AMAZON?

including your eBay and Amazon stores. It works!
LEARN TO "WEAVE WITH BLOGS"
My name is Sally Olson and I am the author of "Weaving With Blogs".
I've been selling on eBay for 5 years. As a Powerseller, after an
unbelievable string of eBay platform changes, I have to list almost
twice the items to make the same amount of money I did last year..
I started selling on Amazon.com and it helped - a little. But, I
wanted a way to work the same number of hours as I did last year and
make double or triple the income.
"Weaving With Blogs" gives you everything you need to do just that.
It's easy. It's fast. IT'S FUN! And, it works.

HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING ON EBAY JUST TO KEEP UP WITH LAST
YEARS SALES. SOUND FAMILIAR?
1. Last year you listed 40 items and made $200 profit. This year you
have to list 60 items to make $180 profit.
2. Your eBay Newsletter list had 40 people. 12 months later it has
50.
3. You package coupons in with whatever you are shipping - trying
to get more customers to come back and buy more. 1 out of 100 respond
to the coupon.
4. In order to get a higher ranking on eBay's "Best Match" search,
you offer FREE Shipping. You add the shipping into the price of your
products. Your final value fees increase, your profit decreases, and
your DSR's for shipping costs DO NOT improve - even with fast 24 hr
shipping that is FREE.

DON'T YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU SET THE RULES FOR YOU ON YOUR
PLATFORM AND THEN "WEAVE" THEM TOGETHER INTO ONE GIANT SALES MACHINE?

EBAY SELLERS TRY OUT ALTERNATIVE SHOPPING SITES
POSTED BY KELLY SPORS
We've covered all the eBay seller complaints [2], and how some
recent changes [3] in eBay's fee structure and credit-card payment
requirements are sure to make sellers even more disgruntled. But what
are the alternatives?
A recent WSJ story [4] mentioned that some irked eBay [5] sellers
are turning to more niche sites like Etsy.com [6], Silkfair.com [7] or
Oodle.com [8]. Others are heading to Amazon.com's [9] Marketplace.
Sellers feel these sites offer more customization of their listings
and a better seller experience. An extra bonus: They don't have to
deal with eBay's ever-changing policies.
But there are risks to ditching eBay, the story notes. EBay still
has a critical mass of online shoppers and offers more buyer
protections than many other shopping sites.
EBay sellers: Have you looked at other online sales channels? Which
ones do you like, and which pale in comparison?
COMMENTS
I was an eBay gold-power seller for years -- selling fine art from
estates of artists' heirs. When ebay began raising their fees, with
big fees for reserves, I kept plugging, although the choice was to
reserve low (with a low fee, and risk a low price) or reserve
high(with ebay's high fee and risk that the item would not sell, and
eBay would just keep its fee, and my consignor would get nothing but
my bill). I finally gave up. NOW I DON'T SELL ON EBAY OR ANY OTHER
SITE, (BUT FOR MY WEBSITE), USING A CUSTOMER LIST THAT I GATHERED FROM
YEARS OF SELLING ON EBAY.Ebay almost fines its sellers, and they lost
me. They do not have a "level playing field" as they advertise.
COMMENT BY LYN - AUGUST 28, 2008
A survey of eBay sellers in August showed that 63 percent of
respondents were multi-channel sellers, and 26 percent were actively
selling Amazon.com.
AuctionBytes has been publishing newsletters for small online
sellers since 1999, and last week, it launched a directory of
merchants at EveryPlaceISell.com [10] for sellers to showcase all the
venues on which they sell. The directory is our response to the
undeniable trend of multi-channel selling we are seeing even among
very small sellers.

COMMENT BY INA STEINER - AUGUST 28, 2008
I sold on ebay for 2 years and from day 1 they raised their prices
for the sellers.....They took the fair playing field away from sellers
........We moved to Blujay.com and the the place is 100% free and
growing fast.They provide Google and paypal checkouts and there are
several hundred stores with about anything under the sun to buy.The
forums are the friendliest you will find on the internet and everyone
works together to promote and make the sales happen.This isn't just my
opinion,ask anyone at blujay.com
Comment by Melvin - August 28, 2008
I am a bookseller and I sell only book in lots. Its hard for me to
find a site where I can sell my books other than ebay. I am actively
looking to quit selling on ebay as soon as the new changes go in
effect (Mid-October). I have many buyers who pay with money-order or
cashiers check. The change with the shipping rate for books will kill
me. If anyone can recommend a site to me that is successful with
selling books in lots, please post it. Amazon only lets me list one
book at a time.
I've been on ebay for 5 years and was very successful, but with all
these changes, it is time for me to move on....
COMMENT BY RUTH - AUGUST 28, 2008
During our experience selling online, ebay and Amazon are still the
only multi-seller sites worth selling on. In order to sell on most
"alternative" sites you have to spend as much or even more money and
time finding and marketing to customers, as you would spend on ebay,
while actual sales generated usually represent an incredibly small
return on the investment. Experienced business people don't have time
for testing a dozens of tiny start up sites. THEY WANT CUSTOMERS. FOR
THE BUSINESS WHO STARTED ON EBAY BUT OUTGREW IT, OR FOR PEOPLE WHO
EBAY HAS SHED, THE ONLY REAL ALTERNATIVE IS YOUR OWN WEBSITE.
COMMENT BY TUFFY RICKABAUGH - AUGUST 29, 2008
READ WHAT MY "BETA" TESTERS ARE SAYING:
I am spending so much time listing my items on eBay and then
watching my sales drop. This is exactly the solution I am looking for.
MY OWN PLATFORM. I just got started and already have a gorgeous blog.
WATCH OUT WORLD - HERE I COME.
JESSIE M., EBAY AND AMAZON SELLER
Thank you Sally. I am not some computer whiz and this has worked for
me. I already have subscribers to my blog articles and it's only been
1 month. I sell sports collectibles and this program is just what the
doctor ordered. I have already written 2 posts. My goal is to get
1,000 newsletter sign ups in 1 year. This is worth my time. By the
way, my eBay sales (which I talk about in my newsletter) just went up
and I am listing the same number of items for sale. This system works!
JACOB LITZ, EBAY SELLER
What an easy way to get a quick website to sell my items. I sold for
3 years on eBay and I now have twice the traffic on my website this
week than on my eBay store. I am collecting a customer base and
selling more without having to try out 4 or 5 other sites.
DELBERT COLLINAS, EBAY SELLER
This is just perfect, it is an excellent program. With the cost of
three kids in College, I was selling on Ebay and really didn't know
much more about the computer, other than the basics. Sally has one of
the best ways of teaching someone with an easy to follow program. She
is so knowledgeable and know's exactly how to break it down to even a
beginner. While you are following it, if you have a question, it's
almost like she's right there with you and answers the question before
you can ask it. I have not found anyone out there that teach's better
then she does. I am really excited! Robyn, eBay seller
