Starting a Profitable eBay Store

Starting a profitable eBay Store can be a fun and exciting way to make some extra income from home.

Before however you start a store you will need to make sure you have covered several things already.

First you should have sold a few items successfully on eBay. They do not have to be new, in fact, used items usually sell better anyway since people go to eBay to bargain shop. So if you've already sold a few items then you might be ready to open an eBay store.

The most useful thing about an eBay store is getting your auctions listed in Google Product Search. It can potentially bring you tons of free traffic.

The next time you do a Google search see if notice a "Shopping Results For" with a few links listed below, you'll see they can come from multiple sources such as eBay, amazon etc, but they all come from Google's Product Search Database which includes eBay stores (if you set your store up correctly).

So, you've sold a few things successfully and want to use an eBay product search traffic. Login your eBay account, setup a store. Once you setup the store go to "My eBay" "Marketing Tools" and add the RSS feed to automatically update Google when you add items to your store.

Another important thing to do is to set your auctions to "Good Until Canceled" if you have bought it now items you can do this. This way you will get to keep those search engine listings once they are there until you cancel the auction.

From now on the more items you add, the more chances are to be found through product search, which means free traffic and free sales! Not bad for a $ 15 store investment to start your eBay Business!
