Complement Your Auctions

An internet website equipped with E-Commerce (the ability to accept credit cards) greatly enhances your Ebay auctions. It is relatively easy to learn how to set up a basic website and E-Commerce can be purchased for as little as $50.00 per month. This is absolutely essential for Ebay sellers because it gives you the ability to accept credit cards not only on your website but as payment for your Ebay auctions!I have known vendors who tripled and even quadrupled their profits on Ebay simply by accepting Visa / Mastercard. You can set up a merchant E-Commerce account by accessing the following URL: http://www.quickcommerce.net and then following the instructions and filling out an application.

Or, you can join http://www.paypal.com which now reaches out to many countries and makes online paying for auctions incredibly easy, and it is FREE to join plus at this writing, they pay you $5.00 to open an acocunt. The only problem you will have in using paypal is that a person must be a member of paypal to pay you. Some people do not want to be a member of paypal. Not many, but some.

Another place to set up payments to accept credit cards is 2checkout.com A $49.95 set up fee, and the ability to accept payments for both tangible and intangible items. It is easy once you have learned how to set up a payment to set up any price for an item and you can make it in less than 5 minutes.

After setting up a website with your products, you can use Ebay as a free advertising tool for the new webpage! However, you must abide all rules by eBay. They have some very strict policies ..... to read their latest policies click here.

At this writing you cannot use eBay to list say 14 bathtubs and then lead your "about me" page to your sales page that sells bathtubs. You can, however link from your "about me" page to your web page that is not selling what you are auctioning off.
