Making eBay Shops Work For Your Business, Great Victoria Hotel, Bridge Street, Bradford

31 Oct

Sorry for the delay in getting this blog out I just want to say thanks for a fantastic turnout for the  Business Link Yorkshire advanced eBay Trading Workshop held at the Great Victoria Hotel, Bridge Street, Bradford.

There were one or two of you that thought the handouts were a bit on the small side and if anyone would like a pdf copy let me know and I will email it to you.

Ebay basic shops are an excellent cost-effective way of starting out on your e-commerce venture and with around 250+ million registered users make eBay a hallmark for your online success.

My advice to begin is getting to grips with the control panel and list small amounts gradually begin with the basic shop and keep growing month on month rather than try to get it all done in 5 minutes Rome was not built-in a day.

Take a look at cooltext where you can design and download a logo for free then upload to you store http://cooltext.com/

And remember you can purchase and point a domain name directly to your store for that added professionalism.

I am here to help just ask if you need me.

eBay Trading Workshop,Cedar Court Hotel,Harrogate

Thanks to all of you for the excellent turnout at yet another successful eBay trading workshop.

All topics of the basics of selling on eBay were covered and I just want to point out that here on my website you can access some videos which will help you create a listing and remember I am here if you need some help.

Once you have registered as a seller don’t forget to sign up for seller newsletter where you will be kept informed of all the latest developments on all things eBay for sellers.

We keep getting the 64 million dollar question at the end of the workshop where do we purchase goods for resale and so a quick reminder that suck simple things such as yell.com,yellow pages, or even applegate.com are good starting points and before you decide to become some big importers of goods for resale please tread very carefully investigate and don’t buy unless you can through paypal.
