Make Your Net Auction Sell!
5.2. Contact the Seller
What if you have questions that aren’t answered by the item description?
Always contact the seller if you don’t totally understand what you are getting
into. Whenever you see an item for sale, you will also see a phrase that says
“ask seller a question.”
It is the buyer’s responsibility to be very clear.
What if your bid wins an item and you discover that it’s something you don’t
like? Unfortunately, you didn’t ask any questions before you bid so it’s tough
luck. You didn’t do your homework and now you have to live with the
consequences.
The point of this chapter is to understand the buyer’s experience, not to just get
you to spend some money. Find a low-priced item to buy so that it doesn’t cost
you much for your “education.”
The important point here is to analyze the buying process to see what you
need to do in order to be an effective seller.
Review of all the categories on a general site, like eBay, unless you already
are passionate about something and plan to specialize in this. It won’t take
that long because you will be able to dismiss most of the categories without
even thinking about it.
Don’t spend hours doing this. Just take a quick survey. Keep an open mind.
If you take the time to do this exercise, you will know more about successful
selling than most people who have been auctioning for years. Most people
don’t bother with this step. They just use the “hit-and-miss” method.
Most people fail in any business because they don’t plan adequately. Build a
foundation that is solid. A hit-and-miss approach leaves cracks that in time
weaken your business. Take the time now to do the necessary prep work. And
then there will be nothing to repair later on. Ken Evoy ( SiteSell.com ) often
quotes Benjamin Franklin... “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
Now let’s bid on your first item. It’s the best way to learn how to be a competent
super-achieving seller and make the kind of profit margins your heart desires...
