"U Can't Use Up Creativity The More U Use The More U Have" Maya Angelou

Would This Work For You?

I'm Online For Only A Minute. I'm New To Ebay And Still Figuring All Of This Out And What I Can Constructively Sell. I'm Trying To Make Money Without Physical Out Of Pocket Costs But I'm An Affiliate/Rep For Many Online Companies. What Would Work Here? Wonder If I Can Do It. Also Trying To Decide If I Want To Do A Cross Promo Between My Email Center And Between My Main Site SimplyAdored.com And Don't Know! My Receives Hundreds Of Visitors A Day Which Means That Visitor Websites Do Get Seen On Mine. I Sell Ads And Some Bath Body & Home/Garden Items But I'm Trying To Close Those Sales And Quit Selling Those There. I Paid Money Out Of My Pocket To Purchase Those Items That Aren't Selling There But I Think Its Because That Site Isn't An Integral Part Of A Community Like Ebay Is And Just Have So Much Else On My Plate That I Just Don't Want To Put Too Much Work Into It. So I'm Thinking Of Selling Ad Space Here For There And Ad Space From There For Here For Really Cheap. I've Been Wondering If I'm Charging Too Much And That's Why The Ad Space Isn't Selling? As For The Products - I've Seen Lower Quality Products That Are Twice As Much Sell Elsewhere. And I Wonder What Gives? What The Heck?? Do People Just Like To Pay More Thinking "If Its More Expensive Its Higher Quality" I Wonder If It Would Help To Lower My Prices. Maybe I Should Re-adjust It Today. My Big Wish And Part Of The Reason I'm So Disgruntled About Not Making Sales  Is That I'm Trying To Earn Money Via My PayPal Account(And What I Really Wanted For Mothers Day But Am Not Getting In Time) Is To Turn One Of My Other Unused Domains Into A Traffic Exchange. I'm Going Through A Company That Will Charge Me Only $47.99 For It And I Already Have The Domain So No Extra Fees. But I Have All My Hosting Fees For My Other Sites Due In The Next Few Weeks Too So I've Already Gotta Pay For That Out Of My Pocket. Arrgh! So Help? Any Advice Folks? If I Sold Ad Space Here Starting Bid At Like $3 Monthly/$10 Yearly To Cover ebay & Seller Fees, Would You Buy Ads On My Main Site SimplyAdored.com And If I Sold Ad Space For my Ebay About Me Page At The Same Rate? Go Check Out My Site And Let Me Know. I'd Love Some Advice And To Know What I'm Doing Wrong. I'm Getting Absolutely No Feedback From My Site Visitors, No Emails, Guestbook Entries, No Sales. Its Quite Disturbing To Me Why Not And I Know I Shouldn't, But Take That Personally Because I Put A Lot Of Hard Work Into It And My Site Is Beautiful - Maybe That's It - Too Intimidating? Whoah, The Last Thing I Want To Be Because Then People Think I'm Not Personable And Hard To Work With And Nothing Could Be Further From The Truth - People Always Get Far More Than They Pay For When They Do Buy Ads Because I Truly Love Helping Others And When I Can Make A Living At That Too Its Great. Let Me Know What You Think.

morning! welcome!
well, i have the same advice for all new ebayers.
get fb! it helps!
customers are really hesitant to buy anything from someone with zero fb, because they cant see if others have had a positive experience....
if you buy a couple small items, pay fast, and get good fb, that might help ya.
I started out as a buyer, bought a few things for my wedding, and customers seemed more trusting of me because there were other sellers out there who let them know that i was honest, and that i had good communication and i was nice.
just a tidbit of help there for ya!!!

fb? Must Be Feedback. Okay. I Do That With My Own Site Too - Maintain A Good Rapport. I Don't Want To Work With A Big Bulk Of People And Be Impersonal With Them Because I Have Too Many Customers And Don't Have Time To Follow Through With Them All Because There Are Too Many. I Always Follow Up And Make Sure That They're Getting Great Response With The Service I Provided.
