Manual by Your Trusted American Powerseller
I apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been pretty busy with other projects and life in general ;).
Excuse the title of this post. I couldn’t think of another title because the seller didn’t give his manual a title.
I got this manual many days after I received the “ebook” versions of the other manuals I got from sellers on Ebay. But I’m only now just getting around to reading it. I’m quite surprised because the seller, Your Trusted American Powerseller, didn’t offer an ebook download to go along with his physical manual like the other sellers. And when I received the manual, it was several pages stapled together and folded in half. Old-fashioned but ok.
At first glance, the manual looks very easy to read. There are no excessive white spaces and no unnecessary photos of extravagant material items. The seller briefly touches on himself and how he started his business. But he admits that this is not a manual to discuss the basics of how to use Ebay or Paypal which is fine by me since I’ve been a user of both for a number of years.
The seller wastes no time getting into the meat and potatoes. He first lists off a great list of online places to visit to source items that you can sell on Ebay. He points out which ones are his favorite and also tips you off to be careful about fakes and knockoffs. I must admit that I had never heard of most of the places he listed and I will definitely check them out. He’s very big on selling actual physical products and I think I will do the same as I had good luck going down that route in the past.
The seller goes on to discuss other sources that you can visit for possible items to sell. I’ve already thought about going to those places but I’m sure others would find this information very useful.
Next he talks abut places where he thinks you can get the cheapest shipping supplies. Then he points out 2 actual ebay sellers that sell cheap shipping supplies also. This is something that I’ve never seen an ebay seller do. I think it’s cool that he’s helping to bring more customers to other sellers.
The seller then talks about free and cheap online sources that can help you sell your items on Ebay. When I first started selling on Ebay, I used their built-in interface. Then later I ventured off to other 3rd party sites such as Vendio and Andale. But I’m currently using Auctiva because it’s free and easy to use.
The seller then talks about the Ebay VeRO program. I heard about it briefly from an Ebay seller who makes and sells custom labels and also boasts that he is in the VeRO program and will be able to legally remove any other listings from sellers who try to sell labels similar to his. I guess some people abuse the program and try to scare other sellers with it.
My recommendation: This is a great manual for the newbie and intermediate sellers. Even though I don’t consider myself a virgin Ebay seller, I learned some awesome useful tips. You won’t find any fluff here.
