BEFORE YOU SELL
BOOKMARK THIS SITE NOW!!!
DO THESE FIRST!!!
STEP 1:
Pick a USER NAME
Your user name is the name that people will remember both you and your business by. In most auction sites Buyers can actually look for you with this name. It is important to remember these tips:
NO URLS
You can't use the word EBAY (That's reserved for their workers)
BE NICE (You want them to like you!)
No spaces and avoid weird spellings
KEEP IT SIMPLE SO THEY CAN FIND YOU
Step 2:
GET A NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS:
They offer lots of FREE room and you can access their services from any computer anywhere. I like to have a separate e-mail account just for my auctions so if something goes wrong you can just switch instead of having to notify all of the relatives! SUGGESTION: USE THE SAME NAME YOU PLAN TO USE FOR YOUR USER NAME ON THE AUCTIONS
Step 3:
JOIN PAYPAL:
This is a BIGGIE and your going to need it later. Have a credit card and bank account number ready. This service is THE Internet source for auction trading. It is owned by Ebay and the way MOST people pay for auctions.
BY THE WAY ITS FREE AND IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A BUSINESS ACCOUNT YOU CAN GET AN ATM CARD FOR INSTANT ACCESS TO YOUR FUNDS. PLUS THEY WILL INVOICE FOR YOU WHICH WILL SAVE YOU LOTS OF TIME LATER!!
Okay these next two are personal preference but learn from my mistakes these are GOOD ideas:
Step 4:
GET A PREPAID CREDIT CARD:
You can buy these at most corner stores. They run about $9.99 and it costs around $3 every time you load more money on BUT Trust me it's a lot cheaper to replace than your identity!!
Step 5:
DEDICATE A BANK ACCOUNT TO YOUR AUCTIONS:
This simplifies bookkeeping in ways I cant even get into AND again simplifies things if your identity gets stolen.
Step 6:
BUY A DIGITAL CAMERA/ WEB CAM:
If your going to sell your going to need pictures and scanning or taking pictures and putting them on discs wastes way too much time and is way too expensive.
When all of these things are done... CONGRATS!!
Your ready to BEGIN!
