I've noticed, even through inexpensive one dollar starting items, that eBay auctions over the past year are harder to sell or make a profit with less of a multitude of bidders. I remember the days several years ago,  ChipsXP could place a brand new computer on auction for ninety nine cents and come out out with several hundred dollar end of auction price tag. There was such a huge multitude of bidders, that you knew the sale will end good. Now, the bidders are new or new name due to paypal problems, and some don't even pay when auction is won.

ChipsXP for the past year has completed a 37% sale through of all listed auctions, and in some weeks, up to past 60% sale completion of auctions. Some blogs like Activa's Education Blog stating Why 60% of eBay Auctions Don't End in Sales state that's a good sales percentage. Except one thing, I'm not selling used items that can be multiplied twice or divided by point thirty for retail sale. These are new items, new designs, and new technology, and yet I can't barely make a ten percent profit after all is totaled and paid for. Please don't say that I'm not  doing right, while everyone here knows they can pickup what other people call wholesale at their local sheriff's office or county clerk a pallet of items for a few hundred dollars and call it wholesale. And don't forget the overstock surplus things, it's all irregular and out of shape, but it has the brand names on it. They're all over East Tennessee and at certain tourist locations, easy profits for the unknowing.

With the ever increasing eBay Auction fees and final eBay sale fees, ChipsXP eBay Auction Store has now decided to join eBay's online store program. Overall, its cheaper by half and easier than setting up an auction of all your items. Each auction listing cost more than placing a buy now item on your store, thus its only a nickel compared to fifteen cents. And even with the $15.95 monthly price, it will still cut your account pricing by half with just twenty items or thousand dollars worth of items. Remember, you can post more that just one quantity of an item, so the value goes up even more with multiple purchase of only one item! So, here's the main points of higher profits for starting an eBay store:

1. Marketing tools to promote your store such as email marketing and newsletter subscriptions
   
2. Start with final low priced, buy now items and save money on final sale fees compared to auction listings
   
3. Custom Invoices and autoresponders for sale finals
   
4. Easy to setup with your own company logos to give an awareness of your brand
   
5. Listings last for thirty days and with more than one stock quantity
   

 I used the online eBay store a long time ago (seven years ago) and believed that it was really unimportant at the time. Boy, was I wrong! Now, I use the online store to gain customer awareness and save money on the new items of Computer Upgrades Sterling Silver . You should try it too or gain more information about eBay Stores at What's an eBay Store?

Just a couple of years ago, many laptops notebook PCs were sold with 60gb hard drives. Least expensive models back then were defintely great deals, but after a couple of years of use the hard drive storage seems to have shorten. Whether it's games, business files, or execution files, they are very important to you and your business. They must be kept just in case something happens unexpectantly. Although, the hard drive space is ever decreasing, what to do?

Most Laptop Notebook Hard drives can be swapped out by as most three screws holding it in place. Remove the original hard drive carefully according to owner's manual, wrap in an electrostatic discharged bag (ESD), and safely place in your secure space of home. The new Samsung 120G 8MB 2.5" IDE Mobile Laptop Notebook HDD can be inserted to the holding bay and wala!...instant upgrade. Use you restoration disks to restore to normal operation and that's it!

Now, don't forget the original hard drive, it still has all your original software installations and saves, but can be place back into the holding bay for reuse. If you need to, upload all your special installation and save files to a free and unlimited Yahoo! (Yahoo.com) email account and then download all your special software back into the new Samsung 120G 8MB 2.5" IDE Mobile Laptop Notebook HDD upgraded hard drive.
