. I still
have to write sales pages and build websites, I still have to
deal with emails etc but I don't have to handle any physical
products (neither do I have to deal with payment collection
because that too can be handled automatically by software).
Of course my products are very relevant to eBay sellers and
indeed, there are numerous individuals and companies out there
that have made a fortune off the back of eBay without ever having
sold a single product on the auction site. I am sure that there
are numerous other problems that eBay users have that could be
solved with a new piece of software or a particular service and
if the idea takes off, there are 135 million registered users on
eBay to market to!
eBay provides a wonderful opportunity for hundreds of
thousands of people but it isn't for everyone and if you find
yourself frustrated/bored with the same old routine everyday,
start to look for something outside of the eBay world.
