Everyone, please welcome Suzanne Wells!!!

Suzanne is our new eBay guru here at the b5media network. She will be blogging about the eBay life over at E-Shop Owner and giving excellent tips on the eBay seller’s life. Suzanne works from home and has been in business for herself for quite some time. I don’t know if you saw it, but I did this interview with her last month.

Suzanne is a pretty cool business woman and manages several verticals of her entrepreneurial empire. Go on over and visit her. For any of you who are thinking about doing the eBay thing, she’s definitely the go-to person. I thought about it for a while once, but was really only interested in it to see if I could find some designer handbags at stealer prices.

Welcome to b5 Suzanne. Biz Chicks Rule…again!!

eBay selling is a home business that most anyone can do regardless of if she has another business, has a full time job, has children or not, is in between jobs, or is retired. eBay selling does not require special training, a college degree, complicated equipment, the purchase of a start-up kit, or an advertising budget. eBay can be used by most anyone to develop another income stream for the household. Moms love eBay selling because their kids are constantly outgrowing clothes and toys, and eBay gives them a way to recover some of the expense of those items – as well as invest in new clothes and toys for rapidly growing kids. Selling on eBay is no different that having a garage sale; it just takes a little research and planning. The benefits are far greater than having a garage sale for the following reasons:

1. Sales can occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of weather conditions.

2. Your customer base grows to 240 million rather than a few dozen.

3. You can list and sell items at your own pace on your own schedule: you don’t have to drag everything out into your driveway in one day, commit to a time schedule, or place expensive ads.

4. You can reach collectors of unique items anywhere in the world.

5. You can sell every day, seasonally, or when your schedule allows.

Most everyone has items in their homes that can be sold on eBay for a profit. The problem is that many people are not aware of what they can sell, what items are profitable, or they are intimidated by the eBay process in general. I enjoy helping people overcome both of those obstacles by learning how to make money selling on eBay either part-time or full-time. Selling on eBay is convenient, relatively easy, safe, fun, and addicting!

All you need to get started selling on eBay is an eBay account (which is free), a digital camera, and items to sell. Start by taking the eBay Audio Tour – a short tutorial on eBay.com that explains everything about selling your item. Then, take the eBay Coach’s Free Crash Course on eBay Selling.

I will be the first to admit that you will not become a millionaire selling on eBay. However, eBay is a viable option for a work at home moms, those wanting a second income, or anyone who enjoys scouring thrift stores and garage sales for treasures to resell.
