Hi Quasar, Thanks a lot for all your help,
can i also have the link please?

Ultimately, nothing can replace good business judgment, so we actually agree on this Charlie

We're on the same page, Quasar, and have been all along.

Weeding out these strange listings is just one more step in the process of identifying those profitable items which are actually selling. It's easy to get distracted by them. After all, who wouldn't jump at the chance to list a hot product that offers 500% ROI?

This has all gotten a bit long winded. Here's the short version: When you see something that appears to be selling well, just take a minute to make sure that it is actually selling.

Sometimes it's easy to miss the obvious.

To avoid refunds you need to hide the price and the amazon logo in the item box.
to do this you can contact the amazon seller and inform him that you can sell from him but in his side he need to hide the amazon logo and the price, you can tell him that you resell his products with a profit for you so he will do the work for you because its good for him !

Huh?

I don't think I have a clue what you are saying, but just taking a stab at it - if you are making onesie-twosie sales, this is a lot of extra (and unnecessary) BS.

I think in terms of hundreds and thousands of sales, which makes any sort of "hiding" or "obstructing" of ANY logos pretty futile.

Did you not read my attachment for the emails to send customers that buy from you?

The box "problem" is not a "problem" at all - if you handle it right.

Agreed - in part Charlie. And yes, I am ready to move on to other topics.

The biggest area of disagreement is that I don't need to see current sales. If sales have been made in the past - what changed?

I look for the existence of a market with "open wallets" or at least "specified interest" - if sales are happening now - GREAT!

But I don't turn away from stuff that "was" selling and dismiss it as a dead (or dying) market because sales aren't happening now.

There are more reasons for that happening than can be discussed in one hundred posts. And it sure doesn't mean the market disappeared.

Some of the absolute best, highest profit deals I have sold on Ebay were products that were discontinued one or more years ago! That is a fact - it does not have to be current stuff, which is why I don't need current sales to jump on it.

My top eight best selling products this past holiday season (2013) were ALL products that were discontinued in 2012 or before!

One or two other sellers were selling them, and I annihilated them. There were some sales being made at the time, but little real expertise in maximizing profits and sourcing the goods at the best prices.

Hell, I am still getting emails asking me if I have any more. I have had lots of customers gushing with thanks for having the products at all!

The biggest difference between me and most people is that I move fast - really - REALLY fast.

My process to act often only takes minutes. I don't worry about products with warts or having perfect situations. If you are looking at stuff that hard, you will find what you think are flaws.

Over-analysis will cost you more money than being wrong ever will - especially in arbitrage - where there is so little money at risk.

If the products sell and I can define a clear profit margin with minimal risks, I am all over them.

And here is the thing no one seems to get - if the product is selling on Ebay now, and you test it and it takes off, why the f*ck aren't you inventorying it?!

It is as close to a sure thing as you can get! It is not even remotely speculative any longer!

You want to horde all that stuff you can - it is a freakin' guaranteed winner!

Man, it does not get any better than that - you are nuts not to throw money at it to make sure you are getting all the product that can be gotten.

Anyway - now, I type a quick email to my outsourcer - ask her to confirm what I see - then list it. It is rare that the listing is live on Ebay any later than one-hour after identifying it.

So, like I posted earlier - it totally pisses me off to see someone - ANYONE - trying to turn every golden nut on a deal! It is a freakin' waste of time and costs too d*amn much money to sit on your thumb while you are counting pennies with the other hand!

Find the stuff, get the d*amn things up and sell them!

Thanks for the help Quasar. +5 Added.

Hey Quasar,

About the whole Arbitrage deal. Is it possible that you can sell on other sites besides ebay while buying from the usual sites, even though Ebay has the most traffic? I'd say amazon but I heard you don't get the money from sales until two weeks have passed.

I'm completely guilty of overthinking the simplest things and that's why I have wound up almost peniless now. I hope to take action on this and find out any objections through experience rather than internalizing. Please could you send me the link. Thanks

In this whole world or arbitrage, we have just picked-up a couple of grains of sand on the beach. The beauty in any arbitrage is that it is guerrilla marketing and selling at its best.

You can change your direction and focus, and turn to another venue in a heartbeat.

As long as you can identify a profit margin in anything, find a source and, most important of all, a place where buyers for your items assemble, you can make money.

Lots of Ebay sellers have found they do better on Amazon than they do on Ebay. (Yes, I sell on Amazon too.)

It is best to stick to the program about Ebay now. Even talking about Amazon raises an entirely different model, tactics and methods, etc.

Let's stick to Ebay arbitrage - there are enough people just trying to grasp that now.

So, the answer is yes - you can sell on Amazon. And yes, you do have to wait for Amazon to pay you - for most things.

And they don't pay by PayPal. Remember, Paypal is an Ebay company.
