各位EBAY老大帮助指点迷津。

S-LED · Apr 15th, 2007, 09:56

Before I can "指点迷津", can you answer these questions:
Have you done your homework?
What marketing research have you done?
Do you know who are your competitors?
What do they sell?
How do they sell?
How well do they sell?
Do you know yourself?

Use "wood comb", don't use "wooden comb"
If you search ebay for "wood comb" and narrow down to "Completed listings", you will see the ended listings. Your s/h is too high. Ebay will end your listing if there is any complaint.

我选的产品在国内是比较火的，主要是桃木，有部分是梨木，从梳子，发簪，项链到壁挂烟缸都有，全部手工制作，设计雕刻都不错（有点像在做广告）

Why don't you put these features on your listing description? This is what makes your products stand out.

也别光听泄气话。

真打算做的话，一开始总要赔本赚点吆喝的。给自己定个赔的上限，至少坚持到那个时候。

说的不错。你老兄不像新手嘛。

再说两句：
花相当的时间研究市场，然后作好自己的定位。知己知彼，杀出血路。
既然你有工艺品的货源，干脆就定位平价质高工艺品。做多几个系列。
产品描述要强调“手工”，“自然”，“唯一”，“独特”，“历史”，“原*".
降低运费.
建立feedbacks,杀出血路.

No sales tax should be collected selling to the US.
For Canadian buyers, please see my other posts.
Basically you don't charge any sales tax if don't have GST/PST number.

再次感谢。稳赚不赔的生意就是政府了。
大家销售什么，可以互通有无么。

Sold for 0.99+1.99 shipping, you are going to lose money on these deals for sure.
Listing fee, Final fee, paypal fee, shipping supplies, postage, gas to the post office...
Let alone getting paid for Time and effort....

这些省钱的小花招eBay好象不让使，被发现的话list弄不好被取消，客户得到通知摸不着头脑

Uploading a picture of your auction item for use on eBay is easy when you use WS_FTP Home. For many, the FTP process is new. It is with this understanding we've created an on-line reference guide specifically for eBay users.

Step 1. Download WS_FTP Home - It's fast and easy!
One more thing: use this FTP instead, it is FREE http://www.coreftp.com/

Step 2 . Finding web space - To upload a picture for use with eBay you need to secure storage space on the Internet. eBay is not a repository for these files (you don't actually "upload" your image files to eBay).

Step 3 . Converting your picture into a computer file - There are multiple ways to achieve this task. Choose the method that's right for you.

Step 4 . Uploading your image to the Internet - You've followed all of the above steps and are now ready to use WS_FTP to upload your image to the web space you have secured.

Step 5 . Fill out the eBay registration form - Don't forget, eBay needs to know the location (URL) of your image file so they can post it on their web site.

One more thing: use this FTP instead, it is FREE

How great is that

I use 1and1.com , it is not free. If you want a free image hosting, you have to read their TOS. Be carefull when people offer you free lunch.
