Online Auctions such as eBay have actually grown-up in quality
over the past few years. And it's easy to understand why. From a buyers perspective once
you browse eBay you can find simply just about thing
you strength
be looking for. From collectable to clothing, from automobiles to the odd and weird. It's listed for auction on eBay. And from a sellers point of view if you have thing
that is worth selling, you are bound to find a customer for it at eBay.
As explained in my book "eBay Marketing Wholesale SourcePak" eBay is a community of members who can buy/sell items locally, across the nation
and internationally. And spell eBay has over 100 million members there are seldom
any real problems between buyers and sellers. I believe more of this can be attributed to the eBay feedback. Feedback is wherever
buyers and sellers can leave comments on their experience with each other. Whether is was a nice or a bad transaction, you can see simply about it in the feedback. Now I won't lead you to believe there are no problems at all, because that would-be not be right. But all in all things run really smoothly.
Harris Poll did a survey regarding online auctions that I found quite interesting.
43% of participants same
that they bid at online auctions looking for bargains, 23% same
they are looking for hard-to-find items and 21% were looking for collectables.
When it came to how confident buyers are at receiving their purchases, 54% were confident and 40% were really confident they would-be have no problems receiving their product. This compared to only 1% who was not confident.
51% of those surveyed same
they always, check feedback before purchasing from a merchant and 36% same
they ordinarily do. Only 3% same
they ne'er
check. I've got to believe that this 3% are newbies.
A large 83% of participants same
they had bid and purchased items. With 51% locution the average value of the product bought was up to $50.00. 24% same
the value was $51. - $100. and 21% same
$101. - $500.
66% paid for their items by personal check, cashier check or money order to the seller. Spell 44% paid by credit card victimisation the third party payment service listed on the auction. And 59% same
they had ne'er
intimate a problem with their purchases.
Considering eBay recently rumored
$14.87 billion in annual merchandise sales, there is generally really little problems between buyers and sellers. That is one of the reasons eBay does such a great House Based Business.
Happy Selling!
