Anyone here doing eBay with non-adult? Selling, that is, not buying.

If so, would love to hear from you!

Are you just starting? Doing well with it?

TheMob · 02-25-2005, 02:37 AM

Nope. At least not in the sense of what most of us think of first. However, judging from the searches I did for "ebay" prior to posting ... seems you can sell adult domains there, and there's a lot of that going on. ... Which is why I was clarifying the mainstream angle.

Looking for someone who knows the "eBay ropes" who would want to participate in a mainstream blog project I have going on. Would have to do minimum of one blog each week. More if they liked.

Already have some knowledgable folks in other areas, and that would help round things out nicely. So, if anyone's interested ...

Try the Ebay.com message boards. Or the usenet group, alt.marketing.ebay.

Brujah · 02-25-2005, 03:21 AM

I want to sell things on ebay too. Teach me.

hmm
what would be in it for me ?

Dravyk · 02-25-2005, 04:48 AM

Inthestars, thanks, but I'd rather work with folks I know with like those here with an adult-oriented background.

Bruj, exactly! That's why I'm hoping to find someone good who can show what they know and then they and others can benefit from it.

Muff, yep!

Chris, good question. The blog participants get exactly what you might think a group of knowledgable bloggers would get from such a site, and being with part of such a group. Some sweet SE traffic, the ability to have a daily blog synicated (while updating a minimum of once a week), the ability to get a core readership based on total production of the group. Importantly, the ability to leverage the reputation gained and position of being part in that core group into future money by whatever you would want to sell to mainstream webmasters and eBay newbies down the line.

Hit TF up hun, you know him.

sickkittens · 02-25-2005, 08:33 AM

I did well years ago. I got out oof it because it was too much of a hassle.

LeeNoga · 02-25-2005, 08:40 AM

Ebay raised fees, and for the moment drove some away who could not shoulder the increases....to me Ebay is way to noisey for me. It kills me to see outrageous shipping costs on things you know will cost them peanuts.

Charging $7.95 for a $1 ship actually...its amazing how Ebay lets them pass on their paypal costs to the consumer. Back when we had merchant account we were not allowed to pass on the charges Visa/MC passed on to us the merchant.

LeeNoga · 02-25-2005, 09:06 AM

Nope not blaming Ebay...and their small increae, I blame the merchants [Ebay sellers] for passing on a large increase based on the small one.
